Flower arrangement | 0 Comment
Puppy Centerpiece Tutorial We helped throw a surprise party for a dog lover and decided to make these centerpieces to use in the restaurant. All it took was floral foam, flowers, greenery and a water dish. We used spider mums and carnations. Regular mums work well, too. All of them last for 3-5 days. Longer if kept cool and watered. And while hydrangea look fantastic, they last maybe a day. You’ll need three spider mums and one bunch of carnations. You’ll also need

Craft flowers Spring flowers: Pretty Spring Blossoms. Isn't Spring magical?

Spring sings in color and the birds mirror her tune. Yes,
