Summer in Texas this year has been excruciating! The temperature has been in the 3 digits for months. My attempt to grow a flower garden has failed due to the heat and lack of rain. But on the bright side, I was able to get my herb garden started and will start blogging about it on Herbs, Garden & more page. CLICK HERE to check it out.
Even with the downfall of my flower garden this Summer, I was still able to make some awesome arrangements using grocery stores flowers. Enjoy!
It’s prom season and what even better are beautiful elongated corsages made with calla lilies purchased from my local Tom Thumb grocery store. Lilies are in season which also make these corsages budget friendly. This is my second time making corsages since most of my creations are flower arrangements. I created these 2 corsages for a co-worker who had requested some special corsages for her son’s prom date and military ball date.
Since this was my second time making corsages, there are bound to be some complications. I had gotten a little worried when both corsages came out a little longer in length than I had envisioned. I originally had imagined 6-8 inches but both corsages came to about 10-12″ in length. But even at 10-12″ long, these corsages still manage to stay put onto the corsage slap bracelet holder. It all worked out in the end and both corsages were well loved by 2 special young ladies.
Here they are! My final Valentine’s day flower creations. I hope these flowers arrangements inspires you to create one for that someone special. Just remember, inexpensive flowers doesn’t have to look cheap!
Yes, I am going to say it again, Love is in the air! Valentine’s Day is just days away so gear up for some simple budget friendly flower arrangements that will sure to win many hearts! Nothing says love like beautiful flowers!
Valentine’s Day also hold a special place within my heart. I was married on Valentine’s day and about to hit my 14 years wedding anniversary on 02-14-18. Everyone keeps telling me how lucky I am to have gotten married on Valentine’s Day because it prevents my hubby from forgetting our wedding anniversary! LOL! Yes, that’s the good part but the bad part is that flowers are so expensive during this time. So after many years of receiving overpriced flower arrangements on my wedding anniversary, I decided to turn a new leaf and experimented with making my own flower arrangements using flowers purchased from my local grocery stores. Rose Chic Flowers was born and the rest is now ancient history.
Enjoy and spread the love one flower arrangement at a time! You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram!

Here’s my final 2017 Holiday flower arrangement and my first 2018 flower arrangement both using my flowers in a box theme. I thought I would save time by combining both flower designs into 1 blog by ending 2017 with the start of 2018. One thing I do love doing is using bold and vibrate colors flowers within my flower creations. All flowers were purchased from my local Krogers within the Dallas, TX area and the photo boxes were purchased from Hobby Lobby.

I hoped you all had an awesome 2017 Christmas holiday! Here are more of my 2017 Holiday/Christmas flower arrangements. All flowers were purchased from my local Krogers within the Dallas, Texas area. The project cost for all arrangements added up to around $100 dollars with some of the flowers purchased as half price. I think that’s pretty awesome for 6 flower arrangements.
Enjoy and stay tuned for my final Holiday arrangement for 2017!

The most charming, faithful, forgiving and caring person you will ever meet, is your MOTHER. Never miss a chance to say a big thank you to her! She is the reason you live and the reason to feel safe and happy. There’s no better way to show her how much you love her by giving her flowers.
Mother’s Day is the busiest holiday for me! Lots of flower requests from friends and flower gifts to make for my son’s school. I hope you enjoy these flower arrangements and get inspire to create one for a special someone out there! Enjoy!
