\"3<\/a><\/p>\n

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought I would share some different and unique ways to give flowers. \u00a0It isn’t always about having the biggest, trendiest, most professionally designed arrangement, and I hope to prove to you that a little creativity can go a very long way.<\/p>\n

Case in point, I used this bouquet of grocery store flowers.<\/p>\n

\"Flower<\/a><\/p>\n

“Grocery store flowers” has a connotation of being generic and boring, but it all depends on what you do with them and how they’re displayed.<\/p>\n

\"Flowers<\/a><\/p>\n

1) Display them in an interesting container<\/strong><\/span>– How adorable is this mini mailbox??? \u00a0I came across it in the Target dollar spot section (goldmine). \u00a0I cut out a heart from red card stock and wrote “Sending you my love” to keep consistent with the mail theme, then taped it on the front cover. \u00a0I cut down and wrapped a couple of the flowers from the bouquet in blue paper and stuck them inside.<\/p>\n

\"Mini<\/a><\/p>\n

So. \u00a0Cute.<\/p>\n

2) Arrange them around food<\/strong><\/span>– \u00a0This idea was inspired by my boyfriend. \u00a0Sometimes, during the frequent late nights I spend working on my blog, he’ll bring me a cup of tea. \u00a0It\u00a0always<\/em> makes me smile. \u00a0It’s the little things that get me, and tying this little flower to the teabag string would be such a special touch.<\/p>\n

\"Tea<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you were wondering, I did in fact eat the cookies and drink the tea after photographing. \u00a0I really enjoyed having the little flower dangle off the side of the cup. \u00a0Oddly more than I thought I would. \u00a0Seriously, the little things.<\/p>\n

\"Balloon<\/a><\/p>\n

3) Create a garland<\/strong><\/span>– How often do you get balloons? \u00a0For me, it’s rarely, if ever, and I think tying flower heads to the string of a balloon packs a wow-factor punch. \u00a0This probably wouldn’t travel well, but would definitely look great wrapped around something in the home to surprise your SO. \u00a0Or, just what’s in the photo above would be great to come home to as well :). \u00a0Attach a card, display it around a gift, lots of possibilities.<\/p>\n

All the flowers I used were from that one grocery store bouquet. \u00a0We’ve seen now that they can be so much more special outside of the plastic wrapping, right? \u00a0I did have some leftovers that were broken off and shared how I arranged them on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wonder, do you ever give flowers to the men in your life? \u00a0I don’t think I’ve ever given flowers to anyone other than my gal pals. \u00a0All the ideas I shared would be something I’d do for them, or would love to have given to me ;).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
