mason jar florals

Mason jars seem to be everywhere these days. Somehow these inexpensive jars look so amazing with everything- from food to flowers. Try using them for your own floral arrangement!

try decorating them too!

flower arrangements

I love weekly fresh flowers in my kitchen.  It is beautiful to bring some of nature in to your home. Try making your own arrangement for your kitchen or next family dinner!

hydrangea

to do: wrap a banana leaf around the vase, cut stems short, tie with a rubber band

don't know what a banana leaf is? ask your florist for one!

 

roses

to do: remove all leaves, clip according to vase, and stagger them around

peonies

the key to peonies is you need a lot of them to make an arrangement like this!

baby's breath

to do: use tons and tons of baby's breath.  Use a low vase, clip short and tie together

white oriental lily

to do: clean most of the leaves from the stems and stagger around vase of choice

(calla lily)

orchids

these were my flower arrangements from my wedding dinner

my favourite...white orchids!
