Oldie but a Goodie Idea for Table Flowers

This is not new.


Using several jars or bottles filled with a flower or flowers is as old as your nana. But you can make it totally your own. It always works providing you follow a few basics.

Here the layout is random but holds together because of similar bottles and similar coloured blooms.







This little group works because the jars , though old and mismatching, are all similar in height and are plain glass. The sprigs are similar too. Save your old and pretty jars for long outside table displays or even an outside wedding.

Sit the jars on a row of coloured fabric or in this case tiles. The colour should be in the arrangement somewhere or complementary  [opposite ] to it on the colour wheel. These were the only flowers in the garden, spirea and periwinkle.
At night you can alternate the containers of flowers  and leaves with candles.


For a change, hang the bottles from a branch indoors or outside. These are really Christmassy and could be cut down at the end of the evening and given to the guests. Any party with a theme, for e.g. birthday,  wedding and so on would be brightened up with these little beauties or similar. Name tag them for a personal touch.
Great Idea: Buy one bunch of flowers and split them between many bottles, one bloom in each.

Psalm 7 I'm thanking God, who makes things right. I'm singing the fame of heaven - high God. The Message.
