Flower Tips For Valentine's Day

Hello Friends,

Rebecca here with Simply Love Floral.  Valentine’s day is right around this corner, we know lots of homes and offices will be filled with lovely floral arrangements.  When you add flowers to any space, you create a sense of warmth and happiness.  If you are anything like me, you want these beautiful arrangements to last as long as possible.  So, here are some tips to keep those gorgeous arrangements looking fresh days from Valentine’s Day.        

·      Remove any leaves from water line down. Leaves increase the form of bacteria which cause them to die faster. If you are taking flowers home to be put in your own vase be sure you begin with a clean container. Cleaning with soap and water will remove bacteria from the container.

·      Don’t leave flowers in car over a long period of time. 

·     Re-cut stems at an angle when taken home & be sure to re-cut every time you change the water.

·     Change water daily if you remember. If not at least every other day and be sure to fill the vase with plenty of water,  flowers get very thirsty.

·       Don't place in air vent or in direct sunlight.

·   Lillies are very popular and beautiful but can be messy. The pollen will cause the flower to wilt and die faster. So as the lilly blooms be sure to remove the pollen CAREFULLY.

·       Love and enjoy your flowers. As you enjoy your flowers remove the wilted and dying ones it will keep your arrangement looking clean.

Hope you enjoy these quick and easy tips.   If you have a favorite tip, please share and hashtag your valentine arrangement on social media at #sheinspireflorals 

Living In Love With M/I Homes

With love being in the air this week, there is no better place to start with LOVE then at home, adding that touch of love right in your own room....Why not?  So we are bringing you a little Living in Love from the master bedroom of one of my favorite one story floor plans with M/I Homes, the Brenham right here in Texas.

Bringing in a little touch of love to this bedroom, really set the mood. It's as simple as adding a splash of red; through fun pillows, a lovely bouquet of roses, and of course you have to include the traditional conversation candies to your Valentine's festivities. You to can add that simple touch in your own bedroom, it doesn't matter if you are married or single. Everyone deserves to live in LOVE!

Coffee & Words:: It's About Love

I don't know about you but February just reminds me of how special it is to be loved and to pour love out to others; through small gestures and of course lots of flowers and conversation hearts. 1 Corinthian's 13:13 reads; So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.

Love comes in so many different forms and learning to just simply tell someone you love them is OK and most of the time those words are so much more powerful than any monetary gift. Love is such a precious thing and it really allows one to feel a certain level of emotion for someone. From a hug, to a simple text message saying I am thinking of you.

This month I hope to spread a little more love and embrace where God is taking me on this journey of living life in LOVE. I hope you plan to do the same! Happy February!


XOXO,

Nycia
