Simple, affordable, natural, and festive! Easy, natural and affordable: 3 words we don’t hear often enough this time of year. Well today’s DIY project is all of those things and beautiful too. I came up with this pear and cedar table decor at the last minute out of necessity of forgetting to plan anything to dress up the dining table. Since it’s middle of winter, I didn’t have flowers around the house; I thought about grouping an array of candles together in the middle, but then I saw the pears on my kitchen window sill above the sink and thought–PEARS IN A BOWL! It sounds silly, but that’s where the idea started. I had some leftover evergreen sprigs from the garland I made for the living room, and they’re perfect for dressing up the bowl. Materials: Evergreen sprigs like cedar and pine 3 Bosc pears Footed bowl Arrange evergreen sprigs in the footed bowl so that they form a continuous ring of greens and look similar to a wreath. (Sprigs should all lay in the same direction.) Arrange pears in bowl […]

Floral expert, Molly of Studio Emme, teaches us how to create beautiful, sculptural centerpieces as Thanksgiving table decor! Want to do something modern, fun, and unexpected with your Thanksgiving table decor this year? Learn how to make these sculptural arrangements from my floral design friend and brainchild behind Studio Emme, Molly Yee. These arrangements use a few less flowers than your typical arrangement allowing the iconic blooms (Molly’s term for showstopping, statement flowers) to really shine. Floral frogs placed in small bowls and plates serve as the foundation, and give the impression that the stems defy gravity by standing on end. If you’ve never heard of floral frogs, they’re essentially round metal weights with a series of pins to affix flowers to. Molly’s flower shops, Studio Emme in the Twin Cities carry a great selection of unique iconic blooms like ranunculus, mums, peonies, etc. that grocery stores just don’t have, and you can buy them by the stem, so you don’t need to buy big bunches of several kinds of flowers, especially if you’re only making a few centerpieces. Let’s get down to brass tacks, shall we? Materials: Floral frogs Small bowls […]
