Garden Party!

  Welcome to my Garden Party!  I know.  I know.  I promised a bug theme, but it didn’t work out.  For some reason, the theme that I originally envisioned didn’t come together the way I intended.  I wasn’t crazy about the colors or the designs.  I was stumped…UNTIL…I saw this… I happened to be walking […]

 

Welcome to my Garden Party!  I know.  I know.  I promised a bug theme, but it didn’t work out.  For some reason, the theme that I originally envisioned didn’t come together the way I intended.  I wasn’t crazy about the colors or the designs.  I was stumped…UNTIL…I saw this…

I happened to be walking around Pier 1 and spied this beautiful canvas art.  AHHHH!!!  I immediately fell in love with the bright colors and floral design.  I instantly knew I had my inspiration for my next theme!

GARDEN PARTY!

I envisioned butterflies and flowers in pretty reds, oranges, turquoise, greens, and yellows.  The colors are so cheerful and vibrant – the perfect combination for a happy classroom!

I decided to incorporate bugs here and there for an outdoor feel.  The end result was spectacular!

Flowers, hanging daisies, bug jars, gingham, butterflies, and inspirational words sprinkled throughout make for a dreamy classroom environment.  I don’t know about you, but I could stare at these colors all day long!  This would definitely be one classroom I would never want to leave!

Okay.  I know what you are thinking.  REAL flowers?!?  Yes and no.  Realistically, real flowers won’t work in a classroom.  However, one of our teachers in our building had real flowers on each table during Parent/Teacher Conferences and it was beautiful!  This would be a nice touch during Open House as well.  During the school year, artificial flowers are a MUST with this theme!

Aren’t the inspirational garden tags adorable?  You can purchase a package of inexpensive dowels to tape on the back of your tags.  Stick tags in flower arrangements or containers around your classroom.  The little details make all the difference when you decorate!
