As you prepare your cottage gardens for springtime buds, find new ways to incorporate the impressive shades and precious petals of seasonal florals into your home. Whether hosting a gracious outdoor party or composing a verdant masterpiece for onlookers, here are some of our favorite inspirations.
Rainbow Reality
Friends gather around a table boasting the arrival of the season’s best blooms. Brilliant green goblets complement dinnerware rimmed in a vibrant floral design while mini bud vases holding small stems gleam in the mild sunshine. Framed by coral and violet tulips, a woven vessel holds a centerpiece of freshly picked blossoms embedded in moss.
Box of Bliss
Combine bright flowers and cascading greens in a window box to delight passersby and enhance curb appeal. A selection of playful morning glory and other purple blossoms catch the eye, with pops of yellow and white to provide contrast. Add depth by choosing plants with varying heights and select a high-quality soil to ensure your creation lasts all season long.
Sensational & Stylish
Construct an effortless arrangement with the guidance of a tulipiere. This elegant vessel brings interesting structure and height to any spring tabletop. Place one tulip through each opening in the vase and add a selection of wildflowers to the top, crafting an easy centerpiece. Paired with a pansy-printed tablecloth, this setting is full of seasonal touches.
Welcoming Wonder
Greet guests with a basketful of your prettiest posies. A bouquet of your favorite florals serves as the perfect door decoration. We love this pink-and-white palette of tulips, snapdragons, gerbera daisies. Completed with a fuchsia bow, this sight will bring smiles to all who pass by.
Cultivated Presence
After tending to your garden for the afternoon, snip a few stems to appreciate inside your home. Yellow spray roses stand tall in this hinged vase, accentuated by tall greenery. Goldenrod sprigs peek out of iridescent pink vases, a beautiful sight grouped together or spread throughout your space to perfume all around.
Sunny Outlook
A symphony of yellow plays out on this sunlit alfresco setting. Sweet gerbera daisies and cheerful marigolds arranged in rich green vases shine bright atop this neutral table. Golden hobnail glasses mimic the vivid hue of the florals and complete the overall look. Sip on a nice cup of iced tea and enjoy the warm embrace of nature.
