How to make grocery store flowers look expensive 🌷

Calling all flower lovers!

If you’ve seen my posts before, you know I love my flowers! Every week, I purchase a beautiful bouquet of flowers—sometimes from a local flower shop, the farmers market, or even from the grocery store. Yes, flowers don’t need to be fancy or expensive!

This week, I was running short on time and missed the farmers market. So instead, I went to my local corner store (or bodega for my New York friends) and picked up the best looking bouquet I could find. This bouquet was only $15, which, for San Francisco pricing, is quite the steal.

Read more below on my tips to make even bodega flowers look like an expensive bouquet!

🌷 My first tip is to look for the best looking bouquet they have. I would look for flowers that haven’t quite bloomed fully yet, that way they will bloom over the next few days beautifully in your home.

🌷 If your corner store or grocery store only has flowers with single kinds (so not bouquets), look for ones that also include sprigs of greenery or even little flowers. From the ones I saw at my corner store, this one looked like it had the most extras.

🌷 I know a lot of folks aren’t carnation fans, but I definitely recommend them as they last a really long time. They also dry nicely and look nicely even as they are wilting. They also mix really well with other flowers or greenery, as shown here!

🌷 I recommend sticking with neutrals. Grocery store flowers might have some bright colors (I’ve even seen neons or bright blue flowers at my grocery store). Neutrals look more expensive and style better with greenery.

Stay tuned for more flower finds and styling!
