Have Fun With Spring Reminders & Floral Decorations

"High Society" Spring Flowers

Spring is just around the corner. While it may not be here just yet, keeping bouquets of spring flowers in sight serves as a constant reminder that the bloom of flowers and sunshine will be upon us quickly.

The winter months are not especially harsh here in Arkansas, but I always like to keep splashes of color around the house to cancel out the gloomy grays of the snowy and icy days. This can be accomplished in really easy and quick ways. For instance, I keep spring flowers in a vase on my breakfast table. While this may seem almost too simple, the color livens up the room and makes the blandness of my whole grain cereal seem more bearable.

Another great way to spice up your home’s decor is by placing spring flowers in unique vases. A very popular trend is the use of ribbon to turn a blase glass vase into a very attractive piece for displaying beautiful bouquets. See? There are many creative ways to battle the blues and decorate the home using spring flowers.

Piano tops (but not grand pianos), mantlepieces, coffee tables and similar locations are excellent places for small touches of spring. Your local florist will have a selection of colorful flowers from which to choose, but here are some of the spring flower arrangements that I use around my home.

Of course, these are only my suggestions. You can also discuss creative spring bouquets with your local florist who can make additional suggestions on placement, which flowers to include, and including flowers with a particularly happy meaning for additional pep. It’s all about you!
