Looking for an easy and beautiful gift for that special woman in your life this Mother’s Day? Here is a cute and easy idea that looks like you spent forever putting together but it’s actually very quick, super simple and cost less than $25 if you go to a florist for an arrangement like this it’s going to cost you anywhere from $60-$100!

picture-111-1I always buy my flowers wholesale so if you have a local flower mart HIT IT UP!

I purchased Pink and Purple Roses, 2 stems of Hydrangea and a block of floral foam and then headed over to Michael’s to buy a fantastic basket on sale for $3.99.

 




picture-511-1First off I used a tbsp lemon juice, a tsp sugar and a tsp white vinegar to preserve my flowers.

I rotated my roses throughout the foam leaving two spaces for my Hydrangea’s.

Last but not lease I finished my arrangement off with card stock from Michael’s, letter stickers and ribbon.
