Easy Flower Arrangements....I absolutely love fresh flowers all year round... Especially when entertaining at home or over the holidays they are a quick decor item. We go to our grocery store and purchase a mixed bouquet of flowers or a dozen roses and put them in a vase. You can go to the local shop and still make a stunning floral installation on your own.
For this installation I went to my local grocery store and bought bunches of red carnations (3 bunches for $9.00)--A COMPLETE STEAL! I came home and separated the flowers, pulled the leaves, cut the stems, and threw out the white filler. I have a set of 12 vases which I purchased for a party from SAV-ON-CRAFTS. You can order 12 vases for $30.00. I took a bunch of the carnations and tied them together with a green rubber band (you can also buy green floral tape), I prefer you use the tape if you are doing this for a party. I cut the stems and then I angled the flowers to reach out of the vases at varying heights.
The key to this installation is the symmetry of color and vases. The flowers don't have to be expensive to make a floral arrangement interesting and memorable. This would be a great piece for a mantle place, or a shorter version on a dinning room table. I will continue to post my easy do it yourself floral arrangements throughout the holidays!!
most importantly play around with the flowers...have fun
be legendary...zm
