I love to have fresh flowers around my home. At this time of year, there's never any need to go to the florist, just a pair of secateurs and a quick tour of the garden, grab a vase and I'm in business! Recently, however, I found myself in a bit of a rut. A rose-filled sweet smelling rut I grant you, but a rut nevertheless.
I've been hunting around on the net for some ideas for arranging my flowers differently, more - dare I say it - fashionably !! I came across the site of Sia, a Spanish homeware company, whose products I'm already familiar with their products, they are sold here in France. I love these pictures of tight bouquets, packed tightly into sweet compact vases. They often use just one variety of flower, roses for example, and it gives a beautiful and elegant understated effect.
Now I just have to practice!.

Wow, these are spectacular...I love flowers!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I grow some and it is so fun to pick them and arrange them...makes my day to have an
arrangement of my own blooms!
I like the idea of all the same flowers and how they are packed tight in the vase. It has a nice, charming look to it. Thank you for sharing!!

Sharon~ I love fresh flowers around my home all year long, but it's somehow easier right now. I recently purchased two big bundles and just kept changing the water and trimming stems-they lasted two weeks. I love a nice tight bunch of flowers all together- and I can even adore a pickle jar filled with Cosmos! I'm sure you have the sweetest arrangements! They just make me smile when I enter a room!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Love the big,fat posies of the one flower - very Ralph Lauren. And those orchids are beautiful. How lucky you are to have an abundance of flowers to choose from.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks so much for adding my giveaway to your side bar - you're too sweet! K xx
So French, so fashionable!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous bunches!! I love having flowers inside the house but the wood heater is the death of them at the moment. I am looking forward to planting some new roses for this coming spring :)
ReplyDeleteYes, fresh flowers are beautiful in your home. I don't get the chance to have them as much as I would like.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you here! there's nothing like fresh flowers to instantly brighten-up the house.. sometimes I cheat though..yes! I bought some fakes from SIA ,they look like the real thing-almost- and do not require water changes :-)
well, I do not have a gorgeous garden like you do!
Have a lovely weekend!

SO beautiful, which, I have learned, is simply de rigeur in your domain!
