With the Chelsea Flower Show underway and the saying ‘April’s showers bring May’s flowers’ ringing true, we thought we’d share with you our favourite, easy at-home flower arrangements. Perfect to be given as an original gift or arranged solely for your own enjoyment! We’ve even put together a list of the six most popular flowers and their symbolism, so that you can pick a bunch to arrange with more meaning this May!
Popular Flower Meanings
- Daffodils – New Beginnings
- Ranunculus – Radiance and Charm
- Lily – Peace and Purity
- Carnation – Distinction
- Tulips – Love
- Peony – Happy Life
Glass Bowl Arrangement
Contemporary and minimalistic, arranging flowers in a glass bowl can create a sophisticated and elegant setting. Fill with Peonies to get the best effect combined with the bowl’s sphere shape!
Tea Pot Arrangement
Choosing to arrange a bunch of flowers in a Tea Pot is an unique take on a traditional vase – and can prevent it from gathering anymore dust! Perfectly placed in the kitchen area, this arrangement style looks great when combined with flowers bright in colour and is simple to do.
Glass Jar Arrangement
A glass jar arrangement is an ideal addition to a bedside or coffee table. Team it with your favourite books or even photo frame and you will have a charming centrepiece to display your personality and memories to guests! We love the appearance of white tulips in a neutral setting for a peaceful ambience.
Bucket Arrangement
Placing a bunch of flowers in a bucket is a great way to compliment shabby-chic décor. Although we love the bunch pictured below, we also think a selection of shades of tulips would be an attractive alternative!
Watering Can Arrangement
Similar to the bucket vase, but still super aesthetic – a watering can arrangement can add extra vintage essence to any household room, or even garden. We love the idea of using a flower watering can as garden party or barbeque décor to create a fun and unconventional setting!
Pineapple Vase Arrangement
Not for the lovers of tradition, using the outer layer of a pineapple as a modern vase substitute can be a quirky alternative – and great talking point! Fill with carnations and create a fun centrepiece.
