Winter Flower Arrangements

Fresh flowers always set you back a fair bit especially in the Winter Months when Fresh Flowers have to be flown   in from warmer climates. So to save some green and to be a little more "green" try to using plants instead of flowers around the house.
Moss works the best, it is easy to handle and perfect accented with shells or candles.
place Moss on a large round dish , pack the entire surface with moss , place tea lights on the moss and enjoy!
Another easy and chic idea is to take long plant leaves and wedge them into a class vase...make sure you overlap the leafs. Fill Vase 3/4 with water. Place fern or other bushy plant leaf in water. Easy right?




If you have no DIY skills and still want to make a center piece the easiest thing to do is go to your local florist and pick up chrysanthemums balls. Should run about 10 dollars for two balls. They last up to two weeks and can be arranged in a million different ways to give anywhere a sophisticated vibe.
