Casual Floral

    
Fresh flowers are not just for special occasions but everyday and you can decorate in style with little effort.  The following two examples give ideas which you will want to use as is or change to your liking. 
  

Suggested Supplies
Miscellaneous Jar or Vases
Group of Raffia
Orange Lilies
Beauty Asters
Ming

  

This idea works with a mason jar on the kitchen counter or imagine a summer party with different size jars scattered up the middle of your tables.  You might add red carnations and some blue bachelor buttons to give a deeper hot look.  Whatever the reason, it's easy.  If you have trouble placing flowers in your vase, arrange like we have on our nose gay page.  Start with floral anchor tape.

Suggested Supplies
Many varieties of Roses
Many different size and shaped vases
 
There is so many ideas that pop up with this picture I am not sure where to begin.  Can you imagine a garden party in the summer when everyone's garden is really blooming?  On the monthly invitation, it reads, "It's show and tell month" and everyone is requested to bring their pick of the garden with clear vase.  After the flowers and guests arrive, the host cuts each in different lengths and drops into table arrangement.  What about an afternoon wedding where this arrangement is set up as the guests come into the reception hall.  Ok, one more.  The food table is long and lonely, this bouquet of vases is set up in the middle with glass water tubes holding rose heads scatter over the rest of the table.

You might wonder why so many people (men and women alike) enjoy fresh flowers and now finally scientific evidence shows.  See report on Flowers Make Us Happier by Society of American Florist.  It gives the old saying "Stop and Take Time to Smell the Roses" a whole new meaning.
