“I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Flowers and attached notes of BTS boys
Genre: Fluff, angst(?), descriptions of hardships and arguments between Tae and Reader but ending is hopeful
CW: Nothing
A/N: Who would have known my fall back into flower language would align with me doing my first prompt challenge thing. I used a bunch of them, so they will be highlighted in the notes.
Giving credit to @writinginstardust for their huge brain🫡‼️‼️ 🫶🫶
Tumblr media
Jungkook: sunflowers, yellow tulips, red tulips
“For my sweetest pookie.
I can’t write much on this card because the company gave me a word limit. Poor me. Can you feel my pout through this? I wanted to tell you that I dreamt about you last night. I saw it so clearly. It was late at night and we were stargazing outside. Bam was sprawled out on our laps like the lazy kid he is while you talked to me about your day, childhood, and everything. I don’t remember which story you were on but I remember you smiling at the end. God, I told you how much I love your smile right? I want to see it again soon. Seeing your blinding smile, I rush back into the house to fish for this bouquet. When I gave you the flowers, you rolled your pretty eyes. Still, you gave me the warmest smile I’d ever seen. It felt like deja vu.
- From Jungkook”
Yoongi: tarragon, daisies, morning glory, gardenia
“Hello dear.
I’ve missed you. Last night I woke up in an insomniac haze. For a second I thought that I was home. I saw you standing in the shadows gazing into me. I came to you and you held me while I clung to you. You smelt like vanilla and lavender. You smelt like home. Then reality hit me like a brick. Genuinely. Once my vision cleared I had a thumping migraine between my eyes and a stiff-as-shit neck. You always did tell me not to fall asleep in my studio chair. I spent the next hour lying in the dark on my studio couch like a wounded orphan. I wish I had told you. I should have told you. I would have been less alone. Less in pain. I don’t think I’m cut out for this job, I swear.
I can see you rolling your eyes, but I mean it this time. I’m coming home tomorrow. Finally, I can’t wait. - Yoongi”
V: Saliva (Red, blue, purple), Red carnation, baby’s breath
“Hi, clover.
You miss me?
I miss you. I’ve been thinking about you all day. I feel dreary. I’m working on a small ceramic mushroom…It’s not going well, It’s too lopsided. The sky is covered in a light gray fog. I hear the rain splash against the windows while Yeontan barks. We were supposed to see each other but I’m all alone now. Are you still upset? I was harsh. I felt the fearful pain of you leaving me, so I was determined to hurt you back. To make you feel what I felt so strongly. However, when I went back to lick my wounds, memories of our bliss came back stronger. Every touch. Every kiss. Every midnight walk we had when we both couldn’t sleep. The mornings waking up together. I was a fool. I always am, but more so in these moments.
When I see you again, can I hold your hand? I miss your warmth. And you - Your Alien”
Jin: red roses, pink roses, white roses
“Did you know my mother adores you?
Yeah, you’re all she ever talks about. “Oh, they’re so sweet.”
“Have you no manners? You see them looking so beautiful and you don’t say anything?”
“Yah, Seokjin how’s my favorite child doing?” Then when I tell her I’m fine, she goes “Quit joking, you know who I’m talking about.” How upsetting! I’m her actual son, but compared to you I’m chopped liver! Still, I can’t blame her. I’m the same way. I missed you during enlistment. I also missed the boys. Though not as much when compared to you. I see them 360 days out of the year. They’re staples in my life, but you…you’re my world.
My private heaven. My home. And I’ve been away from my home far too long. I intend to fix that. Get ready!
- From, Kim Seokjin ♥️”
Namjoon: Magnolia, cactus, succulents, aloe
“If the devil were to ever see you, he’d kiss your eyes and repent.” - Farouq Jwaydeh
Good morning, my Divine. I hope your day is going well. Mine could be better. It’s not bad, but not great. Just a day. I’m in a rut. I went to the studio and tried to write but my slack brain didn’t want to. Instead, it wants to focus on you. Where is my love? Have they finished the book I gave them? Have they thought about me today? As I think about them every day? How often do they think of me? I could close my eyes and still envision them perfectly. It’s wrapped itself in roses and lilies and recites love poems and scenarios. It’s excruciating shit. So, I’ll give it and myself an outlet. For starters, do you know how beautiful you are? It’s truly distracting. You’ve left me so lovesick that I’m borderline diseased. My waking hours are anguishing. My feet feel heavy and my head spins. My third rib begs for its return to my body so that my heart can be caged away once again. I know this is a lot to take in. I want to talk about it more with you when I’m less of a shell of a man. I won’t resent you if you don’t reciprocate. I’ll be pained, but I’ll come back to you. If do you reciprocate…Either way, say you want me, and I’m yours. - Kim Namjoon”
J-hope: honeysuckle, forget me nots, chrysanthemum (red)
“Hellooooooo. I hope your day has been as lovely as you are, honey. By the way, what kind of jewelry do you like best? I can’t pick. Gold makes you look stunningly regal but Silver shows the depth of your skin and eyes. This bouquet and the jewelry were both supposed to be same-day gifts, but the company never gave me any damn updates! How unfair is that! So now, these gifts have been forced apart. It’s so cruel. 🥲
I know I could call you about this instead, but it’s too different. I’ve been gone too long. I said I needed a refresh. A moment to connect back to what I want in life. Well, I have! The sky is so clear. The sun is shining. The forecast said there would be nice weather. They were absolutely right. My feet feel lighter. So does my heart. The cloud that hung over me has gone and I’ve stepped out of the box that’s kept me trapped. I’m ready to take my first step, but I want you there with me.
Tell me what you want.
Of the jewelry, I mean. I can’t afford to spend the whole day shopping! I love you. - Jung Hoseok”
Jimin: white jasmine, hibiscus, daffodils, white camellia
“Hello Darling ♥️.
I just realized how much I love you.
Well, not just realized, but I still needed to remind you. It sounds corny, but I’m very sincere. Besides, there’s no occasion for when you should declare your love right? Sure, there are preferred moments, but what’s wrong with keeping love fresh and exciting? Shouldn’t you want your lover to voice their love for you every day?
No, but honestly, It’s crazy, really. No one’s ever made me feel like this.
I’ve dreamt about this for as long as can remember, but only now have I found it. The person who I thought of every second of every day. The person who colored my dreams at night. The one I envisioned whenever I sang love songs. The one who I searched high and low for without fail or doubt.
I’ve waited so long for this.
