The Joy of Small Things

If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.


All that is miniature and small, as little tiny things are 

simply precious. 



I do not take credit for posted images unless stated otherwise. 



Mini Bouquets, can be a creative classy simple and relatively inexpensive touch to any event. Our buyer here at Northside Flower Imports  has always said that Flowers give the appearance of success! So no matter your budget, just a touch of flowers can give your event that WOW factor. Pintreast has become an obsession of mine and the ideas are limitless. Here are a few of my favorites! 


Tea Cups! So precious, I think these would be perfect for a bridal shower
but put the initials of the bride and groom, or the bridal party (would be great bridesmaids gifts!!) 
Music Sheets, tiny bow, and a few stems of spray roses, beautiful! 

Lavender!


Enjoy!

7/25 Ranuculous

Ranunculus asiaticus (Persian Butter Cup)

The symbolism of this bloom rest mainly on its prolific petals. 


Ranunculus are particularly elegant, recalling the contrasting border of featheredge creamware or an antique book with gilt-trimmed pages. Once cut, ranunculus last up to a week, making them the perfect choice for bridal bouquets or centerpieces. These and airy and loose arrangements are easy to arrange, but beautiful to the eye.
(Martha Stewart is a  flower genius)


This sunny bunch of large and small blooms boasts creamy white, muted yellow, pale orange, and mossy green ranunculus; the texture comes from a mix of budded and open blossoms. White garden roses and yellow begonias add volume, while weigela leaves complement the color scheme. The stems, which are nestled in floral foam inside a footed compote, are cut to varying lengths, allowing for a loose symmetry.
