Casa Quickie: Double Your Pleasure
Once you've taken steps to make your cut flowers last longer, you might as well make the most of them while they're lookin' good. Once you've put them in a chic vase, set it in front of a mirror! For the price of one bouquet, this trick will give your arrangement the visual presence of two.
Casa Verde: Farmers Market Bouquets
How does your bouquet grow? Well, if you ordered it from Bay Area florists Studio Choo, it grew locally. Owners Alethea Harampolis and Jill Pilotte shop at farmers markets daily for fresh and seasonal flowers, and deliver throughout the Bay Area.
Casa Quickie: Home Deliver Flowers to Someone Special
Who doesn't love receiving a bouquet of flowers? Whether it's delivered from the local flower shop, or arrives in the hands of a dinner party guest, a bouquet really can make someone feel special.
So, what's stopping you?
Cool Idea: A Bouquet of Water Flowers
I'm so impressed with this beautiful bouquet of water flowers. While I would never advocate picking flowers out of a freshwater lake (especially if it's a rare plant), if you have a backyard pond or fountain, it would be wise to cultivate some water flowers to use for an unusual bouquet or arrangement. Can you imagine how stunning a bouquet of water flowers would look at a lakeside wedding?
Cool Idea: A Bouquet of Macarons
There's a reason Sofia Coppola keyed the palette of her film Marie Antoinette around a box of French macarons: the feminine pastel tones are simply chic and utterly delightful.
So, why not think inside the box and forgo a traditional bouquet for your flower girls in favor of an arrangement of macarons? Your little flower girls will be engaged by the sweet pastries, and your guests intrigued.
Casa Quickie: Color Coded
The next time you buy fresh flowers, find some small objects that match the blooms' colors, and arrange the flowers next to these objects. The coordinating colors will really maximize the decorating power of the flowers. Taken together, the objects, along with your fresh bouquet, will add a beautiful ambiance to the room.
Etsy Find: Felt Flower Button Bouquets
If the fleeting beauty of a fresh floral bouquet isn't what you had in mind for your wedding or other celebration, you're in luck. Etsy seller Princess Lasertron makes custom bouquets from hand-stitched felt and vintage buttons that will last well beyond your ceremony, and perhaps your five-year anniversary. But you needn't be tying the knot to take one home.
Cool Idea: Hanging Wedding Flowers
Miss Cherry Pie recently posted photos of her hanging wedding flowers. She's still perfecting the idea, but I think they look great already. She writes that she "spent some time this weekend with my shepherd’s hooks and cache of jars working out how to attach one to the other.
DIY: Build Your Own Wedding Bouquet
If you love to make your own bouquets for your home, you can easily make one for your own wedding, or for that of a friend or family member. Not only will you help to save money, you'll also create a unique, personalized bouquet that will help to make the day more special. Remember to try to go with simple, fresh flowers that are grown locally — if you can buy from a flower grower or farm and cut the flowers yourself the day before the wedding, you're guaranteed to have gorgeous, fresh blooms.
Have You Helped Make a Ribbon Bouquet?
If you've ever been to a bridal shower, you may have been responsible for helping to DIY the ribbon bouquet. At bridal showers, it's traditional to gather all of the ribbons together from the gifts and construct a bouquet, which will then be used at the wedding rehearsal.
