Flowering Friday

Good morning and happy Friday!! I hope that this week has treated you well and that you all will have a good weekend! Let's start this Friday off right with some beautiful spring colored flowers! These flowers are actually from last week, but they lasted and are still doing well, so I did not get any new flowers this week. 

 These bright colors have added such "sunshine" to our home. I'm loving the brightness of spring. 

Flowering Friday

Happy Friday everyone! The week has ended, it's time to celebrate with this weeks flowers!!

This week I had two vases going. One contained Hydrangea bunches that I combined. I consider white and blue to by my favorite colors and color combinations. Hydrangeas are always a really nice touch and a lot can be done with one or two bunches. 

 The second vase has the spider flowers that have been dipped and painted all different colors. These flowers are just a fun touch to entrance table!

Flowering Friday- Gerbera Daisy and Stock Flower

Good morning everyone!! This weeks flowers were all about continuing with the bright spring colors. While the daisy's may sometimes be more of a late summer/fall type flower, I love how the colors really popped against our home and the blue vase!! 

Flowering Fridays- A new look, Hyacinth and Daffodils

It's Friday! Congratulations on making through another week! As a reward, I have a post full of pretty flowers for you to look at!

This week, I continued with the spring colors as the weather continued with the clouds, rain, and gloominess. I picked up some pink Hyacinth bunches and some daffodils. I still had the english cottage roses, so I kept those as well. I love the contrast with both the pink hyacinth, yellow daffodils and blue mason jar as well as with the white roses in the large jar.

This provides the perfect touch to our entrance table!

The pink hyacinth provides a good contrast to the white roses.

Flowering Friday- Time to Get the Spring Colors!

Happy Friday!! I love being able to end the week on a happy, pretty note! I put these together early in the week when it was gloomy and rainy outside (which is some of my favorite weather, just sayin') and I love that I was able to bring some bright color into our home!

This week I, once again, used both Roses and Tulips in the arrangement. White Cottage Roses and some bright Pink and White tipped Tulips take the front stage in our home. This is a very simple arrangement and is currently the only flower arrangement in our home. I have really been loving the Tulips and having Tulips in the arrangements. I feel like it starting to bring Spring in :)

Flowering Friday- Hydrangea's, Roses, and Tulips

Good morning! I am so happy that it is Friday! Another week is drawing to a close and it's time for the weekend!

This weeks flowers are very special. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and so when I have the option to use them, I take it! I also love that I am still able to use the roses from last week and simply spruce them up with some Tulips.  Blue is my favorite color and I love the pair blue and white  in just about anything.

The hydrangeas are currently sitting on our dining room table and there are not any other flowers that I have paired with them in the vase. For me, whether I put additional flowers in a vase really depends. This is a unique situation as I originally was going to put some Baby's Breathe in with the hydrangeas, but at the last minute I decided not to add them in. The hydrangeas look great on there own, so I decided to have all three bunches in together.

 Then, since I still had the Baby's Breathe left to use, I decided to take the tulips and put them in one of the mason jar containers from our wedding with some baby's breathe in the background. I absolutely love how this arrangement came out!

Finally, I took the last few tulips leftover and put them in with the roses that were still around from last week. It spruced up the roses and looks really great on our corner table. I also am able to now get some more time out of the roses.

Flowering Friday

This week is full of firsts!! Today is the first post for Flowering Friday! These posts will be all about flowers. I will discuss getting the flowers, different arrangements and what to do when they start dying. I will also touch on the weeks flower arrangement in our home. Flowers are usually my finishing touch on any main room after re organizing and decorating or designing the room.

This week I kept it simple with some roses. I always love to work with roses, because I feel that they are timeless and a good subtle way to add a soft beautiful touch to a room. They are reasonably priced and will work well on their own or with other flower. This week I only did the roses, which was unusually for me, but I like how they turned out.

My favorite roses are the English Cottage Roses, which are in this arrangement along with some other colored roses. I chose the orange and red colored roses because I feel like they are bright, warm and welcoming during the cold winter months.

Oh the flowers!!

I have become very interested in flower arrangements...I think it's part of my need to put things together and see how individual pieces can fit together. Or I just like to put pretty things together :) Either way, I have started doing these arrangements for the past couple of months. 

My favorite flowers are Lillies (any kind), Cottage Roses and Hydrangeas. Cottage roses are the flowers I work with the most because they work with just about any flower or on their own and they are the easiest to find and buy. I also work a lot with Carnations (as you will see below). I normally do two different arrangements, one in a larger case and one in a mason jar, that way I can use a good amount of flowers and I can put them in different areas of our house. 

One of my favorites is my most recent arrangement. It includes Cottage Roses and Alstroemerias: 

The orange cottage roses were a great find (and the same color from some of our wedding roses) and I was happy to work with a great filler flower. 

I have included some more of my favorites below:
