One of my favorite things to do in the summer months is make simple bouquets and flower groupings either from flowers cut from my yard or sunflowers from the floral department at the grocery store. For me, it's about the simplicity of the arrangement. Use a pretty container like these green mason jars, group several together in a wicker basket and the beauty of the sunflower becomes the star.
Unlikely flowers and greenery can fill a container beautifully. I like to wander my yard and garden, snipping a flower here and there. My trick is to use greenery from my woods as filler, so I don't need as many flowers to make an impact. If you don't have access to any woods, branches from ordinary bushes can have really pretty leaves too. This arrangement uses some wild grass, daisies, zinnias and even some leggy petunias.
Even these sweet daisies make a big impact, when placed in a small crystal vase. These would look so pretty on a bathroom counter or on your bedside table. You don't need a lot of flowers when you look for the simplicity and sweetness in flower arranging.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Me too Vicki. I'm constantly going out in my yard to pick something and put it in a jar. I will miss all the flowers when they are gone.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love being able to cut things from our yard. Just brought in a few of my blue hydrangeas and white flox the other day. I am all for a simple arrangement. Adore sunflowers and daisies. They last so long.
ReplyDeleteLove the daisies and the sunflowers in the green jar. My daughter just got married and used sunflowers in her bouquet and on the tables in blue canning jars along with a variety of other flowers. Love the look of that.
ReplyDeleteWe are two peas in a pod, the more simple the arrangement and vase, the prettier it is. I like to buy mixed bouquets and then come up with a lot of different ideas. Sadly, I don't have much to cut at this point! lol!
