Small Bouquets of Flowers

Since it’s almost May, I feel that this floral DIY is the perfect post for this special occasion. Don’t you think that mothers and flowers go hand in hand?

Yes, I love flowers, and making small bouquets is fun and straightforward.

Have you seen the little flower arrangements at Whole Foods grocery stores? I think they sell for like $25. I understand if you don’t have time to design one, but I’m here to tell you that you can make a few to give away or place around your home with a little bit of effort.

And if you’re tired of gifting chocolates, why not give a cute and pretty bouquet. Most everyone loves flowers, and you can provide this petite bouquet without breaking the bank.

A Few Floral Tips

  • Don’t stress about the flowers. Use whatever you can find in the stores.
  • Choose your colors before buying flowers. Match your flowers with the occasion, home decor, or recipients’ favorite colors. Here are a few nice color combinations, pink and orange, green and white, yellow and purple, and multi-colors

  • Trim off old flower petals.
  • Trim stems on the diagonal and remove any excess leaves. This allows for good water uptake, and all the energy goes into the blossom.
  • If you can, add a flower that has a beautiful scent. Fragrance lifts the spirits in a way that is so positive!

Here are the flowers that I used.
