I absolutely love having fresh flowers in my home.
There is just something about seeing flowers when I walk into my kitchen that puts a smile on my face. I also love when my Kroger marks down big bouquets of flowers because it give me permission to splurge and treat myself.
When I saw this fabulous bouquet with lilies marked down to $8,
I figured it would make a great Lilly Pulitzer inspired arrangement.

Get it- Lily & Lilly?!?
And since Lilly Pulitzer started her brand with a juice stand,
adding some citrus is the finishing touch!
Here are my tips on how I turn grocery store flower bouquets into custom flower arrangements in 5 easy steps.
1. First, I open the bouquet and remove all of the filler greenery.
2. Then, I sort the stems by color.
3. Next, I remove any stems that are filler pieces or that don’t fit my color scheme. This bouquet also had some purple daisies and yellow carnations that I removed and used in a separate arrangement.
4. Finally, I build out the bouquet stem by stem until I get the right blend of colors and fullness.
5. For extra interest, I add rocks, shells, fruit, whatever, to the bottom to help hide the stems and give the vase a little something extra.
If you are channeling Lilly and want to make a citrus arrangement of your own, here are some awesome inspiration arrangements!

That's a great idea filling the bottom of the vase with fruit to cover the stems, and it adds so much color. Yours is just as pretty as the pros'! Take care – Dawn @ We Call It Junkin
