It’s FARMHOUSE FRIDAY!!
Woot woot!!
Once a month I join forces with some friends of mine and we share ways to put a little farmhouse into your home. (Be sure to make it to the end of this post to see what my friends are sharing).
Today we are talking about farmhouse florals, specifically.
However, I am going to be 100% honest with you right now.
I don’t usually decorate with fresh flowers. Sigh.
The reason being – I have a hard time justifying using our grocery money to buy fresh flowers, aaaaaaand – I super stink at growing fresh flowers.
But I decided to jump feet first into this challenge and see how I could add some fresh flowers to my home decor and do it as inexpensively as I could. I’m so excited to share my discoveries with you!
I took about $30.00 and bought myself a variety of floral arrangements from Walmart and Trader Joes. What I discovered is that you can break up those pre-arranged floral bouquets, maximize their impact and make the most of your floral arrangements.
I also discovered how much I enjoy fresh flowers around my house (especially in the dead of winter), and I want you to enjoy them too!
Follow my 7 tips to make the most of your floral arrangements!
Tip #1: The Power of Thirds
The rule of thirds applies to flowers as well!
Pull 3 of the same flowers and group them in 3 of the same vases, and you’ll have 3 times the charm.
If you’ve bought a bouquet, just remove 3 flowers that are the same and try this method.
Cami, those pink daisies are gorgeous! Love how you have them displayed in the big glass jugs. BTW, I always shop the clearance flowers at my grocery store ($1 a bunch), so I don’t feel bad about spending money on flowers 🙂 Otherwise I’d probably be flowerless around here!
Oh, I love those gerbera daisy stems in the big jugs. So simple and so stunning!
Simply stunning and stunningly simple. Just the most gorgeous arrangement! I am so inspired!
I love all your pretty photos Cami!

Really, I have liked your 7 Tips. Because, I had a plan for floral arrangements but that is not liked to my wife. But my wife saw me your arrangement which is better to my plan. Then I change my decision.
LOVE this! It is really adorable and easy the simple three flowers are here. Thank you for sharing!
Very inspiring tips here! I especially love the idea of using an antique vase to add a unique spin on your flower arrangement. So pretty!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming by!
I like your idea to use 3 flowers in 3 vases as part of a design. Maybe you could even find a florist to make an arrangement based on threes if you’re decorating for something special. Three is an important number in design because it’s easy for our eyes to interpret organizations of threes.
Very Nice Article,
Thanks for sharing the tips to make the floral arrangements. I liked your creative idea of beautiful floral arrangements. I enjoyed a lot reading your article. Fresh flowers are perfect for home decorations. I have visited a website named Whole Blossoms which delivers fresh cut flowers at the best price.
Thanks for sharing the power of thirds! Your tips are practical and affordable. I just love flowers!

It looks really beautifiul…nice article!!!
I like that you got creative and used old bottles and a milk crate to display your flowers. I hope I can get the same amount of creativity to match the number of flowers I have in my home. We will need a florist just in case the amount of floral plants in our house becomes unbearable. http://www.authenticfloraldesign.com
