Flowers Around the House with “Cream in your Coffee” – one of J’s Bouquets

I love having flowers around the house… and not just in one specific place… I have places for different types of arrangements- and different styles- so today- let’s take one of J’s Bouquets- “Cream with your Coffee” and make a few different types of arrangements.
My Grandpa always insisted that the cream be poured into this coffee cup first, and the coffee poured gently there-on. He made this request everywhere he went- and I would watch the coffee swirl together with the cream to make an incredible café au lait color. This bouquet has those same colors. To this day, I love coffee with lots of cream- and I like my flowers the same way- creamy and dreamy!
I’ll make a contemporary arrangement in flower foam- and we’ll use a gold colored pedestal vase… and then a couple of metal bowls- for the remaining flowers. I can place these three bouquets around the house- so that I have the health and wellness benefits of flowers all over the house! Enjoy!
