You know why homes in magazines always look dreamy? Yes, they’re spotless and styled especially for the photoshoot, but one detail that always stands out is a flower arrangement. It instantly adds life to a space. The same goes for a table setting – add some flowers and greenery and it instantly looks festive!
You can use any container to create a pretty flower arrangement, including jars, bottles and, of course, vases. The same goes for what you put inside: combine grocery store flowers with some greenery from the back yard, and you’ve got yourself an affordable alternative to fancy bouquets.
