Flower arrangements and food go together like flowers and romance....When I have dinner for my family, I like to include flowers from my own garden whenever I can .......adding some candles here and there, even when it is daytime , adds to the beauty of the meal.......Bringing my family together to have dinner is so rewarding to me so I make it a point to make it an inviting experience....flowers are not just for dinner time either, as we all know..... I can't imagine not loving flowers for any occasion......Striking and creative arrangements are simple to make,  whether picked from your own yard or bought from the super market......you can create beautiful arrangements to enjoy......You don't have to have special occasions to have pretty arrangements sitting about.......not having a reason at all is sometimes when we enjoy adding flowers somewhere in our home the most......DO IT FOR YOU...you don't need classes to design arrangements, you just need some motivation mixed with a little inspiration :D.........A small vase of flowers placed by your bath, along with a scented candle flickering nearby can have a soothing effect on the most weary of souls.....If you are an avid gardener like myself, then the sky is your limit....remember ....cutting your flowers makes growing them back something to anticipate...........So pull out your favorite vase or a pretty glass and stuff it full of greenery and blooms....add the flicker of candle light ......sit back in a comfortable chair.......take a deep breath and feel blessed that life is sooooo beautiful......:D
