Friday Favorites - Flowers!

Spring is certainly in the air, and with every corner flower store proudly displaying their goods, we can't help but stop and pick up some of our favorite blooms. In lieu of sending you all a gorgeous bouquet (which we would love to do!) we'll share with you some lovely images of our personal favorites...

Sybil's Pick

Gardenia

There is nothing like a gardenia to bring back the nostalgic nature of my grandmother's garden. I love the fragrance and simplicity. In essence, they symbolize grace and elegance. One of my favorite candles is Diptyque Gardenia fragrance.

Hydrangeas

I am a purist at heart and have loved white hydrangeas for as long as I can remember. they look perfect alone or grouped with other white flowers. The decor in my home is fairly modern and these flowers do a lovely job of softening up a room. Elegant, luxurious, and perfectly simple in their beauty.

Peonies

Maybe it's because they are only available for a limited time every year, but the Peonies is such a special treat. Like the holiday drinks at Starbucks, I am giddy when they arrive and so sad to see them go. Delicate yet hearty, these gorgeous flowers represent Spring to me.
