Mother’s Day is coming up. I would love to share flowers with my wonderful daughter-in-law.
I love fresh flowers for my centerpieces all year long. The two special occasions coming up where I like to use fresh flowers for are Memorial Day and Fourth of July. I have a pretty red, white and blue patriotic pitcher I use as a vase and centerpiece for both holidays so I am always looking for ideas for flower arrangements to fill it with.
I would like to give a beautiful arrangement to my mother for Mother Day Thank you for the giveaway
My wife and I love to incorporate fresh flowers in our main living spaces. We also love to use succulents.
I would use this book to make arrangements for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party. I love your blog!
Throwing my name in the hat.
Would love to win that book! My daughter is graduating soon, so it would be nice to have some ideas for that!
I have a bridal shower coming up that this would be perfect inspiration for!!
Grand Baby Sip and See coming up
I decorate my home with fresh flowers every day, and could use some new ideas. Thanks Rhoda!!
Love fresh flowers in my home! I don’t really need any special occasion for them either!
I just had a baby shower and I was in charge of flower arranging!!! I did an adequate job but really need some help!!!
No special occasion coming up…I’d just like to start bringing more flowers into the house.
very pretty
I will be making a bridal bouquet for my daughter’s wedding in NOLA in Dec 14. Could use this to bolster my confidence.
I can’t remember a time when there my mother and grandmother didn’t have some sort of flower arrangement on their dining tables, even if it was a simple crock of marigolds or petunias. Living on a farm, there was always some place to put in a few seeds or cuttings to provide cutting flowers. To this day, arranging flowers is one of the ways I return calm to my soul. I am sure that it is in the Southern Woman’s DNA.
I’m new to your blog, having discovered it only since Christmas, but it’s become an invaluable source of inspiration and information. Your ideas for decorating are great, and the posting about using flowers is no exception. Love the idea of the flowers under the upside down wine glasses with votives on top! It’s just thing to spruce up my brand new screened in back porch.
I don’t have a special occasion right now, but I just love having fresh flowers in my home, and would love to get some new ideas of using them….
I forgot the special occasion because it seems to me every day is a reason to celebrate. However, besides being a part of the flower arranging team at my church, we do have a very special autumn farm wedding coming up in our family.
I am working on a tea for my sister’s 60th birthday and this would help me with the table arrangements. Would love to win one of these books!
