For those of you who love fresh flowers in your home but aren't sure what to do - maybe you're on a budget or just want something simple - here's my tip! Buy tulips! They are in season almost all spring & relatively inexpensive. They come in a wide variety of colors & textures and you should be able to buy them by the bunch (1 bunch of tulips = 10 flowers) at your local florist* (or even your local grocer).
Here's why I love them: They design themselves! I wish I would have snapped a photo of this arrangement when I first put the tulips this pitcher. All of the tulips were standing straight up at attention. But as they "settled in" they began to move and create a beautiful organic arrangement. So simple but they to make a statement. Now it's your turn to give it a try! One last tip - cut the tulips at different heights so they have a little depth to begin with.
These photos were taken 2 days apart.
*If you are looking for a specific color, height or look talk to your local florist - they should be able to find you what you need within a week or less.
