Mother's Day

The day has come to thank your Mother for all she has done!

We thought we could show you two arrangement ideas.

White

Peachy

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!

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!

What is the First Flower of Spring?

The hellebores which bloom even if there is a snow cover.

We are so excited here at Marguerite Gardens to see the signs that spring will arrive in a few months! Ammie Brod designed this exquisite cluster of lilacs, deep pink hellebores, brunia, lysimachia and sumac! The brown vase is perfect for a bedside table or the bathroom, come see the other colors and designs!

Almost forgot to mention the new line we received this week, Further, an up-cycling company. This company uses recycled glycerin from cooking oils and the scent is of olive, bergamot and exotic grasses; trust us, you will love it!

bouquet of the week: pretty pastels

Paul made this bouquet of the week. The antique pitcher on it's own is gorgeous, but the subtle pastels in the flowers make it really sweet.
