She's sharing helpful floral tips, tricks and ideas to make the mother figures in your life feel extra special this year. Let's get to it!
3-steps to an easy & beautiful bouquet 💐
1. Start with carnations, the traditional staple flower of Mothers day! There are many color varieties and they're very hardy and long lasting.
2. Lilacs are beautiful, fragrant and unique. They symbolize new love as well as love between mother and her child. Great option for a new mama or if purple is a favorite color!
3. Nothing screams SPRING like a beautiful tulip. These are great option to add some vibrancy and fun texture to a bouquet/arrangement (especially Parrot Tulips)! :)
Other considerations
Not a fan of flowers? Succulent or cactus dish gardens are also a great long lasting option as a gift. 🌵💗
To ensure the bouquet or arrangement lasts long, change the water daily and cut the end of the stems every other day!
Although flowers and plants are beautiful, please be mindful of these plants to avoid for curious fur babies in the home.
