Simple Flowers for a Modern Space

Many people may think that flowers are "out of style" .... or "traditional".... but we say NO!
If you use the RIGHT flowers in the correct way, you can accomplish things accessories just can't. 

Here are some of our favorite foliage for a contemporary setting, and HOW to use them correctly!

Craspedia:
This little bud is not only adorable button add just the right about of color in a small vase, or series of vases.


Cotton:
Yep, we aren't kidding! This "flower" provides texture without distracting with color. Bundle several sticks together for a full, space-taking-up pop!

Protea:
We love this huge flower. On a floor, or in a giant vase, it screams "HELLO" in a beautiful way.

Thistle:
We recently used this floral as a styling device that stood out as unique, and NEW. Place in a bowl or bunch together in a vase.

Olive:
Simple and classic. These are minimal buds and we love the simplistic look they give off. Clear glass vases are the best way to get your money's worth on this guy.

Split-leaf philodendron:
Yes, that's a tongue twister -- but well worth it. One or two of these leaves will leave you happy and excited to view a floral any day.

Allium:
Similar to the first flower, we love this for it's round, simplistic shape and color. But the large bud this time makes for an extra special surprise!

"Fall" on your Table...


 What a beautiful sight in my front yard!

Fall is definitely my favorite time of year
and Mother Nature certainly shows her good side.


 After the leaves have fallen, use her leftovers for the focal point of your table.

Here are simple, elegant ideas for any time of the year:

1. Clear vases, sticks, wire and a few leaves... easy, yet stunning!
Thank you Rachel Ray:)

2. Flowers out of tissue paper and glued to the branches...
Great project for the kids!


3. Love this for an outdoor patio


4. This may be my favorite!  Spray painted branches with sweet birds!


5. And thank you to West Elm for showcasing metallics ...
super for monochromatic color schemes.



Which is your favorite?


Until next time,
Traci