So long…
I just needed to remind you. I’ll spend the rest of our lives reminding you. So don’t worry, I’m here. - Love Mochi”

Okay part 2 😈 to this ask! @joelsfavoritegirl
Okay we've already read how the two of you get butterfliesss when you guys are first crushing on each other, but i feel like even throughout your relationship things always manage to stay fresh and you both keep surprising each other, so basically your relationship never really loses its spark
Therefore you both still get butterflies about one another even years after getting together
Before your relationship started and also at the beginning of it, sometimes joel would get so nervous around you hehe and his palms would always get clammy 😭 poor joel lol
You know damn well in your talking stage and also right after you get together, joel is for sure tellin his homeboys all about you 😭 (in a respectful way of course, he's not going to embarrass you or anything)
He is down BAD for you, tommy (lol fuckin tommy) and all his friends never let him forget
He always gets warm fuzzy feelings around you because you are so sweet and kind and caring and he always asks himself how he managed to get with a girl like you 🥺
When you first started dating, this man was definitely gigglin and swingin his feet whenever you would respond to his texts HAHAHAH
This man would do ANYTHING for you, and he always goes the extra mile to make you feel special, I'm talking giving you spa nights (so sweet! I guess its only fair since you pamper him too with those little facials hehe), taking you on dates, cooking for you (simple foods), and being extra sweet to you on your period 🥺 getting you all your cravings and putting up with your mood swings (good practice for when he gets you pregnant with his babiesss 😈)
He ALWAYS brings you flowers!!! Joel Miller is a fucking romantic and I will die on that hill fr. Everytime i read in a fic where he brings you flowers i'm like that is so fucking joel miller coded. Even if it's not an elaborate bouquet (those are way to expensive anyways) he'll come home with a bouquet of daisies, carnations, hydrangeas, roses ofc hehe, baby's breath, lavender, you name it. He seems like a simple guy (in a good way, also aren't a lot of guys lol) so you don't need the fancy ones (maybe he gives you those on anniversaries or special events) but just the thought is always so sweet ❤️
Sometimes he'll make the bouquets himself 🥺 he'll get 2-3 varieties from the grocery store and learns to cut and arrange and wrap them himself 🥺 and those are your favorites. You always make sure to give him head every time he does lol he deserves it 🙈
Your natural scent, the smell of your perfumes, soaps, shampoos, detergents, and lotions all bring him to his goddamn knees!!! He be gettin horny fr when you walk by him and he gets a whiff of you LMAOO.
You guys tell each other EVERYTHING and it doesn't take long once you start dating to become very close, and you're very comfortable with basically anything with each other.
I heard of this thing where if you and your partner feel very comfortable, safe, and secure around each other, you tend to feel sleepy and relaxed when you're in each other's presence, and especially bc joel works a hard ass job, i feel like he loves coming home to you and just melting and laying on you and he can feel the tension and stress just leave his body as soon as he walks in the door.
Now bc I want to minimize my pookie's suffering lol, I imagine that bc in this AU he's not a single dad, you both work so for a while you have dual income, and once sarah comes you take a break but eventually do a part time job or something just to help out with expenses so joelie doesn't have to work so hard 🥺
This is such a cute headcanon, but basically whenever he's having an especially hard day he'll look at his phone lockscreen of you two to remind him what's waiting for him at home ❤️ he also reads and keeps all of the notes you leave in his lunch boxes lol
Joel Miller is a DEVOTED and WHIPPED ass man for his girl, he worships the ground you walk on especially once you have his babies hehe 🙈 he's like thats MY GIRL, my BABY MAMA, the MOTHER OF MY CHILDREN, the LIGHT OF MY LIFE AND REASON FOR BEING!!!
Everybody wishes they had a joel miller smh, people look at you guys and they're like 🥺 "wish i had a partner as devoted as he/she is" bc you are equally as whipped for this fine ass man and you cannot WAIT to have his babies
^ biological instincts going brrrr fr when you see that man, you can feel your ovaries crying
And he wants to put his babies in you so bad!!!
Even the sound of your voice gets him fuckin horny, he'll pick you up from work or school sometimes (maybe you plan on getting your associates degree) and he'll catch you talking to a coworker or a classmate and he looks at you like 😍 he's just SO in love you with and you look like an angel to him. He's the type of guy to be looking at you when you say "isn't the view so beautiful" and he's like "yes it is" and you turn and see him looking at you like 😍 and it makes you want to cry
Just like the feeling you get when he calls you "sweet girl", he fr be getting butterflies in his stomach and bootyhole LMAO when you call him "sweet man" 🥺 especially when you hold his face in your hands or stroke his beard when you say it
Your body drives him nuts too ;) he can't get enough of you, yes he's always grabbing/smacking your ass or squeezing your tiddies lol...men
Whenever he talks about you to other people they can see him just LIGHT UP, and he almost is glowing whenever he even thinks of you, or when people bring you up to him :) Like think Peeta Mellark (my first ever fictional love lol Peeta the man that you are!!! 😩 other boys wish they were you!!!) obsessed and in love with you
Jesus christ why do i always get carried away with these lol I CAN'T HELP IT JOEL MILLER IS JUST TOO HOT

Hey Jeremiah, I've always wondered;
If you could give everyone a bouquet of flowers, what would you give them and why?
- 🪽
Everyone- I'm going to assume you mean like, my friends?
Let's see... I've studied meanings for years now, but I also just like to think of what matches their personality, and what makes sense, such as their favorite colors, that kind of thing.
Maybe I'm not the most accurate florist. Maybe...I just get a vibe?
Xavier: Wayleaf sea lavender, it's his favorite but it only grew on Philos. I'm trying to grow some here on earth.
MC: It's her favorite too, because it was Xavier's... but she doesn't know that yet. So. Probably something cute, pretty, as a token of our friendship. I don't know what this version of her likes just yet, but I might do something pretty, a pink rose, some 'mums, some daisies, some geraniums... friend flowers!
Tara: Red roses, a lot of them... babies breath... that thing that humans do where they wrap it in too much tissue... But feelings aside, just talking standard, something cute like colorful carnations with pink and rainbow blooms, to match her fun personality.
Jenna: Very standard bouquet of mixed spring florals, I'd assume it would be congratulatory. Something more aesthetic than meaningful, I don't know her well.
Caleb: coal
Rafayel: Red fire lilies, and some really interesting aesthetic pieces. He's a celebrity, so it's all about the wow factor.
Thomas: Something small, to tuck in his suite, maybe a white rose with some flourishing adornments. This man breathes practicality.
The Foreseer: His excellency appears to enjoy jasmines... I should gift him a potted one.

Of Flowers and Family 💐
Summary: You and Jack have built a life together, the birth of your twins adding to your joy, and as you build a new family together, you find yourselves greatful for every day.
