If you are hosting an event at home and want to set a casual vibe, use asters, daisies or marigolds to create a colorful, summery feel for your guests. These floating flowers can be great centerpieces for a lunch if accompanied by colorful tea light candles.
Vintage Vases:
Mason jars, teapots, classic urns or tattered clay pots are some of the many containers that can turn elegant to vintage and chic. Make your home more vibrant with these authentic vases and add any flower your heart desires to complete the look. Delphiniums, cornflowers, sweet williams, dahlias and sunflowers will compliment the vases in any area of your home.
Variety of Flowers with Similar Colors:
Match your favorite color with your favorite types of flowers and create a masterpiece! Putting together an arrangement using different flowers in similar shades and adding in a complementary vase will give your home an injection of liveliness. Strip flower stems of leaves, arrange the tallest flowers in the vase first and cut the rest of the flower stems in half so that the heads fall beneath the tallest flowers and fill in the gaps.
