Cream Pitcher Flower Arrangement
Simplicity is the essence of farmhouse-style flower arranging, and nothing could be easier than this bouquet of fresh chamomile nestled in a ceramic cream pitcher.
If you’re looking for an easy chamomile substitute use baby’s breath.
Galvanized Pail Bouquet
Metal buckets and pails make great containers for a casually arranged bouquet of artificial flowers like these faux gerbera daisies.
Alternatively, you could use fresh gerbera daisies or group several smaller gerbera daisy plants for display.
Modern French Country Farmhouse Bouquet
This whimsical blend of faux hydrangeas and wild daisies, accented with seeded eucalyptus, are featured in this farmhouse-style arrangement created in a white-washed metal watering can.
You could also make this arrangement using comparable fresh-cut flowers. It’s sure to add rustic charm wherever you display it in your home.
Teardrop Vase With Olive Branches
In keeping with the simplicity of the farmhouse style, you can showcase delightful vases like this by using a few stems of simple foliage, like olive branches or gunni eucalyptus.
Another way to dress up a vase like this would be to tie a jute or raffia bow around the vase neck.
Farmhouse Wall Art
In this DIY farmhouse-style wall art, mason jars with silk flowers, including faux ranunculus, cupped seeded eucalyptus, and spiral eucalyptus, are hung from wooden shaker pegs attached to a piece of reclaimed wood.
It’s a great way to bring some “farmhouse chic” to any room.
Lavender Floral Arrangement
This arrangement features faux lavender and lamb’s ear in a clay pot inside a metal basket. This lovely piece would add a touch of farmhouse flair to any room in your home.
If you love the scent of lavender, try using dried lavender instead.
Simple Fresh Eucalyptus Wreath
A simple eucalyptus wreath is an excellent choice if you are looking for a farmhouse wreath that you can use year-round.
This fragrant wreath can be hung on a door or wall and is versatile enough to be used as a centerpiece on a dining table. You could add a bow and change it seasonally to freshen it up.
Farmhouse Wall Planter
You can make this DIY wall planter by attaching three painted metal buckets to a pine board. The buckets can be filled with green plants, herbs, succulents, or flowers and mixed and matched to suit the room decor.
Tobacco Basket Wall Decor
Tobacco baskets are a versatile farmhouse-style wall decor item. They come in many different sizes and shapes; you can use them as a wreath holder or have them serve as a background for flowers. They are easy to change seasonally to bring a bit of farmhouse charm to any space in your home.
Farmhouse Mason Jar Bouquets
Mason jars are a farmhouse staple. These containers can be used for all floral arrangements, using fresh, silk, or dried flowers.
Mason jars can be painted like these and finished with ribbon, raffia, jute, or the canning lid band.
Door Basket Bouquet
Wreaths and swags on doors are standard, but door baskets are a surprising way to welcome guests and set the mood with beautiful flowers.
They are an excellent DIY alternative to add a romantic element to doors and backdrops for weddings and other family celebrations.
Lamb’s Ear Farmhouse Floral Arrangement
This arrangement embodies everything “country chic” in one bouquet. The faux lamb’s ear, cotton boll stems and lavender stems bring a warm hominess to this casually styled arrangement. The white enameled pitcher brings a true farmhouse aesthetic to this arrangement.
If you want to create a farmhouse-styled arrangement or spruce up an old one, keep several stems of these floral elements on hand.
Farmhouse Holiday Arrangement
This beautiful display, featuring cedar and spiral eucalyptus, accented with cotton boll stems and pinecones, is perfect for that farmhouse-style holiday look.
You could also use stems of holly, pine, and rustic twigs to customize this gorgeous arrangement.
Simply refreshing the greens in this bouquet will extend its life throughout the winter season.
Tips When Using Fresh Flowers
The individuals who designed some of the creative farmhouse floral arrangements featured in this article used baskets or metal containers, along with faux flowers, so they didn’t need to have a water source for the flowers.
If you use fresh flowers, they must have a water source, but not all containers are leakproof.
Test your container beforehand, or use an appropriate liner to prevent water leakage.
If I use a container that may leak, I use plastic or glass bottles that can easily fit inside the container and conceal them by covering them with moss or natural wood excelsior.
If you only plan to add a few stems of fresh flowers for color in your arrangement, you can place them in a clear floral water tube to use as their water source.
Check the water levels in your arrangements daily.
