Berry Bouquet - Recipe by Jill Slater
FinalChase away the winter blues by creating a simple berry bouquet. Original, seasonal and stunning are stargazer lilies filling a small glass vase or ice bucket. The display is made more magnificent by employing red cranberries to anchor the fragrant flowers.

Materials:

  • Small glass ice bucket (Approximately 5-inches tall x 6-inches in diameter)
  • 1 to 2 packages of fresh or frozen cranberries (enough to fill the glass ice bucket)

  • Water tubes, enough for each lily stem (Water tubes are available wherever you buy your flowers or at craft stores)
