Embrace the summer vibe by jazzing up your entryway with some floral magic! But why settle for ordinary glass vases when you can experiment with something extraordinary? Let's take inspiration from none other than Meghan Markle and Martha Stewart, who've got us thinking outside the box when it comes to flower arrangements.
First up, Meghan. She recently wowed us with her creative flower arrangement at home, featuring roses casually arranged in a stately, cream-colored urn. Traditionally used for grand flower displays, Meghan's innovative approach proves that urns are versatile enough for convenient indoor centerpieces.
Coincidentally, she's not the only one breaking the traditional vase mold this week. While covering celebrity styles, we stumbled upon Martha Stewart's footed compote bowls being utilized as unconventional vases. Similarly styled to Meghan's urn, Martha's choice dates back decades, but her lessons remain as relevant today as they were then.
