Pick a Vase, Any Vase!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner I am sure you are wondering how you can quickly spruce up your home before your guests arrive. What not better way to do this than to use what you have in your own home?!

Something that is always good to accessorize with, and in different ways I might add are vases! Some vases make such a statement you don’t even need flowers. There are also some objects like pitchers and champagne buckets that can be used to hold floral arrangements as well. Every space needs some type of nature to bring out some life, especially on Thanksgiving so we selected a few different types for you to explore:  

BUD VASE

One bud and you are good to go! Red carnations work well. Make sure you see just the flower head, no stem.

ARTIFACT VASE

Don’t’ even need flowers. Use as an object. We suggest gathering these from past travels. This is a great way to add a sense of history & amp; culture to a space.

GLASS BOTTLES
Hold onto those glass bottles when you finish a bottle of wine or other beverages. Just rinse them out and fill with your choice of flowers. Irises would look great since they are tall.
