Pasture Sale Florals: Fridays At 5:00

I’m sharing 5 favorite “pasture sale florals” that were used last week! Many asked about them so I thought it would be fun to share!

As you probably already know, sometimes the smallest of details can elevate a space to a whole new level! This holds true for things like vintage market set-ups too!

In case you missed it, last week I did a an outdoor vintage market (you can read all about it here). One of the best parts of doing that event, in addition to having the opportunity to meet and visit with so many of you, is setting up all of the different ‘areas’ for the shoppers to enjoy. I spend quite a bit of time planning out these ‘displays’ before the set up day and I really do enjoy doing that.

With the help of a my friend Rob, I have learned that after all of vintage pieces have been placed, one way to really make the booth feel extra special is to sprinkle in some florals here and there. With that in mind, for this last Pasture Sale that I did, my friend Rob picked up some florals for me at a Flower Market in Atlanta and together we made sure to add them in here and there throughout my booth. I have to say, the addition of the florals sure did add interest to the spaces they were in for sure!

Over the course of the weekend, one of the most asked questions was … ‘what are these?” The shoppers were asking about the florals! Many, many people wanted to know what the stems were – they were very popular! The sad thing is, I wasn’t able to answer that question. The names of the stems were on the invoice.

So, now that the show is behind me I thought I would share the 5 top stems that I used at the pasture sale last weekend!

Chamomile

According to google, Chamomile is a flowering plant in the daisy family. The herb smells slightly like an apple, which may explain its name—chamomile is Greek for Earth apple. It smelled so great tucked in that little corner of the booth!

Muscari – Grape Hyacinth

In my opinion, this is one of the sweetest spring flowers to look at. These cuties are smaller that your typical hyacinths and only get about 6 to 8 inches high. I read online that “each grape hyacinth flower looks like it has little beads all strung together up and down the stem of the plant” and that is absolutely true. I really love the way they fall – they are so interesting to look at as they lean/fall here and there!

Green Sweet Huck

I have to admit that I knew nothing about green sweet huck until it appeared here at the pasture sale! And now – I love it! Sweet huck is a shrub and is similar to Curly Willow in that it is used for its height and texture. The cool thing is that sweet huck has a great green color that will stay even after it dries! This was indeed a great option to use to add height and to make a statement on the main display!

White Cherry Blossoms

Just like the sweet huck, these white cherry blossom stems were a great option to use to add some height and interest. They are a little heavy, so I found a sturdy, tall planter that I was selling and I tucked them in there! Wouldn’t you know it that the whole thing sold – planter and stems!

Eucalyptus

Sometimes a space calls for just a subtle hint of interest – and it is in those spaces that we chose to use this eucalyptus. There are many, many species of eucalyptus and I am not exactly sure which this is, but don’t let those tiny leaves fool ya! They packed a big punch and smelled amazing!

Recreate The Look

It was hard to find great options for each of these – but I did find a few. Included is a mix of dried and faux options.

Wrap Up

I also used other things like tulips and daffodils and ferns and moss – but the florals I mentioned above were by far the most “asked about!”

What are your favorite florals to use? Do you have them around your home or shop? I have not always been one to take the time (or spend the money) to use them but I promise – really good florals are worth every penny!
