11 Enchanted Florist Ideas to Enhance your Home
The idea of living in a home inspired by an enchanted forest appeals to many of us, so what about the concept of living in a home created by an enchanted florist?
To create a delightfully enchanted environment in your own home, we’ve collected 11 appealing floral ideas. All you need is a bunch of fresh flowers from your local florist shop and some ingenuity.
1. Start with a glass or plain white vase and a bouquet of white flowers with baby’s breath (gypsophila) for effect. Cut and arrange the flowers so they spread out across the vase and then add the baby’s breath in between the individual flowers.
2. Spray a flower arrangement with water and then carefully sprinkle with silver or white glitter. Place the display where there is a good light source so they shimmer in the sunlight.
3. Most craft stores carry a range of artificial butterflies in a variety of colours which look wonderful when mixed among a cheerfully arranged vase of flowers.
If necessary, attach florist wire to the back of the butterflies so they sit slightly higher in the vase than the flowers. This creates the illusion that the butterflies are hovering above the display.
4. Fairy lights create an enchanting effect when strung among indoor or outdoor foliage. Loop the fairy lights along the inner branches of the tree or plant so the cord isn’t visible.
5. Using a length of silver or gold organza ribbon and a clear glass vase, criss-cross the ribbon around the vase from bottom to top and then tie with a large bow.
6. Save coloured glass bottles and jars in similar tones to your collection of vases, and then display a single flower in each bottle alongside matching small vases, each with a single flower.
7. A pretty floral teapot makes an enchanting floral idea when filled with a display of dainty cottage inspired flowers.
8. Go out into your garden and gather twigs and small branches that have fallen off your trees. Try to find interesting shapes and textures.
Spray the branches with silver paint and allow the paint to dry. Then add them to any type of vase and intermingle the twigs among your floral display.
9. You don’t need a huge collection of vases to make an enchanting florist display. Instead, add marbles or small stones in a variety of colours and shapes to highball glasses.
Add a single stem to each glass using the stones or marbles to anchor the stem and display the glasses in groups of 3 or 4 throughout your home.
10. Hydrangeas or Easter lilies look wonderful when displayed in a large pitcher or jug. To create added interest, use satin ribbon in a complementary shade and wrap it around the handle of the jug, finishing with a bow.
11. When you have a special occasion cake or dessert to offer your guests, it’s easy to make it look spectacular with iced flowers as decoration.
The effect looks best when you choose flowers that don’t have many petals, from large lilies to small pansies or violets.
With a pastry brush, lightly cover each petal with egg white and then dust the petals with finely sifted icing sugar while the egg white is still damp. You can do the same with leaves for added effect.
Allow the petals to dry and then carefully display them on top of the cake or dessert.
A floral bouquet from your local online florist can be transformed into an enchanted flower arrangement with just a little imagination, creativity and pretty accessories you often have right in front of you at home.
