Decorating with Flowers – Tips and Inspiration
On Valentine’s Day, we can’t help but think of flowers! Well, and chocolate, of course. My husband had this lovely bouquet of roses delivered yesterday and I am loving the way they have brightened up the kitchen! By now, he knows how much I love decorating with flowers!
During these dreary winter months, it’s always so nice to have some color to add to your home. At this point, the Christmas decor is away (let’s hope that’s true for everyone!) and if you are like me, you have gone through a beginning of the year clear out of your home. In my home, decorating with flowers can really liven things up!
Today, I gathered up a bunch of flower-oriented posts I have written over the years to give you some decorating and gardening inspiration.
After all, spring is right around the corner. Hooray!
Decorating with Tulips:
Even though I love decorating with roses, I think I use tulips in my decor even more…

Decorating with Blue and White…and Sunflowers:
I love using cheerful colors in my home so a couple years ago, I pulled out all my blue and white porcelain and added some sunflowers…

Decorating with Colorful Grocery Store Flowers:
On my mantel, I like using fresh flowers but I haven’t done that in awhile. Since writing this blog post, we’ve updated our fireplace so I really should think about how to decorate the new one…
Landscaping Flowers:
Now let’s take it outside but don’t be fooled into thinking I have a green thumb. Unfortunately, I’m a total disaster with keeping things alive…yet sometimes I do get lucky…
Honestly, I can’t take all the credit for keeping the outdoor flowers alive. We do have an irrigation system and a landscaper who shows up every couple months…

Garden Tours:
Since, I’m always looking for inspiration, last summer I spent a day touring gardens in the charming seaside town of Spring Lake, New Jersey. What a beautiful tour filled with tons of ideas!…

Flowers in the Islands:
And I will end with a post I wrote a long time ago where I shared some beautiful flowers in the Caribbean. I think it’s time for a vacation…

Everything looks beautiful!! I have a question. Do you have any tips for preventing your tulips from drooping? Have a wonderful Valentine's day, Shelley!!
Thank you!! Someone once told me to put a penny in the water. I tried it after that and I think it helped…Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
Very pretty Shelley. Happy Valentine's Day!!
Lovely flowers! Flowers are always on my mind!
Shelley, this is so gorgeous!! Just can't wait to get out there!
Come on spring! It's supposed to be in the 70s here the next two days! Your flowers are gorgeous.
I buy flowers often at the grocery store. I don’t have a good flower shop nearby either in Florida or Ohio. I love the way tulips look, but I don’t like how they “grow” and don’t stay how I arrange them!
I’ve been pretty lucky with the grocery store selections. Yes, I know what you mean about the tulips…at least they look good for a few days!
I love decorating with flowers, you gave me some ideas on how to change things up. Love each and every style you shared. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thanks so much, Terrie! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