Warnings: mentions of death of a spouse, birth stuff, premature babies and NICU stuff, milk production, AFAB! Female identifying reader.
A/N: I saw this TikTok of a little girl swimming in a dress and it made me think of my favorite wild child Daisy Mae and her Papa Jack.
First fic in series
Second fic in series
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Things at the ranch had settled nicely. Jack had his job, he had his horses, and he had the little garden of flowers he had started growing with you. Twins. You had twins, and girls at that. Violet Anne and Lavender Jane. Two more beautiful flowers to add to his bouquet along with his Daisy Mae, and you, his Honeybee making it all happen. He didn’t know how you did it, you made his life better just by being around, and every day he endeavors to do the same.
“Jack?” He heard your huff of bemused frustration and he smiles to himself. He was in his office, attempting to work on Statesman things, but had found himself listening to you humming in the kitchen and puttering around the house instead. He loved the sound of you in his space, the echo of your footsteps in the hall, your quiet voice filling his rooms and his days with peace he had thought he’d never have.
“Yes Honey? How can I help.” He huffs, standing and wandering into the hall where he sees you with two baby’s strapped to you, attempting to slip into your shoes by the door. He grins at the sight, you are radiant. The purple sling holding two dark haired babies who snoozed sweetly against your chest, and it almost melted his insides completely. He walks up to you and gently pulls the sling back from the two identical heads of dark curls.
They’re so small, barely home a month. They were born prematurely, almost three months ahead of schedule, but apparently that was common amongst twins. Their birth took one measly hour once your water broke, placenta and all. Then as soon as they were in this world, they were whisked away from you. He remembers how much his soul ached seeing the two tiny babies hooked up to tubes in those little incubators, how little and frail they looked surrounded by all those machines. He remembers how hard it was for you to show up early every morning, and leave as late as they would let you, to be with their babies. He remembers switching off days with you at the hospital, spending the day with a grumpy Daisy who was mad her sisters couldn’t come home, or staring at those two precious little girls in boxes. He remembers scrambling to buy premie clothing with you, you worrying your head off about money, and how much you needed, and whether or not any store would have clothing for them. Then he would gently remind you that he was technically rich, and he could get you anything you needed quickly. Remembers how you would smack him and say ‘Jack Daniels, it don’t matter if we sit high on the hog, if we use it all on bacon we’re gonna be flat on our asses .’ He remembers how you would cry at night, beating yourself up over nothing at all, berating yourself for not keeping them in longer. He thinks about all those sleepless nights when you would have to wake up and pump because your breasts ached and there were no babies to feed, how you panicked over having enough milk to send to the hospital. He remembers feeling useless, feeling angry at how little he could do to help you or his babies. Then, finally, after a month long stay, here they were, finally at home and content with their momma and daddy as they were meant to be.
Jack snuggles up to you, gently placing kisses on the soft tufts of hair, breathing in that new baby smell. They were his perfect carbon copy, dark hair, dark eyes, and personality for days, even when all they really did was eat and sleep. They were barely bigger that his forearm, he could hold them steady with their heads in the palms of his hand, and the tips of their toes would barely reach his elbows. They were so, so delicate, but they had an iron clad grip on everyone they came into contact with. Champ, Tequila, and Ginger, all doted on them already, spoiling them like they spoiled little Daisy Mae. Jack’s girls had made quite the impression on Statesman, and there was no Statesman agent (and on the occasion, Kingsmen agent,) around that was ashamed to say that anything his girls asked for they would give.
He remembers letting Tequila babysitting one night last week, prying you out of the house to get some fresh air. He took you to stroll around target for a few hours, and let you buy tons of premie clothes and fancy Easter dresses for you and the girls that all matched. He also took you to grab dinner, and got your nails painted. Never let it be said that Jack Daniels doesn’t spoil his girls. He remembers proposing to you in the Target parking lot that night, your hair a mess, clutching bags of premie clothes you sorely needed with two small babies in the house. It wasn’t how he pictured your engagement going, but laughing with you in that parking lot like you were kids, racing you to put the shopping carts away, he couldn’t imagine a better life than the one he was living right now. So the ring burned right through his pocket and onto your left hand in the neon glow of the red Target sign. He took you to Texas Roadhouse afterwords, and he will never forget eating rolls and giggling like little kids while you talked about the excitement of having all your children at home, and how much better your nerf battles would be in a few years. You are his best friend, you made him feel young again, and he wouldn’t have you any other way.
When you got back, giggling giddily through the door of your home, Tequila, Ginger, Galahad, and his wife Tilde were all snuggling the girls in the living room passed out cold to Frozen. Eggsy was on the floor, head resting between his wife’s legs, his arms loosely wrapped around a sleeping Daisy. Tilde snoozed in the armchair, a hand buried in Eggsy’s hair. Daisy was in Eggsy’s lap, legs wrapped around him like a Koala, her little face smooshed into his chest, arms hanging limply at her sides. Tequila was sprawled out on the couch, little Violet sleeping on his chest, his whole hand covering her back and dwarfing her. His Stetson was pulled over his eyes to block out the light. Ginger had Lavender in her crossed legs, creating a little basket for the baby to sleep in as she dosed against the couch, using Tequila as a pillow.
“Now when we left there was only one Agent here, and now I got three?” You laughed, whispering so as not to wake the babies, but softly enough to alert the adults to your arrival, before waking them, you had taken a billion pictures, and a copy of one rested proudly on Tequila’s desk. A picture of everyone freaking out a few seconds later when you showed them your engagement ring was on Whiskey’s.
He carefully stroked a hand down Violet’s little back, and gets lost for a moment in loving on his little flowers. You can’t help but watch fondly, letting him forget about what you called him in here for for a moment, just enjoying how much he loved his little family. Jack was already a good father, the way he treated Daisy like his own proved that, but seeing him with all three of your babies and handling it like a champ was such a blessing. You fell more and more in love with him every day.
“Sorry sweat pea, had to get my kisses in, but I seem to be missing one.” He grins wolfishly and you laugh.
“Oh? And who might THAT be?” You grin and lean in to kiss him softly.
“Got it!” He cackled evilly and kisses all over your face. He gets down on one knee and helps you slip your shoes on.
“This feels like I’ve been here before.” You laugh, gently placing a hand on Jacks cheek, staring at him with nothing but adoration in your eyes.
“Is that so? Well, while you got me here, I just figured I’d let you know I’d ask you a million times to marry me, but I’m glad it only took you once to say yes.” He winked and you chuckled as he kissed your knuckles and pulled himself up with a groan.
“Jack Daniels? If you had asked me the day we met to marry you, I would have said yes.” You laughed and he grins again, pulling in his own boots and Grabbing the diaper bag.
