Paperwhites and Anemones (pictured above) are my two favorite flowers to use this time of year. I recently came across a quote which perfectly expresses my sentiments regarding flower arranging.
"For me, flowers should never be pretentious and lord their beauty over everything else around them. I like to pay attention to my flowers, but I don’t care for all the fuss. So I’m not really an arrangements girl … I like my flowers trimmed pretty close to the flower itself. And I like to see them tightly massed in short bowls."

Nice call on the anemones…I’ve never considered them for the holidays but they’re so playful & fun that I think they’d fit well into my decorating scheme! I’ve got paperwhites and amaryllis on well on their way to blooming around the time my parents arrive and I think that I’ll try and find some anemones!
I love this sentiment too. I don’t really have a flower arranging approach, but if I did… this would be it.
