Tulip Branches

Since the rain has stopped we can see what good it has done! Our flowers have been watered. Soon you will see the lilacs and tulip trees bursting out of their bud cocoons! Chicago has already been bursting with beauty. Don't wait, STOP look at the bounty of spring!



For example these blooming branches of the pear trees!

Lanterns

Kaitlyn McQuaid created this floral combo with a great mix of greens and oranges! These roses are amazing they get as big as your fist! She also used the Chinese lanterns which lighten up this arrangement and give it great height.

Long Lasting Flower Arrangement

We are often asked to make longer lasting flower arrangements. We understand wanting to cheer someone up for a long time! Using floating succulents is one way in which we can help. After the arrangement is done these little guys will last for months on a countertop. They can also live longer if you re-plant them in soil. The best part is the limited care they need, you only have to water them once a month. Plus they are amazing with all these flowers and this really strong stone vase!

Simply Fetching

This arrangement is on our website and it was so stunning we had to figure out who made it. Texture is the name of this little composition! There is a great use of delphinium and roses, it is engaging with just the right amount of color. So we found out who made it, Martha Brummett, created this arrangement. She and her arrangements have many shared qualities, which are splendid, down-to-earth and simply fetching!

The Tease

This jaw-dropping arrangement was created by Paul Munro; isn't it stunning? We love thinking "outside of the vase" hence the awesome use of birch bark. We may even ask you: "would you like a birch bark cone with that?" I think I can speak for all of us here at Marguerite Gardens by saying we have been teased enough. Come on Spring we need an abundance of lilacs, chartreuse hydrangeas and jasmine for an arrangement like this!