“Now, are we meeting your mother in law at the creek?” Jack arched a brow and you nodded with a hum of affirmation.
“Yes, she’s got Daisy Mae down there, and apparently she’s already jumped right in, dress and all.” You rolled your eyes and Jack laughed. “I put a towel and a change of clothes in there for her AND for you when you inevitably climb in after her. Jack grinned sheepishly, knowing you were right.
Today was a big day, today was the day he met your mother in law. Daisy’s only living grandparent, and the mother of your first love. Jack was nervous, you would never have to meet his deceased wife’s parents, because they couldn’t stand Jack, they had no contact after the funeral, and that suited him fine. Your mother in law was different. When you started dating her son, and she realized you didn’t have a mother, she took you in and mothered you like the daughter she never had. You spoke so highly of the woman, and still talked to her once a week even though her son had passed on. It was important to you that this woman blessed your new marriage, and he was a bit nervous. She hadn’t gotten to come down when Violet and Lavender were born, and when they got home, she very considerately waited to come down until they had settled in. She did however make a point of sending crocheted blankets and hats for the babies just like she had for Daisy. No difference would be made in these babies and Daisy on her watch, and Jack truly appreciated it. The closest the girls got to a grandparent on his side was Champ, so having a grandmother who loved them was something he truly appreciated.
He had talked to her once over the phone, expressly calling and asking her permission to marry you and adopt Daisy. The last thing he wanted was to be seen as stepping on her Son’s memory, and you loved her like a mother, so he wanted to do right by her. She was flabbergasted that he would go out of his way to do such a thing, and he will always remember what she said to him.
‘Darlin? That girl deserves the world. If my son were in her shoes, she would want nothing but the best for him, and I want nothing but the best for her because it’s what he would have wanted. That girl is my family, because I hate to say it, but I don’t have much left to spare, so as long as you’re okay with me treating you like a son, and you do right by my babies, all I can say is welcome to the family.’ She had been so kind, and he attempted to keep her as up to date as possible on the girls and your health while they were in the hospital. Today though, he would meet her in person, and he hoped that he would be all that she wanted him to be.
When you arrived at the creek, Daisy was holding court in the water with the frogs and the guppies as her subjects. She had a daisy chain on her head and a stick in her hands that she used like a wand. She was sat down and soaked up to her chest in her little pink play dress. Her hair was in a messy little bun on her head and she would reach up every once in a while to push her baby hairs out of her face with wet fingers. Jack grinned at the little wild child that had all but wrapped him around her little finger. She was his introduction to fatherhood, and she owned a special piece of his heart. He took a picture of her with his phone while you chatted with her grandmother Helen.
“He sure loves our Daisy don’t he?” Your mother in law sighed, grinning and taking one of the twins into her arms as you breastfed the other, planning to switch off momentarily, content to sit and watch your baby bewitch forest critters and swim about fully clothed in the shallow creek.
“Oh yeah, loves her with his whole heart. It’s enchanting.” You grinned.
“Oh my,” Helen chuckled, brushing a loose hair from your face while your hands were full. “You love him don’t you baby?” You nodded shyly and she hugged you to her side, pressing a hand to the side of your head while you leaned on her shoulder.
“Yeah momma, I do, but I loved James too.” You sounded a little guilty and she shushed you, instantly assuaging your fears with a motherly scold.
“I know you did honey, nobody could ever say you didn’t. I’m just happy you got a good one, it’s what my boy would have wanted. I want nothing but the best for you, and meeting him now? I know you’ll have it.” She cradled the baby close and grinned. “He makes beautiful babies, that’s for sure.” You laughed and it drew Jack’s attention, finally causing him to turn and come meet your mother in law. He removed his hat and slicked his hair back, reaching out his hand respectfully to Shake.
“Ma’am? It’s wonderful to meet you-“ he started nervously, only for Helen to smack his hand away and pull him into a bone crushing hug.
“I’m a hugger son, get used to it.” She laughed and Jack beamed at you as she welcomed him with open arms, it had been a long time since he had felt such motherly affection Ms he was taken aback by how easily she welcomed him into her arms. “I can’t believe I’m getting another son, I had one that was rowdy enough already, but I miss it.” She winked at him and they spent a good twenty minutes in quiet conversation while you all just mooned over the twins and little Daisy who was still prancing about in the water.
Eventually Daisy got tired, and Jack bundled her up in a towel to carry her home. The whole time you walked, he was in quite conversation with the little girl, placing kisses to her cheeks and forehead lovingly and Helen beamed at the sight, once again telling you how much she loved your new beaux. Eventually you reached the house, and you all stood around talking at Helen’s car.
“Will you be joining us for dinner tonight Helen?” Jack politely offered, taking Daisy back off her hands after she properly hugged and kissed her goodnight.
“Nah, I got myself a date!” You gasped and laughed and Helen winked at Jack who just looked stunned.
“Momma! You didn’t!” You laughed.
“Sure did sweet pea! Handsome fella too, met him when I took Daisy for ice cream this afternoon.” She laughed and you grinned. “Text me the code for the door though sugar, I’ll break in and make us all Breakfast in the morning and we can take the kids to the zoo.” She winked and Daisy, though exhausted, still found the energy to beg you to go.
“Oh alright,” you laughed. Hugging Helen one more time. “But you send me a picture when you get back so I know you got home safe, you hear?”
“Hey now! I’m the mom here not you!” She laughed, “go put my grand babies to bed and I will see you in the morning.”
Eventually your little house settled, the babies were in their cradles and Daisy was all washed up and tucked in. You were laying with Jack, and he was stroking your back while you talked about your days. He was glad to report that Helen officially loved him, and you were ecstatic, you knew she would, but it was nice to add another family member to your lives who loved him. One of the babies started crying about an hour or two after you fell asleep, and Jack got up to handle it, pressing a kiss to your forehead and muttering for you to ‘stay put.’
You could hear him in the other room, pacing and singing a little song about cowboys to the girls, so you snuck in to see both girls tucked into his arms while he rocked back and forth.
“Blue shadows on the trail
Little cowgirl close your eyes and dream
All of the doggies are in the corral
All of your work is done
Just close your eyes and dream little gal
Dream of someone.”
You broke out in a grin and you couldn’t help but feel like the luckiest woman alive. You had a second chance at love, and with someone who made you feel like you were a love struck teenager. Though it hadn’t been long, you and Jack had experienced a lot together, and through it all he proved time and time again there is nobody you would rather do life with. He settled the babies back in the crib and let the still blearily blinking Violet hold his finger while he finished the lullaby. You came up and wrapped your arms around his back, pressing a kiss between his shoulder blades, before resting your ear against his back, listening to him rumble out the rest of the lullaby.
