Design: Winterberry

It's not very often I get to create two flower arrangements in one week. This week has proved to be an exciting exception with Thanksgiving and now my dad's birthday. 

Winterberry abounds at florists and grocery store flower sections right now and it looks great with white. Some of my favorite arrangements using winterberry include...

via The Grumpy Gardner

For our arrangement, we mixed one bunch of winterberry with one bunch of freesia.

                                 Snips and clippers for the flowers.

A florist frog to place in the container and hold the flowers. I had never used one of these before and it made a HUGE difference. If you want a more casual, looser arrangement like we were going for, I definitely recommend one of these. You just stick the flower stems and branches through the opening and it helps everything stand more upright.

And the final product. Happy Birthday Dad!!
