It’s the middle of January and everyone is starting to think about Valentine’s Day. Today’s centerpiece is cheery with red roses and pink alstroemeria.
The dozen red roses from Aldi, are a great bargain and mean Valentine’s to me. I chose a vintage red vase and tied a white ribbon around it.
Now I needed filler. I went to the supermarket looking for baby’s breath, but I couldn’t resist the luscious deep pink alstroemeria. I added a couple of pink hibiscus from my yard for highlights. Hibiscus flowers are beautiful but only last a day.
I put two pink flowers in a dish at the base of the vase.
Although red roses are the traditional Valentine’s flower, adding the pink flowers gives it an added sparkle. I encourage you to think outside the box and play with your flower design.

Hi Carol, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, that is how I found yours!
How nice that you treated yourself to a flower bouquet. Arranging your own bouquets is always fun, isn’t it?
Red roses are so elegant and they truly are hard to beat as a Valentine’s flower symbolizing love!
Warm regards,

The centerpiece is lovely Carol and the red and pink do look so gorgeous together.
What a beautiful bouquet and centerpiece! I think that the soft pink alstroemeria contrast perfectly against the scarlet roses. I would be thrilled with something as pretty as this for Valentines day. Thanks for sharing with #DreamTeam x

What a beautiful bouquet! I love the red and pink together. Your tablecloth is lovely – and amazingly almost identical to a vintage tablecloth that belonged to my late Mom. We always used to use it when we had spaghetti when I was little – and I still do today! In fact, I have the table we used to eat at too. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful post with us at Hearth and Soul.
Thanks April
