With spring on most of our minds, I can’t help but think of flowers and beautiful arrangements this time of year. Incorporating fresh flowers in decor is something that I do more often than I used to, even if it’s just grocery store flowers.

Hi Rhoda,
Just wanted to let you know that the “fix” you tried to correct the Feedburner problem did not work. It’s so sad to scroll through my emails and find not one blog! I’m so bored! haha! Actually, I have more time for chores, but sure miss “my” time perusing my favorite blogs. Hopefully, the issue will be solved soon.

Hi, Rhonda, yes I keep hearing from more and more people that still aren’t getting emails and I really don’t know what else to do at this point. The only other suggestion is to set up a Reader and subscribe to blogs that way. Like Digg or Bloglovin.
Thank you, Rhoda! I’ll check into that!
I love fresh flowers and my wonderful husband buys me a fresh bundle every couple of weeks. I enjoy arranging them and would love some fresh ideas! We have prom and graduation coming up and I will most definitely have fresh flowers around the house.
I am planning a Mother’s Day dinner for my 93 yr old Mom…..flowers add just the right touch!
My cousin is getting married in a couple weeks and it’s the perfect time of year to incorporate lots of fresh flowers!
Mother’s Day! Our mothers and grandmothers have all gone to be with the Lord so for me Mother’s Day is a chance to express how much I LOVE being a mother. I cook something yummy and we enjoy a family lunch at home after church. I love that so much more than going out!
Everything Southern Lady does is so beautiful. I love flowers and would really like to own the book. Thanks for the chance.
Sounds like something I could really need help with. I need to buy pre-arranged as I can never figure out how to get things to stay and look good.
Oops that was mothers day for the event.
I’ve been working hard at establishing a cutting garden and would love some tips on arranging the bounty!
I love fresh flowers any day, but especially on Mothers Day!
Love your blog and love Southern Lady Magazine. I would love to have this book as a resource.
Love using fresh flowers from my yard and for special occasions. I adore Southern Lady books and magazines.
I have a 65th bday party (dinner/dance) for my dad that my sisters and I are planning at the end of May, would love some ideas on how to use fresh flowers in decorations or centerpieces.
I am giving a a birthday party for two of dearest friends. in late May. They have been so wonderful to me giving my daughter-in-law a beautiful Baby Shower.We all love flowers.
4th of July ideas would be awesome! Thank you Rhoda!
My daughter has a special birthday in May and her three children and I had decided to fill her home with flowers she loves.
I always like some type of fresh flowers, even if it’s greenery. Next will be Fathers Day!
I’m having a baby shower and want my Florida home to look special.
Thanks – Rhoda!

I have a daughter who is getting married in a year or so. In the meantime, I would love to learn the basics so I can add a little life to my home. Flowers are the perfect accessory! Thanks for your inspiration!
I have a Graduation party for my two boys – one with his Master’s Degree and one from high school. Would love to be able to arrange flowers easily for that and many other occasions, including every day!
oh so gorgeous – I want to be a southern gal too!
Always love, love fresh flowers! I work in the President’s office of a local college and would love to impress my boss with some ideas for VIP events. I have a new home with a dreamy Southern porch that calls for some flowers and wreaths for the 4th of July when I’m having out-of-town guests! I will have a red door by then (it’s a fixer).
Love the inspiration in this book – for my events, I’m always focused on horse racing’s “Triple Crown” season – the Kentucky Derby features “the run for the roses”, the Preakness Stakes is all about black-eyed Susans (out of season in mid-May so they actually paint the centers of yellow daisies black!), and the flower for the Belmont Stakes is the white carnation – easy to create decorations using each of these flowers!
