in my home. That statement brings to mind a grand home
with flowers in the foyer and blossoms in the boudoir.
That's not exactly what I had in mind. My favorite place
to put a little bouquet is the back of the toilet! More
often than not, they're flowers cut from the garden or
roadside in a mason jar or a coffee cup. Even when I'm
working at a flower shop, or in the wholesale florist,
where there are coolers brimming with every choice of
flowers from orchids and roses to lilies and
snapdragons, my choice leans towards the simple.
As I was learning floral design, from time to time, I'd
give in to temptation and create a flower arrangement
for the house. Every time I walked by it I wondered who
I thought I was kidding!? A Yankee by birth with a
mother who delighted in making everything herself and a
father who built our house and fixed our cars, I felt
like a fraud with formally designed flowers in the
house.
Create Your Own Wedding Flowers. Step-by-step Guide To
Creating Fantastic Wedding Flowers.I was raised with
flowers… In the garden, in the woods, in the fields,
entered in the Agricultural Fair, on wreaths, in coffee
cans, in jelly jars, violets growing in the grass,
Johnny jump-ups volunteering around the barbeque. My
Mother taught me the names of he wild flowers, my Great
Grandfather taught me to plant the rows straight, my
Aunt Nancy taught me to love bachelor's buttons with
calendulas and to cut flowers from the garden and put
them in a sugar bowl in the middle of the table.

working at a roadside farm stand, weeding gardens for
extra cash, and earning a B.S. in ornamental
horticulture, I found myself working in a retail flower
shop, learning the basics of floral design. As the years
passed, I read magazines, attended design shows, took
classes and learned by trying. I have designed weddings,
funerals, parties, proms, birthdays, and anniversaries
and welcomed new babies. Now and then, I browse the
shelter and bridal magazines. I have a great
appreciation for the beautiful design. I adore attending
design shows and watching AIFD accredited designers work
their magic. I ooh and ahh over lush designs in hotel
lobbies and on soap operas and award shows.

occasion. Your Satisfaction at 1-800-Flowers.Still, my
greatest joy from flowers is the flowers themselves,
whatever's in season in the yard or whatever was
freshest at flower shop, loosely arranged in a jar or
drinking glass and set on whatever clear surface I can
find in the house. If that's the back of the toilet,
then all the better! There are dozens of places you can
buy flowers and even more styles of design. You should
choose the ones that bring you joy and display them to
suit your mood and your memories. You'll be glad you
took the time.
