I love using real flowers like gerbera daisies or orchids to place sticking out of a cloth napkin that is folded lengthwise on a table placesetting. It's great to have sitting out when company comes by or for a dinner party. You can get creative with colors and shapes too!

Anything with hydrangeas. A simple bunch of hydrangeas, either one, or a mix of colors is a beautiful spring decorator.

Long branches full of flowers make lovely wall decor! Hang some pretty pictures from the branches for a full spring effect!

Tiered pots filled with moss, herbs and tiny narcissii. The green tones of the leaves and the yellow and white of the flowers say "Spring is here" and it smells wonderful too

I am planning on using flowers as my centerpieces for my wedding. I am using old tree branches and moss. I plan to hang fresh flowers and crystal from the branches. The mock-up is so pretty, it would make a great accent for any party. :)

i love lilacs. we have some at my office in a large "amoeba-shaped" glass vase with some black stones. i love how it freshens up the space [sight and smell, of course]. we also will put small glass vases with one or two flowers on each of our desks. it always makes me smile.

I absolutely love violet colored Lisianthus. I usually gather a few clean baby food jars, add a little bit of water and add a few of the flowers. They look absolutely adorable because their small frame fits perfectly. The rich color also pops instantly, and I place them on my dining room table around a large white candle to remind me that spring is here.

The daffodil is the perfect spring flower: yellow, soft, delicate. A reminder to be joyful, open the windows, dust the furniture and experience every beautiful day spring has to offer. I believe you should have at least one flower display in each room to freshen the atmosphere, clean the air, and most importantly, relax you. I like to set up 3 or 4 in POM glasses and spread them throughout my home. It's the best way to live in the moment, the season, the pleasure of life.

It's the easiest motivator to open those windows, dust the furniture and enjoy every beautiful day spring has to bring!

One of my favorite floral trends is the re-emergence of the carnation. A whole bunch of monotone carnations can actually look quite elegant. very budget friendly.