“Blue shadows on the trail
Soft wind blowing through the trees above
All the other little cowgirls are in the bunkhouse now
So close your eyes and dream.”
When violets eyes finally drooped close, he took one of your hands and pressed a kiss to your knuckles. “I love you Honeybee, thank you for all my pretty flowers.” He mumbled, spinning to face you, palming your hair from your forehead and stroking your cheeks.
“No problem Cowboy, I do it ‘cause I love you.” You pucker your lips, and Jack leans in to easily oblige your kiss. You make your way back to bed, and your about to fall asleep when your phone buzzes, and you go to check, only to see a picture of Helen with her date and a little message to let you know she got home safe. When you saw who her date was you gasped.
“Oh my god Jack!” You laughed and he raised an eyebrow, rolling over to look at your phone.
When you turned it to face him, his eyes nearly bugged out of his head. “Is that Champ!?”
You cackled and Jack joined you, suddenly delighted by what a small world this turned out to be. Yep, your little family was coming along nicely, and there was nobody you’d rather share it with than your perfect cowboy, and your pretty babies.

"My lady! I bought new flowers to decorate your room with." Yingyue presented Bailu with two bouquets, one filled with lavenders, alliums, and baby's breath, and the other with daisies, daffodils, and lilies of the valley.
"I wasn't sure which you'd like best -- rest assured, my lady, the others will not go to waste. I will decorate my chambers with them."
Tumblr media
Bailu looked up from her writing, "Oh, thank you, Yingyue." She smiled at the other; however, her simile didn't quite reach her eyes like it usually did.
She hasn't smiled like that in a while, not since Scalegorge.
"They're all really pretty. Where did you get them?"
Putting the cap back on her pen, Bailu hopped down from her desk and walked over. Her turquoise eyes instantly landed on the alliums, and she reached out to lightly touch the ball of flowers taking note of its texture and how it felt beneath her fingertips. Then she pulled out a stalk of lavender and turned it in her hand, "Lavender is good for treating infection, anxiety, fevers, and promoting qi circulation."
Tumblr media
"I was running low on lavender, thank you for picking some up." She gave Yingyue small smile, "Why don't you pick first?" She suggested. "They're all really beautiful, so I can't decide."

10 Stunning Wedding Flower Arrangements to Elevate Your Big Day
Flowers are the heartbeat of any wedding, infusing color, fragrance, and life into your special day. They can set the tone for your celebration, aiming for a grand, opulent affair or a more intimate, rustic gathering. From bouquets to centerpieces, floral arrangements are key to creating the mood and style of your wedding. However, choosing the right flower arrangements can feel overwhelming given the endless options.
Cascading Bridal Bouquets
A cascading bouquet is a showstopper that exudes elegance and drama. With flowers and greenery spilling over the edge, this bouquet creates a waterfall effect that draws attention to the bride as she walks down the aisle. Popular flowers for cascading bouquets include roses, orchids, and trailing vines like ivy or jasmine. This arrangement works particularly well for brides who want a bold, romantic look.
Whether you choose a monochromatic palette or mix different hues, cascading bouquets have an ethereal, whimsical quality that is perfect for bohemian or vintage-themed weddings. They pair beautifully with long, flowing wedding dresses and create a striking visual statement for the bride.
Minimalist Hand-Tied Bouquets
For brides who appreciate simplicity and understated beauty, a minimalist hand-tied bouquet is the ideal choice. This bouquet typically consists of just a few key blooms, often in soft, neutral shades, tied together with a simple ribbon. Popular flowers for this arrangement include white roses, peonies, or anemones, paired with a touch of greenery.
The beauty of a minimalist bouquet lies in its simplicity. By focusing on a small selection of high-quality blooms, the arrangement looks timeless and chic. This style works well for modern or minimalist weddings where clean lines and uncluttered designs are a priority.
Floral Hoops for Bridesmaids
Floral hoops are a contemporary and charming alternative to traditional bridesmaid bouquets. These lightweight hoops are adorned with flowers and greenery, creating a whimsical, boho-chic vibe. Bridesmaids can carry them as they walk down the aisle, and they also double as fun photo props.
Floral hoops can be customized with your choice of flowers, making them adaptable to different wedding themes. Popular flower choices for hoops include eucalyptus, roses, and dahlias. This unique arrangement is perfect for outdoor weddings or those with a modern, non-traditional flair.
Wildflower Bouquets
For couples planning a rustic, outdoor, or countryside wedding, a wildflower bouquet is a charming and natural option. Wildflower bouquets are characterized by their relaxed, unstructured appearance, often featuring a mix of colorful blooms and lush greenery. Common flowers for wildflower arrangements include daisies, lavender, sunflowers, and ferns.
The appeal of wildflower bouquets lies in their organic, freshly-picked look. They evoke a sense of nature and spontaneity, perfect for brides who want a laid-back, free-spirited feel for their wedding. These bouquets are also budget-friendly, as many wildflowers are less expensive than traditional wedding flowers like roses or orchids.
Flower Crowns for the Bride and Bridal Party
Flower crowns are a timeless, romantic accessory that can add a touch of magic to your wedding day. Whether worn by the bride, bridesmaids, or even flower girls, floral crowns offer a soft, natural beauty that complements a range of wedding styles, from bohemian to fairytale.
The flowers used for crowns can vary depending on your color scheme and season. Delicate blooms like baby's breath, daisies, or smaller roses work well for a more subtle look, while larger flowers like peonies or dahlias can create a bolder statement. Flower crowns are a wonderful way to enhance the bridal party's look and create a cohesive floral theme throughout the ceremony.
Lush Floral Centerpieces
Centerpieces are the focal point of any wedding reception, and lush floral arrangements can make a big impact. A grand floral centerpiece overflowing with flowers, greenery, and possibly even candles or crystals can elevate the overall décor of your venue. Flowers like hydrangeas, peonies, and garden roses are perfect for creating voluminous, luxurious centerpieces.
To add even more depth and texture, consider incorporating cascading elements, such as vines or hanging flowers, to give the arrangement movement and dimension. Whether your style is classic, romantic, or modern, a stunning floral centerpiece can transform your reception space and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Suspended Floral Installations
One of the most breathtaking trends in wedding floral design is the suspended floral installation. This arrangement involves hanging flowers and greenery from the ceiling to create a floating garden effect. Suspended arrangements can be placed above the reception tables, the dance floor, or even the ceremony altar, providing a dramatic, eye-catching display.
