Henry’s party last weekend needed some flowers but I didn’t want to spend much money. I bought this $10 bouquet (discounted 50% because it was a little past its prime, probably a V-day leftover) and went to work.
What I had to work with – there’s more than you think in these things!
I like to use small containers, especially my mason jars. This time I used two JD Country Milk quart containers I had on hand from recent experiments with buttermilk.
The final result! Eight little arrangements I can enjoy throughout the house. Grouping them together is nice. The three blue vases went on the mantle and I put one tall rose and the single blossom together on a side table.
Any other budget flower tips out there? I don’t buy them as often as a should. The flowers are still going strong almost a week later and it makes me smile every time I see them.
What are your favorite flowers?
These are wonderful flower arrangements they are so basic but so amazing at the same time. The flowers are great.
These are great flower arrangements with just the basic things you can make great flower arrangements.
Love your flower arrangements! So bright and colorful–and love the blue glass bottles. I am beginning to see daffodils popping out now—one of my favorites–a hopeful glimpse of Spring. And cheers to you, Mark, for bringing home flowers to your wife! Husbands, take a lesson.
