With the cold winter months behind us, we set our sites on a clean new look. We want to bring the warmth and freshness of spring into our homes. With me as your guide, I will give you a whirlwind tour into the wonderful world of dried flower and natural product use of popular choices in lasting arrangements for our homes & offices. A warm welcome to my home starts at the front door. Picture the aromatic eucalyptus wreath with all its tri-colored leaves, accented with the burgundy long stem parchment Hydrangea (just the flower part) in 3s. Place them along the lower right side of the wreath, using glue or wire to attach them there. Scatter a few star cone flowers (just the heads) in burgundy, amid the eucalyptus wreath . Finish with gathered-up strands of natural colored raffia for a bow, leaving the ends curling & hanging down. For extra interest you could glue a few of the star cone flower heads to the raffia. Now you have a perfect, beautiful wreath that invites and welcomes guest into your home.
Stepping inside to the foyer, their stands a photo table in need of a new touch. How about placing some of the single eucalyptus stems in red among the photos being displayed? Sprinkle a few English preserved leaves in burgundy, along with a few parchment burgundy petals among the eucalyptus leaves. Do the photos appear to take on a new and happier look? You bet.
Continuing on thru our home, we find ourselves standing at the dining room table. Have a seat and let your eyes devour a tasty treat. I’m using again the eucalyptus multi-colored wreath as the base for my centerpiece. I’ve added some celosia heads in merlot poking out in different directions in and around the wreath. Place one or two burgundy hydrangea blooms in the center of the arrangement. Perfect height and scent for your dining pleasure. You could even add a few candles for a bit of romantic ambiance.
You say you are ready for some real food?? Let us see what’s cooking in the kitchen. I see a gallon glass jar filled with burgundy peppermint leaves and stems, with some of it being extended out of the jar, adding a few long stem star cone flowers in Bordeaux , along with twisted ting ting in bordeaux. If you feel the need of more variety, add several banksias in, yes, bordeaux. Can’t you just smell the aroma? Wrap several strands of natural raffia around the lip of the jar, tie into a bow. For extra interest glue a couple of star cones to the center of the bow.