Popular flowers for suspended installations include wisteria, roses, and cascading greenery like eucalyptus or ferns. These installations create a sense of whimsy and grandeur, perfect for couples who want to wow their guests with an unforgettable floral display.
Floral Aisle Runners
Floral aisle runners are an elegant way to enhance the ceremony space and make the bride's entrance even more spectacular. Instead of a traditional fabric aisle runner, flowers and greenery are laid out along the sides of the aisle, creating a lush, garden-like pathway. This arrangement is particularly popular for outdoor weddings, where it complements the natural surroundings.
The flowers used in aisle runners can vary depending on your wedding's color scheme and theme. Roses, peonies, and greenery are common choices, but you can also mix in seasonal blooms for a more personalized touch. A floral aisle runner adds romance and charm to the ceremony while serving as a stunning visual element.
Flower Wall Backdrops
Flower walls have become a popular feature at weddings, often used as a backdrop for the ceremony or photo booth. These large-scale floral displays create a lush, vibrant background that enhances the wedding's décor and provides a beautiful setting for photos. Whether you opt for a wall covered entirely in roses, or a mix of different flowers and greenery, a flower wall is sure to make a statement.
Flower walls can be customized to match your wedding's color scheme and style. White roses or orchids are perfect for a classic, elegant look, while bold, colorful blooms can add a touch of fun and vibrancy. No matter the style, a flower wall is a great way to incorporate florals into your wedding in a unique and visually striking way.
Seasonal Flower Arrangements
One of the best ways to ensure your wedding flower arrangements look fresh, vibrant, and cohesive is to choose seasonal blooms. Not only are seasonal flowers more likely to be in their prime, but they are also more affordable and environmentally friendly.
For a spring wedding, consider flowers like tulips, daffodils, and cherry blossoms. Summer weddings can take advantage of bright, bold blooms like sunflowers, dahlias, and lilies. Autumn weddings are perfect for rich, earthy tones, with flowers like chrysanthemums, marigolds, and autumn leaves. Winter weddings can incorporate evergreens, holly, and white roses for a wintry, elegant feel.
By choosing seasonal flowers, you can ensure that your arrangements complement the time of year and reflect the natural beauty of the season.
Flowers are an integral part of any wedding, and the right arrangements can take your big day to the next level. From cascading bridal bouquets to lush floral centerpieces and suspended installations, there are endless possibilities for incorporating flowers into your wedding décor. If you are looking for flower arrangements in Hudson MA, European Floral is the best option. You can contact them by calling (651) 717-5689.

Country Weddings: Choosing the Perfect Rustic Flower Bouquets
Tumblr media
Country weddings are remembered for their classic beauty, yet have this organic beauty that blends with romantic sophistication. They can take place in a small barn, big farm, or even in the lush country, making it very rustically earthy. The idea of these types of country weddings is impossible to resist for most brides. Above all, the flowers hold a high position in any country wedding, especially the bridal bouquet. A simple, unpretentious bouquet will be a lead-off theme throughout the whole wedding celebration and will add a bit of warmth, color, and that special touch from nature's best.
In this blog, we will take you through the steps to find the ideal rustic flower bouquet for your country wedding, step you through the best flowers to use, and show you how to incorporate seasonal blooms into your arrangements. I will give you some tips on how to create that organic look, like a wildflower look.
Why Rustic Bouquets Are Ideal for Country Weddings
Rustic flower bouquets present the essence of the countryside in their organic, lay-above-beauty concept. They generally comprise a mix of wildflowers and foliage with some dried flowers, such as wheat or lavender, that look effortless and organic. Rustic bouquets are aesthetically stunning and extremely versatile, complementing a wide range of country wedding themes, from bohemian to vintage to farmhouse chic.
Unlike tight, perfect bouquets, rustic flower arrangements celebrate imperfection and texture. Slender, unstructured blooms and different heights give an untidy yet beautiful effect, making them perfect for brides who want their intimate special day to become more nature-connected.
1. Choosing the Right Flowers for Rustic Bouquets
The heart of any rustic wedding flower bouquet is the flowers themselves. In choosing flowers for a country wedding, you want to be selecting blooms that have a natural, wildflower-like feel. Here are some of the best flower choices for rustic bouquets:
1.1 Sunflowers: Bright and Cheerful
Sunflowers are the epitome of country weddings in general because of their bright, cheerful look and large, bold blooms. One cannot do away with the notion that these flowers will give a bouquet the warmth and happiness it might otherwise lack. They work wonderfully well in rustic settings because of their natural, farm-fresh look as well as their use in pairing striking yellow petals against other softer blooms.
Such sunflowers can be used with daisies or very fragile daisies, baby's breath, or lavender to create a beautiful, balanced wedding bouquet made up of charming flowers.
1.2 Daisies: Simple and Sweet
Daisies are another perfect flower for a rustic bouquet. These sweetly tiny flowers mean innocence and purity, and it's lovely to have them in a rustic country wedding. Their round shape and the happy white petals with dots of yellow at the center give any floral arrangement a pleasant, light feel.
The daisies look very good with other rustic flowers like wildflowers or chamomile. Such a bouquet will have a carefree look, just like the flowers inspired by the meadows.
1.3 Lavender: Fragrant and Rustic
Lavender is indispensable in rustic flower arrangements, as it not only carries a soft shade of purple but also a fragrance that calms the senses. Such dainty, thin flowers carry an elegance and simplicity that speak miles, perfect for country weddings that embody a more romantic vintage feel.
Lavender is a wonderful flower for a focal arrangement or can be used as a filler since its fragrance and earthy quality are so subtle. These fillers are very harmonious with large blooms such as roses or peonies, and this subtle earthy scent blends so much to the overall rustic feel, making lavender a perfect flower for brides seeking a sensory element to their floral arrangements.
1.4 Roses: Timeless and Romantic
While roses lend themselves to a more formal wedding when decorated with bows, they can easily represent the rustic aesthetic when elements of greenery, or even wildflowers, combine with them. Garden roses are particularly suited for rustic bouquets because of their total, lush petals and soft pastel colors.
For a rustic country wedding, soft pinks, creams, and even dusty rose-hued blooms are great mixed with wildflowers and greenery to create a loose, effortless look. Roses' classic beauty, with their unrefined contrast, makes for an excellent balance between romance and nature.
1.5 Baby’s Breath: Airy and Delicate
Baby's breath typically fills rustic bouquets, giving them an airy, cloud-like appearance. These small white flowers generally serve as fillers in floral arrangements, adding volume and texture without obscuring the primary blooms.
Adding an excessive quantity of such country flower bouquets could result in a delicate, sentimental appearance. Baby's breath can also be used against its color; larger, brighter blooms like sunflowers or roses create a great contrast that enhances the overall bouquet.
