I believe flowers should be mandatory in every household. They're incredibly easy to manage, they last for over a week and they make your home look pretty - but most of all they make you feel pretty.
Most people think they have to buy flowers from the market or the florist, but what they forget about is what they have in their own backyards!
Flowers: Venture out into your garden and see what you can find. Maybe go for a walk around the neighbourhood or your local park. Pick any greens, buds & flowers, but try to mix them up to keep things interesting - and pretty.
Vases: You can find some really unique vases or containers at local thrift and vintage shops. Or you can find some cute and unique ones online, like these mini mason jars, or this quirky cholet hollow vase or my fave, these sugar cone wall planters.
Step 1: Take your bunch and cut the bottom of the stems on a slant. This will give them a lifespan of a around about a week.
Step 2: Separate the florals from the greens. For one floral there is, add two green stems so they look like mini-bunches.
Step 3: Piece all your mini-bunches together so it looks like a small bouquet.
Step 4: Arrange your small bouquet into the vase/container of your choice — any size will do. Try to aim for smaller though, it makes your small bouquet 'pop' more.
