Classic Flower Arranging with Tulips

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.
