I found the most beautiful Valentine flower arrangement at Michaels in Peoria, IL. The florist there is really very talented. I know other Michaels could have similar arrangements but her's always stand out somehow to me. Look at the lovely heart shape she made with the greenery behind the twisting roses.
Just lovely! Now the price was not so lovely. They had it marked at $120.00. I wouldn't spend that much on flowers in a single arrangement. I priced the individual components and the cost was $50 not including the glue and spanish moss. Then Michaels did what they always do as the holiday approaches, they dropped the prices by 50%. Now I did consult with my husband as this was still pretty expensive at $60. He agreed that I could buy it. I know the flowers look pink in this picture but they are actually a very lovely deep red.
I put it on a table at church that sits just outside my office. I smiled every time I went past it. It was also the entrance where attendees for the Valentine banquet came in to hang up their coats. I added hundreds of Christmas lights under the table cloth as I had seen on Pinterest. I know I have a picture of it all lighted up but do you think I could find it today? But when I do, I will post it.
We had the banquet catered and it was very fun.
We did some special napkin folding. Again I found samples on Pinterest and we folded the guys' places with a free flowing red heart shape. It made me think of a water color heart. We folded the girls' places with a rose bud. I think my daughter must have the photos on her phone. I will check with her before I post. I really am bad at getting pictures of the stuff we make, do, etc. Sigh!