2. Incorporating Greenery and Foliage
Greenery is very essential in rural or vintage flower bouquets; this aids in creating a natural, organic feel, which is inevitable for a country wedding. Unlike the joint bouquet fillers through the use of ribbons or beads, rustic-style bouquets are more dependent on the use of lush greenery and foliage to complement flowers.
2.1 Eucalyptus: Soft and Silvery
Eucalyptus is one of the most popular foliage species for a country bouquet. Its silvery-green leaves add generous texture and drama to an arrangement but can be tucked away without overpowering the flowers. It does lovely cascading hanging folds around large blooms or weaves through a bouquet for lush fullness.
There are several types of eucalyptus, ranging from the small, rounded leaves of silver dollar eucalyptus to the more elongated wispy branches of seeded eucalyptus. Each one adds a distinctive feel to the bouquet, bringing this fresh, earthy component into the overall design.
2.2 Fern: Wild and Whimsical
Fern leaves have very delicate, feathery fronds that can be used very successfully to add a wild and wonderful feel to rustic flowers. Light and airy, these fronds fill out the volume of the bouquet, making it seem more substantial in its organic appearance. Ferns go well with so many other rustic flowers, mainly when they're laid out with larger statement blooms like sunflowers or peonies.
Ferns can also complement dark green foliage, providing a nice, earthy backdrop for more dainty blooms while contrasting well with softer flowers.
2.3 Olive Branches: Simple and Understated
More silhouettes and another perfect addition to rustic bouquets: olive branches for that minimalist, Mediterranean look the bride has always dreamed of. Narrow, silvery green and with simple elegance, the leaves of these olive branches will add an understated sophistication to any bouquet. Slender and pale in color, they provide a natural framework for more vibrant flowers so that these blooms take center stage.
Olive branches symbolize peace and long life, making them a powerful ingredient in a wedding bouquet. They especially sparkle under a bohemian or vineyard-inspired country wedding theme.
3. Incorporating Seasonal Blooms
A rustic bouquet's flexibility to work with seasonal blooms makes it beautiful. For one, picking seasonal blooms means that the flowers will be fresh and at their best; they also give off a feeling of harmony with nature, which basically forms the rustic style.
3.1 Spring Bouquets: Fresh and Colorful
Since spring is a season of renewal and rebirth, the bouquet should embody this freshness and vibrancy for your country's wedding during this time of year. Soft pastel-hued flowers like peonies, daisies, and ranunculus should dominate your mind, paired with fresh greenery such as eucalyptus or fern in a light and airy bouquet that replicates the blossoming landscape around you.
Spring is also time for wildflowers for a rustic bouquet. Mix with daisies, poppies, or buttercups for a bright and cheerful meadow-inspired arrangement.
3.2 Summer Bouquets: Bright and Bold
For summer weddings, one can include brighter and more vibrant flowers. Some colorful flowers one finds during summer include sunflowers, zinnias, and hydrangeas-they are at their prime and tend to add a feel of warmth and energy to very rustic arrangements. Bright flowers, coupled with softer greenery like olive branches or ivy, result in a balanced bouquet that is reminiscent of summer.
Lavender also blooms early in summer, and it's stunning in rustic wedding bouquets in June or July. Its beautiful, heavenly purple color and fragrance add a subtle, romantic touch to summer arrangements.
3.3 Winter Bouquets: Elegant and Natural
Where winter weddings are concerned, elegant yet natural blooms in cool tones like white, cream, and silver on the flowers will be helpful. Add to that some seasonal greenery that would complement the rustic winter theme, such as pine and cedar or even holly, for the texture and depth of the arrangement. White roses, amaryllis, anemones are all fantastic for that soft romantic look along with the landscape around a wedding in winter.
You might also add pinecones, berries, or sprigs of dried lavender around the winter bouquet to give it a more festive look.
Conclusion
A country wedding is a celebration of the beauty of nature, the simplicity of love, and, of course, flowers. The loose flower  bouquet arrangement, earthy tones, and floral and wildflower aesthetic all do well in terms of the country theme for your special day. Whether you choose sunflowers, roses, or seasonal wildflowers, the proper mix of blooms and green will bring your rustic wedding to life. And surrounded by the natural beauty of the countryside, their bouquets will tell the story of love amidst wildflowers and colors as well as textured fabrics of nature.

Brighten Your Big Day with Sunflowers
Planning a wedding is a beautiful yet daunting task, especially when it comes to choosing the perfect décor. If you're a bride-to-be, wedding planner, or botanical enthusiast looking for a unique and vibrant theme, consider incorporating sunflowers into your wedding decor. Sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty, and longevity—attributes that perfectly align with the essence of marriage. This blog post will guide you through creative ideas and inspiration for using sunflowers throughout your wedding decor, ensuring your big day is as bright and joyful as these stunning blooms.
Why Choose Sunflowers for Your Wedding?
Symbolism and Meaning
Sunflowers are more than just visually appealing flowers. They carry rich symbolism that can add depth and meaning to your wedding. Known for their bright yellow petals and sun-like appearance, sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty, and longevity—qualities that are foundational to a successful marriage. Incorporating these flowers into your wedding decor can serve as a constant reminder of these essential vows.
Seasonal and Versatile
One of the best things about sunflowers is their availability. Typically blooming in late summer and early fall, these flowers are perfect for seasonal weddings. Their versatile nature allows them to fit seamlessly into various wedding themes, from rustic to elegant, making them an excellent choice for any bride looking to add a touch of natural beauty to her special day.
Budget-Friendly Option
Weddings can be expensive, but your floral arrangements don't have to break the bank. Sunflowers are generally more affordable than many other popular wedding flowers like roses or peonies. Their large size also means you need fewer of them to make a big impact, helping you save on your wedding budget without compromising on aesthetic appeal.
Sunflower Bridal Bouquets
Classic Elegance
A sunflower bridal bouquet can be both classic and elegant. Pairing sunflowers with white roses or lilies can create a timeless look that exudes sophistication. The contrast between the bright yellow petals and the white blooms offers a striking visual that will make you stand out as you walk down the aisle.
Rustic Charm
For a more rustic feel, consider a bouquet that combines sunflowers with other wildflowers, such as daisies, baby's breath, and lavender. This combination not only adds texture and variety but also enhances the natural, carefree vibe that many brides seek for their outdoor or barn weddings.
Personalized Touch
Make your bridal bouquet uniquely yours by adding personal touches. Incorporate sentimental items like a piece of fabric from a loved one's clothing or a family heirloom brooch. These small additions can make your sunflower bouquet even more special and meaningful.
