Any decorative glass from the kitchen will do!<\/li>\n<li>The kitchen table might be the best place for flowers, because it\u2019s where people gather together. Stop by a florist or supermarket, where you\u2019ll find a wide selection of flowers from which to choose.<\/li>\n<li>For an easy, elegant table decoration, set a series of crystal vases on a fabric runner. Place fresh flowers in each of the vases and surround them with greenery.<\/li>\n<li>Float two or three blooms, such as open roses or gerbera daisies in a favorite crystal bowl.<\/li>\n<li>In the foyer, create a space to hang your keys that also includes a weekly vase of flowers. It will be the last place you see on your way out the door and the first you see on your way back inside.<\/li>\n<li>Go big and bold for open spaces. An abundant arrangement of lilies, gladiolus, hydrangea or any large blooms create an inviting environment for an expansive entryway or dining room.<\/li>\n<li>A bouquet can also perk up personal spaces such as bathrooms and bedrooms.<\/li>\n<li>A bud vase with a simple cluster of flowers hidden in the center of a clear bubble bowl filled with potpourri is the perfect way to create a welcoming atmosphere in a guest room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Rule line Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Styles and Trends Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Styles and Trends<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Experiment to match a room\u2019s d\u00e9cor with one the hottest flower trends \u2013 monobotanic (arrangements of all one type of flower) and monochromatic (using all one color palette, such as a range of pinks).<\/li>\n<li>For a contemporary look, group several vases together holding just one or two stems. If you\u2019re using your own container, be creative! Use champagne glasses, china pieces or other items that fit the d\u00e9cor of the room.<\/li>\n<li>Old water pitchers, antique teapots, classic urns or even tattered clay pots make fascinating containers for a casually placed flower arrangement.<\/li>\n<li>Choose soothing colors, like blues and greens, to create a tranquil feeling or bright reds and oranges for a more sensual arrangement. Yellows and peaches are nurturing and pinks and lavenders are romantic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;nightstand-&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/AboutFlowers_Room_nightStand_pinkOrange.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;3 vases-&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/AboutFlowers_HomeDecreating_Location600.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Maximizing a Budget Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Maximizing a Budget<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Care for your flowers to keep them lasting. Before you put the flowers in the vase, remove all leaves below the waterline, and include flower food for extra nutrients. If the water becomes cloudy after a few days, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife or scissors.<\/li>\n<li>Flowers have different life spans. Once some flowers begin to fade, remove them, and transfer the longer-lasting flowers to a smaller vase to place elsewhere in your home.<\/li>\n<li>Shop strategically. Know what\u2019s on special at the supermarket, and ask your florist for the freshest varieties in stock that day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWhether experimenting on your own or eliciting the help of a floral expert, bringing flowers into your home will brighten your mood as well as your surroundings,\u201d added Cole.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=&#8221;Sidebar-ALL&#8221; global_module=&#8221;1354&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; orientation=&#8221;right&#8221; area=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; disabled=&#8221;off&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on||&#8221; remove_border=&#8221;off&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; body_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Roses Carnations Image-&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/01\/AboutFlowers_OutDoors_flowers_RosesCarnations.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;Section&#8221; global_module=&#8221;148&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; specialty=&#8221;off&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; inner_shadow=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f7fce3&#8243;][et_pb_row global_parent=&#8221;148&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image global_parent=&#8221;148&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;logo Image&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/SAF_Consumer_logo_600.png&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243;][et_pb_text global_parent=&#8221;148&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;SAF Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Aboutflowers.com is hosted by the Society of American Florists, the U.S. floral industry trade association.<\/p>\n<p>Click below\u00a0to find a local SAF member florist to send flowers, roses and gifts for delivery.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button global_parent=&#8221;148&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;find a florist Button&#8221; button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/nationalfloristdirectory.com\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Find A Local Florist&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221;][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location, Location, Location From her New York City design studio, interior and floral designer Rebecca Cole is a pro at creating personal spaces in which her clients love to live.
