Holiday Flower Arranging

Bunny Williams

 

Looking for inspiration for floral arrangements for the holidays? Here are two great ideas with flowers easily found at the grocery store - white lilies and red roses.

White oriental lilies are a wonderful choice for holiday floral arrangements. They are readily available and are a very long lasting cut flower. Their fragrance and elegance makes them ideal. Did you know that lilies have been cultivated for 3,000 years, longer than any other ornamental flower?

This is such a simple idea, but so pretty. Fill a blue and white ginger jar with blue hydrangeas. Speaking of hydrangeas, have you seen this new one called Strawberry Sundae?

I am a bit south for it, but I think it would be fine in the right spot. Such a beauty! Imagine a huge blue and white ginger jar filled with these.

For flower arranging, I love roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and Oriental lilies. I really dislike mixed bouquets. I almost always use blue and white Chinese porcelain with the exception of my two Kate Spade Cloverdale vases that are great favorites.

Do you recall when Lonny magazine featured the bedroom of Lonny founder Michelle Adams with the Cloverdale vase on her bedside table? It was long discontinued at the time, and bloggers went nuts trying to find one or create a DIY. I was fortunate to find one on eBay and the other at HomeGoods.
