Webisode: Flower Arranging with Holly


In today's webisode, we move from the kitchen to the garden as my good friend Holly Vesecky, co-owner of Hollyflora, shows us how create four types of flower arrangements.

We used my favorite seasonal flowers - peonies, roses, ranunculus and lilac - and pulled the rest from my garden. The big lesson here is that you can work with what's around your house or apartment to create something truly gorgeous. I learned so much while filming with Holly and I hope you find this video inspiring.

And many thanks to my girl Holly for sharing the tricks of the trade with us.

I LOVE this! So springy. Plus, I worked in a flower shop for about a year so fun to see some new tips...(like the lilac scenario? and greens from around the house?) Cozy!

Heather said...

This is my favorite webisode yet! You have the best backyard and such pretty blooms! I can't wait to try out some of these tips next time I go to the Flower District. I usually add the water and the greenery as the final steps so I'll be sure to switch it up!

So beautiful. I'm imaging sunshine right now. It's making me want to get my house in ship shape so that I can have flowers to brighten it up. When things feel a little cluttered it's hard to imagine flowers everywhere. Thank you.
