If the way to a man’s heart is food, the path to a woman’s is F L O W E R S
Girls of all ages L O V E flowers
FTD provided these splendid blooms so we can create some instant magic for Mom…
A dessert display with favorite treats, store bought or homemade, is sure to make Mom feel special…
Even if you can’t send her to the spa, you can
Pamper her with a private retreat and a tray with blooms, a light snack and her favorite magazine…
A quick vignette with some favorite books and photos will bring a big smile
AND of course set a special table!
If you have beautiful fresh flowers, it’s easy peasy to set a stunning table
This table is set with a mix of everyday colored plates and place mats, and things found around the house to match the bright flowers
Layered placemats
Colorful flatware
Grab some citrus to complement the bright blooms and add even more freshness
No matching napkins?
No problem, look in your linen closet… how about colorful wash cloths
Roll them into “blooms” and add a fresh green leaf
I inserted a straw “curly” just for fun
And for a added touch of celebration, Yay for Moms!
A single bloom graces Mom’s place
The gold dot organza was part of the flower packaging, so I used it too, as part of the centerpiece
It matched the Gold Leaf Glasses
holding the napkin blooms
Add some pillows to keep Mom comfy…
Check out the incredible selection of flowers, vases, and stunning arrangements for Mom at FTD here
This is one of their luxury bouquets, which came in a sturdy box, the stems carefully swaddled and the base wrapped in a wet sponge to keep them fresh. Included with the flowers was a gorgeous glass oval vase, protected in bubble wrap. The packaging was almost as pretty as the flowers!
All you have to do is put water in the vase, unwrap the flowers, and stick them in!
They have done all the work for you!
All set for Mother’s Day!

Tip for making flowers last: Water is oxygen to flowers, give them fresh water every few days and snip a little off the stems. You can add a little lemon lime soda to water if you don’t have any flower preservative, flowers love a little sip of soda!
