Nothing says spring more than to see daffodils and tulips popping up, and forsythias, dogwoods and cherry blossoms in bloom. But my idea of welcoming spring is to put a wreath full of flowers on my front door. On one of my many visits to my favorite store, Home Goods, I snagged an empty grapevine door basket that was screaming "buy me"! I had been looking for something different to put on my door and was really excited when I saw it. I started thinking about how I would decorate it and what type of flowers I would use. I thought about using purple pansies or yellow forsythias or even pink cherry blossoms, but on a trip to Michael's, I chose a lavender spray that I fell in love with. I also picked up grosgrain ribbon in a matching lavender polka dots.
The flower basket was easy to put together. First, placing floral foam in the bottom (there is a plastic liner), sticking the lavender flowers in and adding some purple balled greenery as a filler.
I love the simple beauty of this door basket. It looks really great on my frontdoor and it lets me and guests know that Spring Is Here!
G, it's beautiful! I love that the colors and that it's not a traditional wreath. Beautiful job! ;) And hurray - I'm your first follower! Welcome to blogging!
