Mother's day and flowers go hand in hand, don't you think? Since Mother's day is this Sunday, I thought I'd share some great ways to give flowers that have a more personal feel. Not only more personal, and pretty, but then the recipient doesn't have to worry about trimming the stems and finding a vase... it's nice to give a gift where no added work is involved (not that it's much work... but I'm lazy...). Of course, the ideas shown below are also good ideas for birthday presents, saying thank you, congratulations, get well... and many, many more! Check them out -
I love the jar used below. It sort of reminded me of this post we did about reusing food jars as vases. If you can't shop for a cute glass container in your home, you can look at the grocery store, thrift stores, or antique fairs. I really love that label... thats what really makes this look feel unique and authentic.
If you buy a potted plant or flowers, I think this idea of wrapping a cute fabric around the base and tying it off with ribbon is a very cute idea. It definitely helps give it that personal touch.
First can I just say how beautiful I think this picture is? Seriously... I love it. I'm a sucker for all things white, which definitely includes flowers. I love that the variety of flowers don't compete with those amazing tinted glass vases. Those are seriously cool. Here and here show two different methods to do this yourself. You can also paint the inside of vases, just be aware of what kind of paint you use cause it may not be waterproof.
Mason jars. Thats probably all I need to say since I know most everyone has seen this look... a lot. But I still love it. The main reason I love it is because it can be customized in so many different ways. Leaving it bare still looks classic and lets the flowers be the main focal point. But you can wrap it in twine (like whats shown below... which is my current favorite), fabric, ribbon, japanese masking/washi tape, paint, cute labels (like the first photo)... anything you can think of to help dress up the jar.
What do you think of these ideas? Do you have any ideas to share that you've done or seen for ways to give flowers in a personal way?
