  • I went to Trader Joe's and bought $15 worth of flowers to make this arrangement. Showing you how to do the same, and how easy it is to pair grocery store flowers with yard clippings for a gorgeous centerpiece for your home, event or party!

    if you strip the leaves off the stems of your greens before placing them in the water, it helps to keep bacteria from forming in your water that then shortens the life of your flowers... beautiful arrangement!!!

    I love Trader Joes flowers. Our TJ's donates their leftover bouquets to a local nursing home. One day I brought a friend to TJ's, who has some mobility problems. I was helping her shop, but then an employee stepped up and offered to assist her, allowing me to do my own shopping.. Before we left, the employee gifted Shirley with a bouquet of flowers! Thank you for this really good tutorial. I am now a subscriber (and sharing this).

      WOW! Makes me tear up. What a sweet story! I hope your friend felt really special. Good for TJ's. I had 4 surgeries on my leg due to an ankle break & staph, and I was truly amazed how many very good ppl there are in the world; they went out of their way to help me, give tips & sometimes tell me their own story. That said, I can't imagine how hard it must be to have permanent mobility problems. I'll pray for her. ❤🙏

    I realize you say you miss planning for weddings, and I realize that I'm not paying you directly, but you have no idea how much videos like yours are helping me right now.
    Most of my fianceé's family is overseas, and it's going to be really expensive to fly people out.
    For what it's worth, this tutorial makes me feel like I have a chance at saving money on my wedding day, and it gives me hope. You have my deepest of gratitude.

    I love Carnation's... I remember sometimes, with my babysitting money I would go buy my mom a carnation with baby breath and Greenery. She would put it in a Bud vase in the middle of the table. That was in the seventies.

Totally agree about the flowers at Trader Joe’s- they are a really nice assortment and affordable. Thank you for all of the great instruction!
