It is no secret that I like planted flowers indoors - I love that they are seasonal, last longer than cut flowers and are usually much less expensive. Do you know how much it would have cost me to make a floral arrangement to fill this pewter bowl- especially if I had it done at a floral shop. Hundreds. Hundreds! For $12 I made this very sweet and seasonal centerpiece that would great for Mother's Day... or any other occasion like a Tuesday?
Use potting soil to fill the container. After a couple of days the flowers should be transferred to a pot, as this bowl doesn't have any drainage. It will work great for about 5-7 days, though.
Start by placing the flowers around the perimeter of the bowl, then fill in with soil. Pack them in tight for a full effect.
Use moss to cover any exposed dirt... not a lovely sight on the dining table.
Lovely
Beautiful! I always love reading your posts! I will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, much more cost effective and just as gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jenny! I might have to give that a try!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the contrast the simple pansies with the shine of the silver.
ReplyDeleteJenny, Pretty arrangement. Can I ask you again the pattern of your wine glasses. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Billie- it is a pattern from Williams Sonoma that they no longer carry... Unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And when you finish with them in the dining room, you can put them outside to grow for a little while longer. I love them in the pots on my deck. And you are sooo right about the cost of flowers for arrangements. Live plants are a MUCH better way to go.
