Spring is (finally) in the air, and this mama has flowers on the brain. I always find that this is the perfect time of year to give my home a much-needed colorful update, and there’s no easier way to do that than with DIY floral arrangements. Look, with two little kids and an ever-growing to-do list to keep up with, I find it nearly impossible to stay on top of all the details in life, but there’s something about fresh floral arrangements that just infuse any space with joy and beauty, instantly putting my mind at ease in the process. I don’t have time for complicated centerpieces, so I rely on simple yet chic inspirations.
Whether you want to grace your dining table with peonies for a get-together or add a bit of color to your nightstand with daffodils, these easy DIY floral arrangements will breathe new life into any room. (But no matter which florals are your fave, be sure to trim the ends of the stems and change the water every few days to make your arrangement last as long as possible.)

Baby's Breath in a White Pitcher
Is there anything more simple and sweet than this? You can be fancy and call them by their proper name, Gypsophila, or you can be basic like me and go with Baby's Breath... because it turns out a white flower by any other name is just as sweet.
All you need to pull off this clean, fresh look is a white pitcher (or any simple vessel) and a big old bunch of these beauties.

Buds In Assorted Milk Glass Vases

Tall Greens From The Grocery Store
This one only looks intimidating because of the height. The blogger's tip is to grab a brunch of green stems from Whole Foods (or another quality store), which tend to last longer than standard flowers. I love the look! And this is another easy, throw-and-go DIY floral arrangement, perfect for busy moms.
