I always try to pick up fresh flowers on my farmer's market weekends. Luckily, I live in California where there is always something in bloom, and now that it's spring, there are loads of colorful options. But despite being crafty in other areas, flower arranging has never been my strong suit. Here are a few presentation ideas that make it look so easy and effortlessly pretty.
Enjoy, and maybe take a minute to arrange your own bowl of flowers this weekend.

Obviously all flowers need water. how do you do that with containers that probably shouldn't get wet, like the first ones?
Does anyone know what the peach/orange flowers in the first photo are, that have petals that create sort of little cups? So gorgeous!
Just answered my own question: pom-pom dahlias :)
@Pi, the photo says they're teacups, so I would expect you can get them wet. I have a wooden tankard that I use when I work the Ren Faire and it can also handle water. If you use the right wood and/or the right finish, it handles water just fine.
If you couldn't get them wet, line them with that press and seal stuff, maybe? Or if they're big enough, put a glass or vase inside the other one.
I love the tea tins!
T! I didn't realize you were blogging on here! Very cool :-D
