The fashion world is enjoying a ’70s renaissance of bell bottoms and bohemian blouses, so it only makes sense that wedding season is all about flower power. But who’s to say the décor needs to be in a vase? This year, flowers, foliage and succulents too, are showing up in lots of unexpected places.
Feeling creative? Here’s a wonderful DIY garland blog from Style Me Pretty Living!
One of the best parts of being a flower farmer is obviously - the flowers - and having them available year round makes it even better. First, the protea bloom, then the waxflower, pincushions and leucadendron and soon the fields are overflowing in a rainbow of colors. Not only do I enjoy growing and harvesting flowers, I love seeing them beautifully displayed in trendy and unique ways. So as you can imagine sometimes an ordinary vase just doesn’t cut it when a pickup full of fresh flowers arrives from the fields. It’s fun to create a gorgeous hand-tied bouquet and experiment with a few special containers to see just how they fit. Once you find that perfect combination of beauty along with your personal touch – the display becomes BEyouTIFUL!
Love containers: Here’s a few of my favorites:
Metal Buckets: Nothing says “From the Field to the Vase” like a flowers displayed in an old metal bucket.
Pitchers: The more unique, the better! Pitchers are beautiful, curvy works of art in and of themselves, but adding blooms makes for a colorful piece of art.
Antique Tins: Lucky you if you already have some lying around, but if not you might want to search out your local Thrift Shop.
