It's Almost Tulip Season!
I love when tulip season rolls around in NYC in late March / early April. Walking down Park Avenue past rows and rows of color lining the street. Central Park, Washington Square and Madison Square parks are instantly glowing with fresh new life as the blooms get brighter and brighter with each day. It's the first sign of spring in the city after a brittle cold and overcast winter. And while it's been quite some time since I've made it out of my tiny little alcove and to my favorite spots I figured it there's no better time to line my apartment with little pops of color in hopes of an early spring.
I ordered a few bouquets of Tulips and got to work strategically placing them in every corner and crevice I could fit them. After seeing them in the same old vases with the usual arrangement I decided to hop outside of my routine and try something new. I can't help but love the results.

How To:
+ Add rocks to bottom of vase
+ Measure vase with measuring tape. Mine is 9" inches tall so I want my largest stems to be around 9" inches too.
+ Lay the measuring tape flat and measure out your tall stems at 8-9 Inches, your medium stems 6 Inches and your small stems at 3-4 Inches.
*I did 3 tall stems, 2 medium stems and 3 small stems in my arrangement.
+ After the stems are measured out, secure with elastic and trim.
+ I started with my largest stems and added them one by one to the right side of my vase.
+ Next the small stems
+ Finally, the medium stems.
+ Gently rearrange as needed.
+ Add water to the bottom of the vase and you're done!
Enjoy in your favorite places at home...
