| Add a splash of sunshine! |
Nothing brings the outside in like fresh flowers. It's the perfect way to beautify your home, brighten your day, and catch a beautiful scent. It's an easy and accessible addition to any room, and can be as custom as an order from your local florist, as grab-and-go as a pre-made boquet at the grocery store, or as close as blooms freshly cut from your own garden.
The most important tip here is: Choose what you like! Chances are there are varieties, colors, and fragrances that you enjoy already. You may also want to consider your existing decor, the current season, or even the containers you have at your disposal.
Spring arrangements often feature daffodils and tulips. Their soft/bright color options make a wonderful introduction of the season after a bland, dark winter.
Summer blooms, like Dahlias or Sunflowers, are often bright and vibrant.
Autumn arrangements, like the outdoor foliage, turn to rust-colored and subdued hues. Speaking of outdoor foliage, why not bring in some maple or oak leaves when planning your fall arragement?
Amaryllis is the traditional winter-blooming flower, and looks beautiful accented with pine boughs. Holly and ivy are also popular, with bright berries and greens holding a promise of spring color to come!
Don't limit your arrangement to whatever fits in your existing vases! Many (water-tight!) containers can hold and accentuate your fresh arrangements. Float fresh blooms in a beautiful bowl; fill a glass pitcher to bring beauty to your kitchen. The possibilities are endless!
