It's old news how much we adore flowers, but we can't help it and it's been awhile since we've done a flowery post. Right now we have several vintage dresses with gorgeous floral prints in the vintage shop and they are perfect for summer wedding season! We've paired our favorite vintage floral dresses from the shop with lovely vintage inspired flower arrangements, antique botanical prints, and floral inspired interiors.

The time is here, Spring time that is! We love this time of the year ever so much. Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and the temperatures are rising. How could you be anything but happy during all of that?! One of our favorite ways to welcome the change in weather is to add a few new pieces to our wardrobe. We don't believe that each season deserves a complete overhaul, but a great way to spice things up is to add fun florals and pastels in the mix. We have put together our favorite Spring worthy pieces in the shop right now and hopefully they will help inspire you to wear some fun prints in the upcoming warmer months. What is your favorite thing to wear after the cold months are gone? Make sure to lets us know down in the comments below!

I love simple floral arrangements usually with only a few selections of buds and flowers together. These pictures of flowers against dark backgrounds has me really inspired to paint one dark wall somewhere in my apartment... I just love how the colors of the flowers really pop against the darkness. And there's something so elegant about black too.

Would you ever try a dark wall? For more floral inspiration, do visit our Fleurs Pinterest Board!

I've said it before, but if I didn't own a vintage shop, I'd probably open up a flower shop. I really am becoming my mother! (She was a seamstress and did floral arrangements!) Aside from vintage, my next love are flowers. I adore flowers.

My favorite flower arrangements are usually the ones that look more organic or ones inspired by still life paintings like the ones by Abraham Mignon and Adriana Johanna Haanen.

I know when that day comes the flowers will look a lot like these floral arrangement photos!
