Get some Greenery & Bring some flowers

Green is the colour that soothes your mind, and you don’t have to go to a florist to get some leaves. Leaves are a sustainable way for decorations and the most beautiful part about leaves is that they change color. They can go from soothing greens to bright yellow to warm Terracotta.

Everyone talks about flowers, but which flowers? This is the question we must ask. 

Now, if you like fragrances one must go for White Tuberoses for the centre, some Jasmine next to the plates. And if you are not the one for fragrances, Big blooms of Roses and Orchids to the centre of the table and single flowers next to each table will be best suited.

Dark-coloured flowers bring a sophisticated and elegant vibe while light-coloured flowers like yellow lilies and carnations are great for a lighthearted get-together.

Cut the flower stem diagonally, so that it absorbs maximum water and add an iota of sugar with coconut oil to keep the flowers fresh and free from fungus!
