The Easiest Spring Bouquet Ever

Honestly, it is. Just tulips and bears grass. That’s it.
That’s all you need for the most beautiful spring bouquet ever!

Many years ago I lived in a little brick house with some of my closest friends. We had the best times ever! One of my friends always made sure we had flowers in our home. And not just a few, but huge bouquets of tulips and bears grass. Since then I have always had a fondness for this arrangement…especially this time of year. For me, they are signal of spring, hope and friendship. Nothing better than that!

So because I love this arrangement so much, I wanted to share it with you in time for your Easter dinners!

All you need is a bunch of tulips (I like to use at least 20 for fullness), and 1 bunch of bears grass.
1 big glass vase.
Some pretty ribbon to finish it all off.

I like the wildness of this type of bouquet, so I just arrange it so that the tulips look like they are spilling out of the vase. Then I tuck in the bears grass evenly into the spaces between the tulips.

That’s all you have to do for the prettiest arrangement ever!
So go now, and get your flowers! It’s never too early for a beautiful bouquet of springtime in your home!

Have an inspired day!

Pumpkin Flower Arrangements

This past weekend I hosted Canadian Thanksgiving at our home.

We celebrated a week after the actual holiday, so that all of our family could be together!

And I had a such a great time planning and putting together everything for this day!

The first thing I made was this pumpkin flower arrangement.

I have always wanted to make one of these pretties,

and Thanksgiving seemed like the perfect time to do it!

Very simple. Absolutely stunning. And so festive!

I used fall mums, gerbera daisies, delphinium, carnations, various greens, and of course kale! I love kale!

Materials Required:
1 pumpkin (I used a white pumpkin, but I think I would use an orange one next time)
1 vase or container small enough to fit inside the pumpkin, but wide enough to hold the flowers
flowers
carving knife and spoon

This is a very easy DIY, with such an amazing decorative effect! I was able to put this together in under a half hour, which is so great when you have a lot of other things to do!

All you have to do is carve and clean out a pumpkin.
Place a water filled vase inside the pumpkin.
Cut the flower stems down far enough to cover the opening of the pumpkin.
And arrange your flowers!

Tip!

You can put this arrangement together a day or even 3 days ahead of an event, as the pumpkin, in my experience, does not deteriorate very fast at all! As long as you are keeping the arrangement indoors, it should stay looking fabulous for quite some time! (I put mine together on a Thursday, and am still enjoying it on the following Tuesday, with no signs of any deterioration!)
To make things super easy, buy your flowers already arranged in a bouquet.

With American Thanksgiving around the corner, put this simple, yet stunning DIY on your to-do list!
