The Perfect Home For The Beauties
Summer is fun and unpredictable. Absorb these adjectives for a moment. Think about flea market outdated vases and beautifully woven baskets. Think of pure innocent beauty. Think about simplicity. Think effortless. Spend some time shopping on garage sales and flea markets. There, you will find pieces that are really unique and inexpensive. Choose containers, pots, vases and baskets that just screams summer all over.
Tip # 1: Look for intricate designs if you want to portray an old world feel. There are vases that have ancient moldings and carvings on them. Try those.
Tip # 2: You can use ceramic jars for a classier feel. Quite often, ceramic jars have an interesting pattern or a native story engraved on them. Pick those if you want a hint of history in your home.

GET TO IT HONEY
It is time to start your summer floral arrangement. The first thing to do is to lay your vase, pot, basket or container unto a clean and firm surface where you can easily and freely work.
Tip: Put a separate container inside your basket to avoid water spill.
Put a fair amount of water inside your container. Let it not exceed half its actual height. Next is to put in a tbsp. measure of flower food. This will help you keep your flowers pretty and healthy for a longer period of time.
Tip: Change the water everyday so your flowers will last longer. Also, cut a half inch measure off their stems every day. This will keep them looking young and fresh longer.
Place leaves on the base part of your summer floral design. Next are your flowers. Cut them so their heights would vary. Be creative. Experiment a little. Just remember to work from the ground going up.
Tip: Place sweet peas for an added fragrance to your summer floral arrangement.
