Give your mom flowers, and she'll smile for a day. Take her to a hip floral class, and she can create arrangements for a lifetime. (that's right, the proverb works for Mother's Day gifts too). On Saturday, May 11, from 10-11 a.m., West Elm stores nationwide will show students how to create an arrangement from The Flower Recipe Book, penned by highly sought-after floral designers Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo of Studio Choo.
For $65, you'll be equipped with a vase, clippers, blooms, and a book, so all you have to do is call your local store to reserve a spot and show up. Yes, it's that easy!
Aside from the bonding points you'll score while crafting your killer arrangement, the inclusion of this jaw-dropping coffee-table tome bundles two gifts in one. The book is filled with step-by-step tutorials ranging from bouquets to garlands and is categorized by season and formality, so there's no need for the class to end on Saturday!

More versatile than silver and less flashy than gold, brass is enjoying its moment in the metallic spotlight, and we are thrilled. Think of it as your new best accessory: it goes with anything, feels rich (more old-money than new) and wears oh-so well. Get ready, get set — brass attack!
Whether you're looking to be bold or keep it mellow, make yellow your go-to hue. Once the Spring-cleaning is done, a bright touch can easily refresh your space and kick off the Summer months. Since decorating with this color can be tough (and even a bit intimidating), we took to Instagram for examples to help guide and inspire you and your home. Add flowers, or go all out with a coat of paint. Really, there's no excuse not to brighten up your space with this cheery color!
