Christmas/Chanukah Centerpiece ideas

/5 Comments/in , /by

I know I don’t have to remind you it’s the holiday season. People are running, shopping, cooking, baking, and partying. When you have people over to your home, or, you need a quick gift to bring, you should think flowers. Flowers always make people happy! Here’s an idea I think you will find fun, easy, and different.

Find an inexpensive glass bowl, (try dollar tree) or the back of your cabinets. Get some metallic shred, red, gold, silver, any color will do. Fill the glass bowl generously with the shred, add water, maybe a flashing light (if you have it), then add white flowers. In your standard “rose bowl” you can fill the bowl with 9 roses or 5 large carnations or 1 nice sized hydrangea. Lightly spray with a mist of water, and for pizazz sprinkle lightly with angel dust glitter.  Wrap a ribbon around the neck of the bowl, if you have jingle bells, hang them from the ribbon, and you are done!

With bridesnblooms, 1 box of roses, 13 rose bowls, 1 roll of ribbon, 3 bags of shred, and you have 13 gifts. Total cost $133.00 cost per gift $10.23…..Wow!!!

Have a wonderful and flower filled day!

Thanksgiving Day Centerpiece ideas

/6 Comments/in , /by

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and you’ve probably been thinking about what you will serve, who will you invite, and what will you wear; But, have you given any thought to your centerpiece? As the word infers, it is the “Center Piece” of your table. It is what will set the tone for the table.

Since Thanksgiving falls during Autumn, we naturally think of fall colors. Orange, gold, brown, deep red, deep green flowers are in abundance during this season.

Everyone has seen centerpieces made from pumpkins or cornucopias, but, why not try using some of your crystal? How about a punch bowl sitting on a wall mirror? or, your Trifle bowl, you could layer flowers as you would layer the dessert.

I personally like to use window boxes for Thanksgiving. I have growing plants (succulants) as the main portion of the box, then I add in the layers of fresh flowers. I like to keep with a theme, so, I would place small pumpkins, on skewer sticks, add in deep red roses, orange and gold mums, then finish off the edges by draping fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro. (remember, when creating this type of arrangement you will want to do clusters of same flowers, for effect) always use odd numbers such as 3s and 5s for clustering.

What’s nice about this centerpiece is that the plants will keep growing in the box, until you need to make another centerpiece.  *Consider growing the herbs in the flower box, then you will have them to use all year*

If you buy your roses and mums from bridesnblooms.com you will have plenty to give to your guests as a thank-you for coming gift.

I’m so excited, I can hardly get the words down fast enough, so that you can read all about it. I found the coolest entertainment company. www.biglyles.com. Wow, they have so many amazingly interactive options to choose from, that you may have trouble choosing just the right option for you and your party.
***They specialize in Far Out Photos***Check out that portion of their site 1st.

I love the fact that they have costumes for your guests and great music for the videos that they shoot, and a really cool machine (Canditto) that let’s your guests print out their own digital photos from their own personal cameras, right on site!!!!! (And you get to keep all the pictures that were taken, by all your guests, as they are stored for you until the end of your event).

I wish I had an icon of a little cheerleader girl, because that’s how I feel about this company. Rah, Rah!!

Have a flower filled day, and pass on the good ideas
