Soft Blooms, Clearance Finds & A Little Creativity
🌿 The Ritual
Every week—usually Saturday or Sunday—I pick up flowers.
Now let me be real with you… I’m usually at Kroger, Tom Thumb, or Albertsons. Nothing fancy.
And sometimes I go in with a whole vision.
Like “okay I want this flower, this color, this vibe…”
But here’s the thing about grocery store flowers…
they are NOT going to have what you imagined in your head.
Like… ever 😂
So I’ve learned to pivot.
If I can build something cute from what they have—cool.
If not?
Baby… we heading straight to the clearance section.
💐 This Week’s Haul (Clearance Queen Edition)
This week? Oh we were in our budget floral designer era.
2 bouquets of hyacinth (pink + white)
1 bouquet of orange spray roses
1 mixed bouquet (a little bit of everything)
1 full-priced mixed bouquet (because balance ✨)
Everything else? $2.80 each.
Now don’t get me wrong…
some of these flowers were on their last leg.
But still cute. Still usable. Still had a lil life left in them.
And that’s all I need.
🎨 No Plan, Just Vibes
When I get home, I don’t overthink it.
I unwrap everything, lay it all out, and start grouping by color.
Because one thing about me?
I am a color scheme girl.
Unless the flowers are super fresh and premium, I’m not doing 15 different colors fighting for attention.
We’re keeping it cute, cohesive, and intentional.
Usually:
2–3 colors max
Similar textures grouped together
Whatever feels right
🏺 Bud Vases = The Real MVP
Let’s talk about the real star of the show:
bud vases.
Because listen…
When flowers are limited or not the freshest, trying to force one big arrangement can be stressful.
So instead?
I break everything up.
2–3 stems per vase
Multiple mini arrangements
Spread them around the house
And somehow it still looks like I did something.
This week I had:
Bud vases on the coffee table
Larger vases for fuller arrangements
And honestly… I might be a bud vase girl for life now.
♻️ Real Life Tip (Don’t Waste Your Flowers)
If I have flowers from last week that still look decent?
They’re getting reused.
I don’t throw flowers away until:
petals are falling off
stems start acting funny
or they start smelling… you know 😭
Until then?
You’re part of the new arrangement, babe.
🌸 The Arrangements
🌸 Soft Pink Moment
This one is giving soft, calm, “I have my life together” energy.
Pink hyacinth
Little white daisy accents
Very light, very airy.
She’s not doing too much—and she doesn’t have to.
🌸 Mixed Mood (A Little Bit of Everything)
Okay THIS one… she got personality.
Purple statice
Deep pink/red daisies
Alstroemeria (the white with purple details 👀)
White Hyacinth mixed in
She’s colorful, but still balanced.
A little chaotic—but in a cute way.
🌸 Sunshine Pop
This one is my happy girl.
Yellow daisies

Baby’s breath
Very bright. Very cheerful.
This is the one that wakes the room up.
