Garden Treasures

Without taking the risk of heading to the market, or spending money on a floral delivery, this at-home, DIY arrangement makes for a beautiful, minimal, home decor piece. It’s a fun, creative project to give yourself, especially during the quarantine. It is so easy to gather these long branches to create a quick arrangement, especially in preparation of having guest over at the last minute. These long branches are so natural to gather. It is an effortless, simple way to add the beauty of the outdoors into the home. 

Part of my love for minimal design includes the use of natural resources. My home garden is my spring sanctuary, my place to grow, create, and design.

Here is my simple, step-by-step design process for creating a beautiful branch arrangement:

Step One —

Locate an outdoor area outside your home or nearby that has plenty of greenery. For me, I just step out to my backyard garden. Find a branch that speaks to you and go from there.

As you see here, I picked long, thin, delicate branches that had tiny leaves sprouting out at the top. Aim for a consistent element like I did if you are going for a minimal look.

Step Two —

Make sure you have enough branches that will fit in your desired vase. Have a visual of how you want to layer the branches, so you know to grab the right amount. Carefully cut the ends of the branches so they absorb well in the water, stay fresh longer, and create dimension. Watch out for thorns when grabbing the bunch to bring inside!

Step Three —

Grab an opaque vase you’d like to use for this arrangement. The lovely vase I used here is from Jayson Home. Pour water in the vase, but not too much. With the right amount of water, the branches should stay healthy for about two full weeks.

Then, go ahead and place it where you would like your arrangement to sit, somewhere airy. I like having mine on the kitchen dining table, aside from the windows.

One by one, inset your branches into the vase. I love the creative aspect of playing around with the layering. The placement of each branch is an essential piece of the design element. That’s all you have to do! Easy and pretty!

Follow your vision and don’t be afraid! There is no mistake in your own creativity. I hope you enjoy this project and watching your gorgeous arrangement bloom.
