Spring Flowers

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

It’s Spring again and the flowers are blooming!  Here are some Spring time flower arrangements that you may want to consider for your Quince.

 The first and obvious choice are Roses.  They have the biggest color palette of all flowers and you can score these babies all year around. As the climate gets warmer the Roses get growing!  So Spring Time = more Roses!!!

Another lovely flower are Tulips but hurry quick because when Summer hits the prices for these will go up!

Here is a cute bouquet of Daisies and Tulips.

 Next we have the bright, fresh, and simply delightful Daffodil.  This flower has spring time written all over it!

Next we have Anemones.   They have a large bright bloom. Perfect for bringing outdoor nature indoors!

Whatever you decide, make sure you choose a floral arrangement that represents you and your theme! If you are bold and outgoing, go for those bright bouquets. If you’re more romantic, check out the pink Roses and add tons of Babies’ Breadth. Just be sure you check the growth season so that you are not disappointed if a flower isn’t available or costs a fortune! If you are planning on making your own floral arrangements, check out the wholesale florists or the Farmer’s Market in your area for bargains.

Be a Square!

Centerpieces serve many purposes; brings attention to an otherwise bland table, built in door prize for guests, and just looks so pretty!  You can do inexpensive centerpieces, without looking cheap.  A simple and understated centerpiece can still speak volumes:   

 elegant…

 

whimsical… 

 

sophisticated… 

 dainty…

 

natural… 

 

These square glass vases can be bought in bulk at my favorite discount retailer, the DollarTree.  

 

Sold in a case of 12 for $12

 

River rocks sold in a case of 16 for $16.  

Colored glass rocks I have seen in the store for a $1 per packet.  However, I couldn’t find them sold in bulk online :(

I did find them at my other favorite craft store save-on-crafts.com 

$1.49 /pk (24 or more packs. Otherwise, $2.09/pk)

 

 Flowers can be either silk or fresh blossoms from your mom’s garden (or neighbor’s, I won’t tell!).

 Visit a store today and I promise you can make a beautiful centerpiece for under $3 each!

 

Just Rosy!