Sunflower Centerpieces
Simple and Elegant
Sunflower centerpieces can be simple yet elegant. A single sunflower in a clear vase filled with water and floating candles can create a romantic atmosphere without overwhelming the table setting. This minimalist approach allows the natural beauty of the sunflower to shine through.
Rustic Arrangements
For a rustic-themed wedding, consider using wooden crates or mason jars filled with sunflowers and greenery. Adding elements like burlap, lace, and twine can enhance the rustic charm and create a cozy, inviting ambiance for your guests.
Mixed Floral Displays
Mix sunflowers with other seasonal flowers like dahlias, chrysanthemums, and zinnias to create vibrant and colorful centerpieces. This combination can add depth and variety to your decor, making each table unique and visually appealing.
Sunflower Ceremony Backdrops
Natural Beauty
Create a breathtaking ceremony backdrop by using a wall of sunflowers. This can be achieved by attaching sunflower stems to a trellis or arch, creating a natural and stunning focal point for your ceremony. The bright yellow petals will provide a cheerful and uplifting atmosphere as you exchange your vows.
Draped Elegance
For an elegant touch, consider draping sunflowers along with white or pastel-colored fabric over a wedding arch. This combination adds a soft, romantic feel while still showcasing the beauty of the sunflowers. Complement the setup with fairy lights or lanterns for a magical effect.
Greenery and Sunflowers
Incorporate greenery like eucalyptus, ferns, or ivy along with sunflowers for a lush, garden-like backdrop. The green foliage will add a natural element, making the sunflowers pop even more. This setup works particularly well for outdoor weddings in gardens or parks.
Sunflower Aisle Decor
Petal Pathway
Create a sunflower petal pathway leading to the altar. This can be done by scattering sunflower petals along the aisle, adding a touch of whimsy and romance to your ceremony. The bright yellow petals will stand out against any backdrop, making your walk down the aisle unforgettable.
Potted Sunflowers
Line the aisle with potted sunflowers to create a cohesive and eye-catching look. This approach not only adds beauty but also ensures that the flowers can be easily moved and repurposed for the reception area, making it a practical and sustainable option.
Hanging Arrangements
Consider hanging sunflower arrangements from the ends of the pews or chairs. This can be done using small bouquets tied with ribbon or hanging mason jars filled with sunflowers. This setup adds a unique and charming touch to your ceremony decor.
Sunflower Wedding Favors
Seed Packets
Give your guests a memorable and eco-friendly wedding favor with sunflower seed packets. Customize the packets with your names and wedding date, and include a heartfelt message thanking your guests for sharing your special day. This gift allows your guests to grow their sunflowers and remember your wedding every time they see the blooms.
Mini Bouquets
Create mini sunflower bouquets as wedding favors. Arrange a few sunflower stems with greenery and wrap them in kraft paper or burlap for a rustic touch. These mini bouquets can serve as both decor and a gift, adding a personal and thoughtful element to your wedding.
Sunflower-Themed Edibles
Consider sunflower-themed edible favors, such as sunflower-shaped cookies, chocolates, or honey jars. These sweet treats are not only delicious but also tie in beautifully with your sunflower-themed wedding.
Sunflower Invitations and Stationery
Eye-Catching Designs
Set the tone for your sunflower-themed wedding with eye-catching invitations and stationery. Incorporate sunflower illustrations, watercolor designs, or even pressed sunflower petals to create a unique and memorable invitation suite.
Consistent Theme
Ensure that your sunflower theme carries through all your wedding stationery, including save-the-dates, programs, menus, and thank-you cards. Consistency in design elements, such as colors, fonts, and sunflower motifs, will create a cohesive and polished look.
Personal Touches
Add personal touches to your invitations and stationery by including a custom monogram, wax seals, or hand-calligraphy. These details will make your wedding stationery feel extra special and set the stage for your sunflower-themed celebration.

DIY Flower Bouquet Ideas for a Personal Touch
Flowers have a timeless appeal that can brighten any occasion, and creating your own DIY flower bouquet adds a special personal touch to gift-giving. Whether you’re surprising a loved one, celebrating a special event, or simply indulging in a creative endeavor, crafting your bouquet allows you to tailor it to the recipient’s taste and the occasion. In this blog, we’ll explore some delightful and easy DIY flower bouquet ideas that will surely leave a lasting impression.
Theme-based Bouquets:
Start by selecting a theme that resonates with the recipient or the occasion. For example, a “vintage romance” bouquet could feature soft pastel roses and delicate baby’s breath, while a “bright and bold” theme might include vibrant sunflowers and daisies. Choose flowers and colors that complement the theme for a cohesive and visually appealing bouquet.
Seasonal Sensations:
Embrace the beauty of each season by incorporating seasonal blooms into your bouquet. Spring might feature tulips and daffodils, while autumn bouquets can showcase rich, warm hues with dahlias and chrysanthemums. Seasonal flowers not only add freshness but also connect the bouquet to the time of year, making it even more meaningful.
Herb-infused Elegance:
Infuse your bouquet with the delightful fragrance of fresh herbs. Lavender, mint, and rosemary not only add a unique scent but also bring an extra layer of texture and greenery. Combine these herbs with complementary flowers for a bouquet that engages multiple senses.
Sentimental Succulents:
Add a modern and lasting touch to your bouquet by incorporating succulents. These hardy plants not only add an interesting texture but also serve as a lasting reminder of your thoughtful gift. Combine succulents with softer flowers for a striking contrast.
Monochromatic Marvels:
Opt for a classic and elegant look by creating a monochromatic bouquet. Choose flowers of the same color but varying shades for a sophisticated and cohesive arrangement. This timeless approach works well for formal occasions or when you want to convey a sense of calm and simplicity.
Wildflower Whimsy:
Capture the beauty of nature with a wildflower-inspired bouquet. Include an assortment of blooms that mimic the carefree and unstructured appearance of wildflowers. This rustic style is perfect for a laid-back and casual atmosphere, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
Personalized Picks:
Consider the recipient’s favorite flowers or those with special meanings. Whether it’s roses for love, lilies for purity, or sunflowers for positivity, selecting flowers with significance adds a personal touch to the bouquet. Research the language of flowers to create a bouquet that conveys a heartfelt message.
Creating your own DIY flower bouquet is a rewarding and thoughtful way to express your sentiments. Whether you choose a theme, incorporate seasonal elements, or add a touch of personalization, your handmade creation is sure to be cherished. So, the next time you want to gift flowers, consider taking the extra step and crafting a bouquet that reflects your creativity and the unique personality of the recipient.
