Classic Flower Arranging with Tulips
The weather has turned here in Nashville and the beautiful winter snow is gone. We rarely get snow, so it was a special treat for us!
I know it'll get chilly again soon, but I'm enjoying this spring-like weather while I can. Being in the spirit, I picked up some white tulips at the grocery store the other day. I love watching Willow Crossley — arranging her delicate florals, and I figured I'd enjoy taking some time to follow suit.
I linked a thirty second video below in case you're interested in watching!

Taking advantage of the morning light in our kitchen, I put these gorgeous flowers in a pedestal hurricane, adhering clear tape across the vase to hold the stems in place. I used a new technique I recently learned to invert some of the tulip petals — it gave them a totally new look. I think they turned out beautifully!
It also occurred to me that this could possibly be an ultra chic, simple centerpiece for a spring wedding. I can't wait to have my very own wildflower garden this Spring (!!) I'm planning to start sowing my seeds this weekend and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll take off. I just ordered a tall fluted vase last night in anticipation, and I'm so excited for it to arrive!
In just a few short weeks, I hope to be filling it with all the pretty spring flowers.
