Flowers, flowers, and more flowers 🌺

May 7

Who doesn’t love flowers? Unless you suffer from terrible allergies, fresh flowers bring beauty and life to any room decor, inside and out. Unfortunately for me, I am not blessed with a green thumb. Thankfully, my better half does all of the gardening and we have beautiful peonies (my absolute favorite) and roses every spring. I also love orchids, hydrangeas and blossom stems.

While the beauty of the florals fade quickly as they bloom and then die off, I’ve figured out a way to have “faux-ever” florals all year long. Now before you say anything, artificial flowers have come a long way from the plastic, often tacky look in days past. Gone are those cringeworthy arrangements you see collecting dust and cobwebs that look like they’re overflowing from their vases/pots. I’m quite impressed with how real, both visually and texturally, they are up close and to the touch. I even have people coming up and touching my orchids just to see. If they were real, they’d surely die with all the traffic from onlookers.

Floral arrangements have been a lot of fun to create and design. I get to choose different vessels and planters and they totally change the look of each arrangement. They add that pop of color to a room and bring life and warmth to any decor.
