Flowering
So (if I may say so) I'm kind of proud of this week's installment of my One-Bouquet-a-Week Challenge. You like? I was inspired by a few arrangements I've been noticing in flower shops around the city that separate parts of their bouquets out by blocks of color or by type of bloom.
What really did it for me with this bunch, though, was the inclusion of button mums. At the last minute, I grouped them together at the base of the bouquet, which I think added some extra personality. And bonus: I had so many left over that they filled up all my bud vases, and are currently cheering up corners of my living space, my bathroom, and the area next to my bed.
(Confession: I believe this challenge is starting to show me that I have a soft spot for button mums. They're so cute n' simple n' perky. And as far as I'm concerned, they can fill my bud vases anytime.)
Have a great weekend, friends. See you on Monday!

this is the perfect bouquet for the start of spring.
i also love button mums. they're so cheerful, the last a long time and they're delightfully inexpensive.
Thanks, Michelle--I feel like I could be surrounded by those little mums forever and be a happy gal...
Great job! Cute bud vases, no doubt, but of course my fave is the showstopper. I love how the broad leaves in the back fan out like a peacock tail, the color groupings, and how the mums are playful filler. Great container too.
I'm so impressed! Your bouquet is so interesting and different--you have a great eye for flowers that work well together. As with everything you touch: LOVE! Happy Friday to you!
Wow Amy! You arranged them in such an artful way! You have really inspired me! I am going out to buy flowers for my dad's retirement brunch that I am hosting tomorrow. I hope they have button mums ;)
Thanks for the love, Kate, Brooke, and Kendall! Back at you.
I love the color palette of this one! Your bouquets just keep getting better & better. And the bud vase groupings are so cute too :)
Great photos M-Dash! they really look pretty and I love the silver container...there must be a 'flower-vibe' going on because I took some 'piccies' today of my birthday flowers...I was thinking I MUST start buying these things weekly to cheer me up!! what do you think???
Christy, thanks so much. That means a lot coming from an actual artist!
