Let me tell you why I adore coming up with Summer Floral Arrangement Ideas. It’s like entering a world of colors, fragrances, and creativity!
First, summer is when nature is at its most magnificent. It’s impossible not to be inspired by the sheer beauty surrounding us.
The world around us bursts into bloom with gorgeous flowers of all shapes and sizes.
From the cheerful sunflowers to the delicate roses, there’s an endless variety of blooms, each with a unique charm.
Creating floral arrangements allows me to channel my inner artist. I play with different colors, textures, and heights to compose a visual masterpiece.
It’s like painting with living elements! I love experimenting with various combinations, mixing and matching flowers and foliage, and adding unexpected elements like feathers or seashells.
The possibilities are truly endless, and that’s what makes it so exciting.
Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 121
Hey friends!
Let me let you in on a little secret about summer.
First things first, there’s something incredibly magical about the summer season. The sun shines bright, the days are longer, and everything feels alive and vibrant.
Next, the weather is off the charts. The sun is blazing, and the days are long, giving you all the time to soak up those sweet rays.
The possibilities are endless. The next best thing that combines with the perfect season is floral arrangements!
When it comes to creating summer floral arrangements, it’s my jam!
I love playing around with different types of flowers, mixing and matching their hues and textures to create something truly unique and breathtaking.
What do you love about summer?
Personal Note from Janine
Every weekend, my hubby and I turn into crazy gardeners. We’re all about taking care of our flowers by trimming, planting, and giving ’em plenty of water.
I gotta say, over the years, I’ve learned to be patient, and after a long 13 years, our plants and backyard have become our little slice of paradise.
So get this, last year, we went all out with a massive patio makeover. My husband went a bit overboard and pruned the hydrangeas. So, the first year after he pruned, we didn’t get any blossoms! But guess what? This spring and summer, are plants are lovin’ life, and we’ve got flowers everywhere ready to bloom!
I can’t contain my excitement for these beautiful flowers. What’s remarkable about hydrangeas is their ability to maintain their blossoms throughout the entire summer. It’s not a fleeting display; they continue to enchant us with their vibrant colors.
If your climate permits, I highly recommend planting hydrangeas and roses. Embrace the joy of a summer of beautiful flowers!
Ok, off to the garden today!
Cheers,
