I love the house being full of flowers, for me it’s one of life’s little indulgences – such a small touch that makes the difference between a house and a home. If I’m honest, I like flowers in every single room from the kitchen to Boo’s bedroom; even a few stems in a jam jar next to my bed are a welcome sight.
My favourite flowers are lilies, roses, peonies, tulips and gladioli and recently I’ve started to really get into flower arranging and experimenting with looks throughout the house. I’ve been increasingly searching the web for florist supplies as it’s a great way – as is the oracle that is Pinterest – to browse different flowers and all the accessories that go with them without looking like a total tool and asking a million and one questions every time I pop into my local florist.
This week’s house blooms are masses of pink oriental lilies in every room, I love the smell that floods the house and Boo loves sitting and trying to blow the pollen – someone please remind me why I attempt an all white house!
As you’ve probably guessed, party planning and flowers are a match made in heaven for me even if it’s tiny artificial flowers woven into bunting for an impromptu tea party, they’re the perfect addition that adds a finishing touch to any occasion.
Put simply I can’t get enough of flowers, I’ll take them anyway I can get them… What’s your favourite bloom?
