Flower Trends—Creating a Destination with the Help of Flowers
Shelby Shy with Shirley’s Flowers and Gifts in Rogers has some great new suggestions for gift-giving during this economically challenged time period. She suggests that if you aren’t able to go away for the weekend or a vacation, flowers can take you places and help you relive fond memories. Whether it is reminiscing about a Caribbean honeymoon, creating a relaxing spa retreat feel or reliving a wine country getaway, flowers can set the stage for a romantic evening in. Here are some creative suggestions:
Caribbean Honeymoon
~ Tropical flowers, such as Birds of Paradise, antherium, ginger or orchids with an accent of fresh fruit and foliages.
~ A simple collection of orchids in a vase.
~ Add colored sand and seashells in vases to really create the mood.
Spa Weekend
~ Aromatic flowers like freesia and sweet peas sooth the senses.
~ Several small blue and green arrangements placed in the bathroom or bedroom.
~ All white arrangement with sea glass vases or frosted aquamarine accents.
Wine Country Getaway
~ A few beautiful roses or lilies arranged in an empty wine bottle, shared on a past date. Very sentimental.
~ Burgundy flowers with fresh grapes and Brie cheese in a large basket.
~ Sunflowers and grapes.
Remember, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to create a memorable evening. For more creative gift ideas, contact Shirley’s Flowers and Gifts, 479-636-0118.
