Serve a simple salad at your Bunny Party with these tasty Petits Palmiers tucked into the mixed greens to look like bunny ears. A crispy puff pastry cookie, these are available at Trader Joe’s and other grocery stores. Perfect for Easter, food can look cute and taste yummy too.
And if you’re including a floral arrangement at your party, don’t forget some ornamental cabbage with your springtime flowers.

Here is a last minute idea for a Thanksgiving Day table centerpiece. Easier than carving a pumpkin, just add some flowers and you’ll have a festive flower arrangement in minutes.
1. Cut off the top of the pumpkin.
2. Scrape out the seeds and other gooey insides of the pumpkin.
3. Carefully put a glass container into the pumpkin and fill with water.
4. Arrange your flowers inside the glass container.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Ever wonder how to arrange flowers? I am in love with this flower arrangement. If you would like to re-create this bouquet that we used for the Art Party yourself, here are the easy steps to follow.
Tools: serrated floral knife, pruners/garden clippers, 20-24 gauge floral wire, paper scissors
Flowers: pink gerbera daisies, dark pink roses, red pixie carnations, orange tulips, yellow ranunculus, yellow mums, kermit poms, bear grass, blue hydrangeas, purple liatris
A few tips from Megan: Keep the flowers in cold water until you are ready to use them. Strip the stems of excess foliage. Secure smaller bundles of flowers with a rubber band or floral wire. Trim the ends at an angle. You can tweak the flowers as you go until you get the right look. Have fun learning how to arrange flowers for yourself.
This party is for sale in our shop.

Kids going back to school? I think this flower bouquet is a perfect back to school idea or teacher gift.
To make: find a big jar and a glass cup that fits inside. Carefully slide plastic alphabet letters (the kind that are magnets that stick to the fridge) between the jar and the glass cup. Fill the inside cup with water and flowers. Enjoy!

The flowers for this party also match the color scheme. The beautiful and talented Megan Dunford of Persimmon Floral made the two arrangements that I used. She had the genius idea of wrapping the vases in scrapbooking paper and using paper flowers as well. If you look closely at both pictures, you can see all of the different paper flowers that she crafted.
I’m not a florist, but I think the flowers in the arrangements are: white tulips, red spray roses, red carnations, and white stock. And I think Megan painted some china berries white and put them in there too. The paper flowers have a button in the center with floral wire fed through and twisted to make a wire stem.
When adding flowers to a party think outside the box and try adding a touch of whimsy, just for fun.
