Fun with Flowers
Mar 24 2010
Hi All! I've been wanting to apologise profusely for the lack of updates in the last month or so. I've missed quite a few days here and there and I've also been particularly bad with answering emails... BIG apologies! Some recurring health issues have left me scrambling at the last minute to get the details finished for my upcoming Engagement Party. And, yes, I'm big on the details! There are quite a few DIY elements involved so, needless to say, I've been flat out. The party is this sunday and my fiance and I are incredibly excited!!
My lovely mother and I recently spent an afternoon playing around with table floral arrangement ideas in preparation for sunday. We picked up some vibrant, summery colours- red, orange and pink gerberas, yellow billy buttons and strawberry fields. We're also hoping to add some other flowers of similar colours to the mix on the day. I'm in love with big, bright sunflowers at the moment and would like to see them incorporated in some way. As you can see, we're going with very simple arrangements in a collection of assorted jars. These were just a practice run with some work-in-progress ideas. Stay tuned for pics of the event to see the final result!
what a beautiful idea with the flowers! love the colours.
Have fun at your party!
You do such a beautiful job of weaving your real life into your inspiring posts.
Thank you - I very much enjoy visiting your blog.
Lovely bright colourful flowers. Such a simple, easy and effective idea putting them in different sized glass vases. Look forward to seeing your pictures of the party :-)
Sunflowers are amazing flowers however they can be messy in smaller vessels (you can chance thin-stemmed varieties but not always available) ...
Otherwise a fun use of colour and flowers - (As a florist myself most of the time I believe it's context and vase choice that makes the floral arrangement)
Mum does look busy and enjoying herself making the flowers. Congrats on your engagement..
posting is amazing as always!
