True story:<\/strong> I used to feel like I couldn’t have fresh flowers around my home because it wasn’t in the budget. \u00a0And the reality is that those amazing arrangements from the florist still aren’t in my budget.<\/p>\n

But eliminating a coffee once a week to spend $5 on some pretty flowers…it can be in my budget and it probably can be in yours as well! \u00a0I’m going to share my three favorite tips<\/strong> for taking inexpensive grocery store flowers and turning them into intentional and thoughtful points of grace in your home.<\/p>\n

Tip One for Your Summer Flowers<\/h2>\n

What container can I use to hold my summer flowers?<\/em><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tip One” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

I’m going to share my favorite tip first because it’s just too fun.<\/strong> \u00a0And before you even purchase your flowers, you need to know where and how you plan to display them. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This is my favorite tip because, well, you know how much I love a good vintage find. \u00a0And even more…and good vintage find that functions for our home! \u00a0You can find my favorite tips for vintage hunting over on THIS<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>post or THIS<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>one too!<\/p>\n

A vintage container to hold my summer flowers is considered highly functional! \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I’m sure you can agree!<\/p>\n

Vintage Flower Containers<\/h2>\n

These are always on my vintage hunting list because I know it is something I will use over and over, season after season, and year after year. \u00a0I love to rotate them around my home because changing just the container and flowers or greenery on my kitchen island is magic. \u00a0The whole space feels fresh and alive!<\/p>\n

My favorite kinds of vintage containers to hold my summer flowers are French finds. \u00a0They are usually a little more of an investment, but I know I will love them and use them more than most of my other containers<\/strong>. \u00a0I rounded up a few that are similar to my favorites and linked them for you HERE<\/a>,<\/strong><\/span> HERE<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and HERE<\/a>!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You can see what I mean about investments, but these are the three vintage containers that I use most often for my flowers. \u00a0I use them year-round and they are worth every penny for the way I like to decorate!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Summer-Flowers-7-768×1024.jpg” title_text=”Summer Flowers (7)” admin_label=”IMG” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tip One” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for some quick and easy containers with that vintage inspiration and budget-friendly tag,<\/strong> you’re in luck! \u00a0There are so many great reproductions out there to fit every budget and you can make your summer flowers look amazing by picking up a stoneware pitcher<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> (love the vintage pottery look!) or a vintage-inspired crock<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/span>\u00a0These are great options for that vintage look!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to shop your own home too!<\/strong> \u00a0Pull out that cute pitcher that belonged to your grandma or the bucket that got pushed to the corner of the garage! \u00a0Look for chippy wooden containers (we will talk about how to make those work for your summer flowers!) and forgotten jars.<\/p>\n

Without stepping outside of your home,<\/strong> I expect you have something you can use to make your grocery store flowers look extra beautiful!<\/p>\n

Tip Two for Your Summer Flowers<\/h2>\n

What can I use for free with my summer flowers?<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tip Two” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

Did someone just say\u00a0“free”<\/strong>? \u00a0Yep! \u00a0My second favorite tip for making your summer flowers look special won’t cost you a dime!<\/p>\n

Instead of buying greenery to go with your grocery store flowers, try using whatever is growing around your yard or neighborhood! \u00a0I like to use branches from the trees along our driveway and during the summer, I especially love using palm fronds to give my flowers a little extra summer vibe.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Summer-Flowers-11-768×1024.jpg” title_text=”Summer Flowers (11)” admin_label=”IMG” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tip Two” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

And I’ve been known to cut greenery from along the roadside<\/strong> (just to be clear, NOT from someone else’s yard!) or ask a friend if I could use a couple stems from a specific tree in their yard. \u00a0My sister-in-law has a gorgeous, huge magnolia tree and I love to cut a few branches to go in my fall decor!<\/p>\n

Tip: Keep a pair of clippers in your car!<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0You never know when you’ll come across some pretty greenery…or even wildflowers…along the way!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Tip Three for Your Summer Flowers<\/h2>\n

Think s m a l l.<\/em><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tip Three” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

Kind of a strange tip, I know.<\/strong> \u00a0But I think sometimes the biggest impact from fresh flowers can come in the small ways. \u00a0A single hydrangea stem in a vintage jar<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>can have the most refreshing impact in a room. \u00a0And let’s break that down…<\/p>\n

Say you spend $5.99 for bunch of three hydrangea stems at Trader Joe’s<\/strong>. \u00a0Divide those among three different vintage jars or pitchers, tuck in a sprig of greenery from your yard, and add to your kitchen sink, coffee table, and bedroom nightstand.<\/p>\n

You just added a refreshing touch and uplifting feeling to three rooms of your home. \u00a0For the price of a Venti Starbucks<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See how thinking small can make your summer flowers spread joy throughout your home? \u00a0I love a big, grand arrangement as much as the next person. \u00a0But I often find that those little vases, scattered throughout our home, bring me the most joy!<\/p>\n

I did a round up of vintage containers that I like to use for those small arrangements for you too. \u00a0One of my favorites for a single stem are vintage bottles like THIS<\/a>\u00a0or THIS<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Give it a try! \u00a0I think you’ll have so much fun!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So the next time you’re at the grocery store, take a moment and a $5 to treat yourself.<\/strong> \u00a0You may choose bright and cheerful blooms or perhaps sunflower stems for these late summer weeks. \u00a0Maybe the little filler flowers that mimic wildflowers will be just the thing for your kitchen sink. \u00a0Or you can splurge on a dozen white roses and scatter them throughout your home.<\/p>\n
