It felt so amazing to make a special floral arrangement for my mom, to celebrate Mother’s Day. It was a gift for me to even have my hands on fresh flowers during quarantine! It has been a while! I swooped up some of her all-time favorite flowers: Lilacs, Roses and Dusty Miller.
It was totally quiet at home when my Friday was coming to a close. I opened the shutters and the window all the way, so there was a nice breeze whispering through, and the only the light coming into the room was from the sun starting the set. I was at peace. At the same time, I was super excited to finally get my hands on the extra flowers I swooped up, to arrange just for fun, and just for me.
Details and a little story about the wildflowers used to make a ‘summertime-backyard’ inspired arrangement.
Today is Nonna’s 76th birthday! What a treasure! I’m looking back on the fun we had with the gardenia flower crown I made this spring.
Bursting with color and natural beauty, all of the colors of the rainbow are here in the two birthday bouquet arrangements I designed – one for delivery in San Marcos and one as an early birthday gift to myself.
