Fussing With My Florals

Usually when the seasons change, I like to change out my floral arrangements.  I am due for a new one for my dining room table, and as I had these two pots that my daughter had given me for Mother’s Day, I decided to use them.

I went to Michaels and bought duplicates of each floral stem, as well as different sizes.

 

Some moss to cover the styrofoam bases.

I approached this project one pot at a time and, after cutting the styrofoam to fit inside one of the pots, I started adding florals.   I realized something as I thought I was done.  I never buy enough to make a really full arrangement!  All the florals I bought for two arrangements were good for one!  

So I started to add the second grouping of florals to the pot that I was working on.  And I have to say that I liked it better! 

I think that from now on, when I am buying florals to put together my own arrangement, I will get what I think I need, then go back down the aisle and get another handful.   This will give me the fuller arrangements that are not only what I like, but that look better.  No wonder I am always fussing with my florals!

So if you find that you are not happy with the arrangements you put together yourself, maybe you just need to put a few more floral stems in.  Maybe you are short-changing your arrangements like I was.  Give it a try and see if you change your mind.
