Grocery Store Flower Arrangement
Flower arrangements change like the wind over here. From subtle natural looks to bold and beautiful blooms. One of the fun parts about playing with flowers is that you can go with whatever inspires you in the moment. This time- it was all about shades of purple.
Though we have the SF Flower Mart not far away- one of my every week places to get flowers is the plain old supermarket. My husband picked these up one day while he was shopping- and they inspired an impromptu purple passion arrangement for the kitchen.
What’s in the Arrangement
Stock, lisianthus, Veronica, dahlias and mini roses.
This is a mix and mingle of beautiful blooms in various shades and sizes. I incorporated a couple pale blush pinks as well to warm up the purples. The key here is to use what speaks to you.
Tall and short of it
I like to keep some flowers longer than others for a bit of a wonky, gathered up look that kind of rambles. But of course, you can keep them all similar for a cleaner look.
I used a galvanized vase for these- the key here is to place a glass jar inside the metal vase to keep it from rusting. Rust in the water won’t be good for the blooms.
Ready for the Weekend
Often in the grocery stores on Fridays- they will have flowers marked down for the weekend for a Friday special. It used to be $5 bunches- but with inflation- they were $10 each recently. Mix a single bunch with clippings from your garden- or grab several and enjoy mingling them. Depending on which type of flowers you bring home- you can enjoy them a week or longer in many cases.
Happy Friday flowers.
