DIY Spring Arrangements with Ginger Jars
In spring, ginger jars shapes and all the fresh flowers seem just right. It’s like magic, to take fresh vibrant blooms and set them in these lovely vessels. And these fluid voluptuous jars are stark contrast to the simple blend of nature. Juxtaposed together, an artistic piece arises which is more than suitable for any mantelpiece. Do you want to surprise your dining table or your inn? First, we need to learn about putting these floral wonders together.
Our partners in crime: the flowers. Imagine a lovely mix of tulips, daffodils, and some blush peonies taking center stage right in your living room. Don’t forget the greens either – ferns or eucalyptus to invigorate. They are your little chorus of greenery officials, which can sing in harmony with the stars above. Start out by going to the local farmers’ market. Better yet, find a wildflower meadow if you are adventurous. Have you ever experienced the excitement of discovering a note which is new to you in a piece of music? Maybe snatch something unexpected – a handful of wild daisies or some bluebells, if the season is in or out can happen by chance? Or just plain show your love for sunflower heads–they are truly king among flowers! If you get the chance to get hold of these seasonal beauties, take them home with you.
Ginger jars, with their delightful fat outline and intricate patterns, make up an old-time story which relates. They are the ancient pillars upon which our floral empire now rests, having stood there endlessly. Perhaps you inherited one from grandma, or chanced upon a vintage find at a yard sale. Hold onto that treasure–it is your ace in the hole for setting your floral stage completely grand style.
Here’s a tip: Begin with a base layer. Fill two-thirds of the jar with water, which will provide a lifeline for your blooms. In this way, you bouquets will never be without something to drink. Then start adding greenery. Let them flow over the rim so that at least part of it falls lazily there. Just as a painter might first sweep his brush in long motions, sprinkle in those blooms next. Taller flowers serve as the backdrop, medium height comes next, and finally with short, smaller ones as decorative touches. But, you have to be careful not to be too hasty and end up with nothing but chaos–have some organized spontaneity.
However, what’s life without a little whimsy? Add some string lights or a small tasteful ribbon around the neck of the jar. It’s like giving your outfit that perfect hat or necklace. Subtle touches in the arrangement will improve it considerably. Don’t ponder too much–just relax and let everything work.
There is an inherent joy in displaying your masterpiece. Place it on a surface where it will have its moment in the sun. An area facing the morning sun that collects the full rays is well worth considering. So keep an eye out as to how your flowers bob gently along there. It is like watching a dance–soothing and relaxing. Having friends around? Now your arrangement becomes the talk of the town. Aunt Betty may comment on the colors of dahlias in her thoughts. Obviously, with awe while Uncle Joe talks about the history of ginger jars. No one will argue with your masterpiece and likely all present will feel a twinge of envy.
