I try to treat myself to flowers at least twice a month. Trader Joe’s is my favorite place to shop because the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is high. I spent $25 on three bunches of flowers and then made two floral arrangements.
There are three easy ways to welcome guests into your home. First, place an arrangement in your entry near the front door. The lovely floral scent will welcome your guests as they enter, and the pop of color will immediately get your guests’ attention, making your home an inviting place to be.
Secondly, when I host a gathering, I always try to have a small arrangement in the powder room. Have you ever visited a fancy restaurant (think Le Margot in Fort Worth) and seen fresh flowers near the sink? I immediately feel like I’m in a boutique hotel. Your guests will remember that lovely touch forever.
Lastly, if you have overnight guests, a vase of flowers, or even a single rose with a sprig of rosemary (rosemary represents remembrance), elevates the guest bedroom to a five-star experience.
I’ve got a special treat for you – I have an Easy Flower Arranging class on my YouTube Channel filled with tips and tricks for flower prep, care, and arranging. Click below to watch the video. While you are there, I’d love for you to like it and subscribe to my channel. I plan to add more videos to share my hosting experience.
Happy flower arranging!
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
