Kale

If you like to create with odd flowers or plants and have an eye for something different, you'll love using kale. For many kale looks like a style of cabbage and lettuce but it's in fact also a flower. It is edible but at flower shops it's used for decoration. Either way you be the judge and see if you like it only on a plate of salad or as a flower arrangement.




The middle lettuce like green flower is Kale.
Here's a picture of it on its own.



A table topper

This idea can be used for any party. For a wedding of sunflowers, an engagement party, a dinner, well about anything...u get the idea. Make sunflowers look a bit more formal by adding lizianthus and a touch of black .


Rustic and vintage pots u gotta love

I'm sure everyone has that random old rustic pot that they've been harboring at home for years. If it's not yours I'm sure mother or grandma have a couple of their own that just hang out at home in the randomest of places. Most people use them to hold a plant in or just as a random home decoration. But if you want to do something a bit different , add flowers to it. Hosting a little get together? well instead of the usual glass vase floral arrangement use a pot that you've had for years and make it something beautiful and classic. Vintage pots make about the best flower arrangement vases ever...sure makes any couple of flowers look like they're worth twice as much.



               Definetely makes this rustic cracked pot look fabulous.

Bubble bowl

One of the most common vases for arranging is the bubble bowl. You can find it almost anywhere and they rarely get higher than $20. So if you have one at home (maybe your dead goldfishes ex home ) you can re-use and create a little something. Heres an idea of an inexpensive cute bubble bowl arrangement.



Dahlia

It's been forever since my last post and I have so much I'd love to share. Making arrangements for people has really become a passion of mine. It's a lovely feeling to know that your work can impact a persons day profoundly. Not only are flowers beautiful but theres certain meanings behind them. People give flowers for love and to cheer people up and about every other occassion. And I get to witness a smile on someones face everyday for something I've created. So I've learned to truly love it.
 The best part is that you can find a style for everyone. And the style for this post is for a girly french dahlia loving person...if that makes sense at all.  And with that heres my creation ...
What most appeals to me in this arrangement is the amazing dahlia, i don't think there is any prettier.
