How To Beautify The Home With Fresh Flower Arrangements

By admin on May 13, 2013 in , , , ,

Do you want to liven up the indoor space of your home? Flowers By Chris is here to beautify your home with our fresh floral arrangements.

The best flower arrangements for a home are ones that are long lasting and have a professionally polished look to them.

How do you keep flower arrangements fresh and beautiful as possible?

For starters, you must properly water your flowers/ plants. Flowers By Chris recommends filling buckets with water and adding in floral preservative to the water to feed to your flowers/ plants. Ideally the water should be warm so flowers open up fully.

Any cut flowers you may have for your home décor should have the stems cut by an inch to help the fresh cut flowers absorb water faster and better from the stems.

You may even want to purchase foam from Flowers By Chris to help keep your flowers in place the way you want them displayed in your home. Foam will also help the flowers stay hydrated longer.

To reap the utmost benefits of foam for your flowers, have the foam soaked for 15 minutes.

Here are some great indoor flower arrangements you can use to enhance your home décor:

  • Tulips and Pear blossoms for your living room.
  • Roses as dining room center pieces.
  • Orchids for the kitchen or bathrooms.
  • Peonies and Cockscomb for the mudroom.
  • Lilies for the in-home library.
  • Alliums for the vacation home living room. Prefect for a beach setting.

Mother's Day Gift: Amaryllis Plant

It is time to shower your mom with gifts for Mother’s Day. Flowers By Chris is here to help you create unique floral arrangements for mom.

One fabulous Mother’s Day flower arrangement you may want to gift mom this year is a chalkboard flowerpot or two with your mom’s favorite flowers within the flowerpot.

Flowerpots look lovely on decks, windowsills and kitchen counters.

Another great Mother’s Day flower arrangement idea is to gift mom flowers in a gift basket that includes a gift box of her favorite perfume, homemade teas, chocolates or a box of macaroons.

You may want to add in a cute teddy bear or a picture of you together for mom as well.

Mother’s Day Flowers: Creating A Unique Flower Bouquet

By admin on April 29, 2013 in , , , , ,

Mother’s Day is almost here. It is time to plan out a great day for mom and buy her something to make her smile. You can brighten your mother’s special day this year with a variety of Mother’s Day flowers.

Nothing says ‘ I love you Mom,’ better than a unique flower bouquet. The following are Mother’s Day flower arrangement recommendations from Flowers By Chris:

A bouquet of Roses is a wonderful gift for mom because roses can symbolize motherhood. You can mix red roses, pink roses, and yellow roses to create an elegant bouquet of roses your mom would be delighted to have as a flower display.

If your mom is a fan of the color purple, you may want to consider buying flowers such as lilacs and irises.

Lilacs are elegant flowers that can symbolize how your love grows for your mom every year. Add in some irises for extra displays of affection and worth. Irises can be purchased in the colors white and blue as well.

Carnations, tulips, lilies and blooming plants are also popular Mother’s Day floral selections.

The best Mother’s Day flower arrangements are the ones that are kept simple.

Here are ways to keep flower arrangements simple:

  1. Have the flowers arranged in a clear pitcher. The flower blooms will look amazing on a living room side table or bedside table.
  2. Have wildflowers arranged in vases for an elegant floral display.
  3. For dining areas, have the florist arrange flowers such as hydrangeas in a footed bowl and have the bowl surrounded by bud vases to make a beautiful impact on the dining area setting.
  4. Have flowers match the vase or contrast flowers with your vase. One lovely flower- vase contrast you can try this Mother’s Day is the peaches roses with a bright blue vase look.

Baby Shower Flower Arrangements: How To Decorate For A Baby Shower

By admin on April 16, 2013 in , , , , , ,

Dozen Pink Roses Vased

Are you hosting a baby shower for a friend or family member? If yes, Flowers By Chris is here to help you shower the mom to be with gorgeous baby shower flowers.

Baby shower flower arrangements are the perfect complimentary gift to welcoming a new baby to the family. The baby shower flower arrangements should serve as the centerpiece to your baby shower décor.

Since the baby shower flower arrangements will be used as centerpieces, you will need to think carefully about placement and the floral colors you will use.

The baby shower flowers should flow beautifully with your overall baby shower color scheme. Your baby shower flowers should also be proportional.

Where is a good place to arrange your baby shower flowers?

Flowers By Chris highly recommends placing floral arrangements on tables where baby shower guests will seat around. The middle of the table is a traditional area to place complimentary flowers.

Never should your baby shower flowers be too tall or too full. This will make it difficult for baby shower guests to see one another during social hour and gifting.

Why are flower arrangements perfect for baby showers?

Flower arrangements can add elegance to a special event. Baby shower flowers are also very symbolic for the beautiful development/ growth of new life.

In fact, a creative way you can incorporate flower arrangements into a baby shower is to give away flowers and plants as mementos for all your baby shower guests.

This memento can serve as a symbolic welcome to the newborn.

There’s nothing more wonderful to celebrate than the impending arrival of a newborn to the family.

Flowers By Chris is here to make your upcoming baby shower a event you will soon not forget.

When should baby showers happen?

If she is a first-time mom, most prefer to hold baby showers at the last month of pregnancy to build up excitement about the arrival of the baby.

If she is a seasoned mother (baby number two or more), it is okay to have the baby shower before or after the birth of the baby. Seasoned moms prefer this because she can receive the gifts she needs based on the gender of her baby.

For baby showers before the birth of the baby, host the baby shower four to eight weeks in advance of the due day.

For after birth baby shower hosting, plan the baby shower four to six weeks after.

You may even want to setup a registry for the mom to be so baby shower guests know a little about her ideal gift needs and wants.

Front Yard Landscaping Designs: Creating A Floral Garden

By admin on April 8, 2013 in , , , , ,

The weather is too beautiful to miss out on this spring. There’s no better way to truly enjoy the beautiful weather than creating a unique garden in your front yard. Flowers By Chris is here to help you design an amazing front yard landscape with essential landscaping design ideas.

A delightful front yard planting environment begins with an effective planting scheme.

When designing a garden, your planting scheme should feature a list of colors, plants, layouts, and accents you desire your front yard planting to include.

The planting scheme should have at least one central theme that connects the front yard planting altogether.

To give your front yard planting plenty diversity, Flowers By Chris highly recommends purchasing plants, trees, and shrubs to place in close proximity to the home. The plants should be very short/ small the closer they are to the home.

We also recommend that the front yard-planting environment features annuals and perennials so there are always flowers blooming year round.

Annual flowers:

  • Petunias
  • Impatiens
  • Pansies

Perennials:

  • Coneflowers
  • Black Eyed Susans
  • Daisies
  • Day Lilies

Reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, greens and purple flowers look splendid all year round.

Flowers help make your front yard more welcoming because flowers are bold, bright and increase the liveliness of homes no matter the size.

Flowers look great along the sides of the homes, pathways and more. Garden containers work well if you are looking to pot a handful of flowers behind a front yard fence.

If you want to make your front yard look more elegant, you can feature perpendicular planting, especially around an average looking driveway.

Take a look at Flowers By Chris’ front yard floral arrangements for more information.

We recommend roses, lilies and carnations be incorporated in this floral arrangement to give your dining room table an exceptional look.

Spring is the perfect time to get started on your Outdoor spa landscaping because the purpose of an outdoor spa is to expand the space you have to enjoy your outdoor living space.
