Mix It Up This Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is almost here! Time to make last minute preparations and create beautiful gifts that mom would love!! Stop in for your supplies and create something uniquely “you” for your mom this year!
Flowers
Carnations and roses are the flowers most commonly found in Mother’s Day arrangements. Why not change that up by creating arrangements with orchids, succulents, and anemones? Succulents, especially, make great additions to bouquets because the lucky moms receiving them will have an easy to care for plant to hold on to! Even just adding these flowers in with the more traditional flowers can give designs a fresh new look.
Containers
Sometimes all an arrangement needs to give it a modern feel is an updated container! Metallics and mercury glass are very popular right now. You could also create arrangements in containers that the mom will be able to use later on. Ceramic mixing bowls, decorative pitchers, or a fun candy dish are all great ideas. To add a new twist to an arrangement, use wire baskets instead of the usual wicker ones. Creating hand-tied bouquets is also a great idea that mom would love!
Fairy Gardens, Dish Gardens or Hanging Gardens(aka Hanging Baskets)
If your mom is the type who loves playing in the dirt– the greenhouse will be fully stocked with blooming annuals, perennials, succulents and indoor houseplants. Pick out the plants a container and maybe some garden art and let her put it all together –or better yet plan an afternoon when the family can all work on it together!
Extras
The extras can make a huge difference when it comes to an arrangement. Try matching your flowers to a brightly colored ribbon in a plaid. Wrap some lace around a vase for added dimension or shape brightly colored wires in accent colors to place with the flowers. The extras are fun elements that can be used to represent your mother’s personality.
If the DIY approach does not work for you this year —stop in and let our friendly staff help create the perfect floral arrangement, hanging garden, indoor dish garden, or fairy garden for your mom!
