$38.00 (for all the orchids shown!) and 30 minutes later...
Looking to add a little luxe to your space? Looking for a hostess gift? Orchids are such a beautiful touch to any room. Are you like me, do you enhance orchids that you've scored for a good price?
Beautiful job! I also dress up my store bought finds...it's amazing what a pot (that can be used again and again to tie into my decor) or some beautiful ribbon (for a hostess or birthday gift) can do to dress up a simple purchase. I also love to buy fresh pots of herbs every spring and put them in simple lime green pots - it's an early start on spring that looks great in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteorchids are beautiful! I had them on little plates floating in water at the tables at our wedding <3
ReplyDeleteSoooo agree! Orchids are my absolute favorite and the best part is if you show them a little love, they stick around a while. Love your beautiful transformation and what a deal! Great idea to go to HD for orchids..who knew!
ReplyDeleteCannot live without beautiful orchids. And, yours look lovely. xx's
ReplyDeleteAdore orchids - they have such an elegant look that goes with any type of design. I unfortunately don't seem to be able to keep them that long - but at $38 perhaps I could try again. Maybe you should do a follow up post on how to keep them and make them last!!
ReplyDeletePerfect picture - sent it to my Mom - she loves pink and orchids....and Home Depot! Jennifer jennsthreegaces pop over sometime!
ReplyDeleteI have never thought to do this...your examples are gorgeous!

Love the orchid in the urn. Makes it that much more regal. I've not had really good luck with orchids in the past but just recently decided to try my luck again. Bought it in late December and still thriving. That's a record for me. Just maybe I'll hold on to this one.
ReplyDeleteLisa I have also found gorgeous orchids at Home Depot, amazing isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful arrangement!!

I adore orchids and these pale pink ones are stunning. I also love to add the green moss as it is a beautiful contrast to the colour of the orchid. Lisa you should be a florist ... gorgeous job!

Gorgeous! I have orchids in my house at all times and it is a very favorite hostess gift. Always elegant. Lasts forever!
ReplyDeleteLove your tips about keeping the moss and raffia on hand and then you can pick up the inexpensive ones and embellish them yourself.

Simply lovely! I tend to get my orchids from Whole Foods and spend a pretty penny...off to Home Depot from now on! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best with the applicable tips! Love that, and I'll let you know how mine comes out when I attempt to jazz up the little beauties. Hopefully it won't look like a raffia straight jacket on my table :D Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOrchards are so beautiful... I love how you displayed them! xo
ReplyDeleteWe keep lucite stakes and orchids ties on hand for the occasion (not often!) when we score some real ones - love your use of white urns for yours (may have to be inspired by your look!).

I love the whimsical, gorgeous look of orchids! Great job! I also love the room they're in- those shades are beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa, those look amazing! I am hitting up Home Depot this weekend in hopes of finding some beauties like yours. I heard Costco also carries them!
ReplyDeleteLove what you have done with your orchids! Trader Joe's also sells them for a fraction of the price. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDIVINE. and that window. it is all so lovely!
ReplyDeletei find mine at Lowe's sometimes.
Oh how beautiful! You are really so very talented! They look great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! They also have great roses there! It sounds silly to go to Home Depot for flowers (fresh, not potted) but they have nice bunches of roses for way less than the florist.
ReplyDeleteOrchids always look so elegant and yours grouped together look so lovely and with the white it is so fresh and crisp. I got all excited today when I noticed that my orchid has 5 new blooms on their way!!! Happy weekend, KS
ReplyDeleteLove orchids - plus cannot believe how long they last! Yours look even more fab. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOrchids are really beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove orchids! I actually have a faux one from Williams Sonoma Home that everyone thinks is real! Love the real one though!
ReplyDeleteI love your tabletop idea! So beautiful!
