Valentine Florals

Valentine Florals

Roses aren’t the only flower perfect for Valentine’s day. Stray from the typical bouquet of long stemmed roses for one of these fun arrangements you can do yourself.

 

Using this idea from Lia Griffith, you can make mini arrangements to give as gifts or display in your home. Find the link right here. She says, “The flowers I use are often inexpensive grocery store finds. I chose white alstroemeria for the largest vase, a bundle of green kermit flowers, simple mini daisy filler flowers and a small bunch of lemon leaf, technically known as salal. When I owned my flower shop many years ago, salal was my favorite green. It is very hardy, has a smooth matte leaf and adds a nice backdrop to any arrangement. Of course, you can choose any variety of flowers, colors and greens you like. Have fun, get creative, and experiment with other office decorating ideas!”

 

We also can’t wait to try this idea incorporating tulips, which are in season this time of year! They are the cutest little sign of spring which is on its way! Find the tutorial here from Life at Clover Hill.

 

From Momtastic, we found this list of 101 great tips and tricks for flower arranging. The author says, “There are so many amazing arrangements out there for every occasion. With these flower arrangement tips and tutorials, virtually anyone can make these—even me!”

 

For pretty vases, we love this one from West Elm. A beautiful flower arrangement would look gorgeous against the rugged feel of this charcoal toned vase.

 

If you want your arrangement to last, using faux flowers is an option as well. There are a ton of different options and styles and you don’t have to wait until your favorites are in season!
