Floral Arrangements That Light Up


White Night Life
  Floral Arrangements for Bathrooms 

The bathroom has come a long way since the days of only white toilets and mirrors on medicine cabinets. Toilet paper may still be white, but the 20th century took bathroom design to a new level by adding custom colors to bathroom fixtures. Homeowners now take time in designing thier bathrooms with more emphasis into pictures, floral arrangements, rugs, contemporary fixtures, stone and ceramic tiles, and elegant mirrors.  

Most bathrooms do not have a lot of vanity space, so the idea is to create a floral arrangement that is in proportion to your counter space. If you have the height but not the width, then go taller, it will give the bathroom more height. If your bathroom is dark, try lighter colors in your arrangements for contrast. Adding mini battery operated lights in floral arrangements also gives a dramatic appearance, especially if you want to create some mood lighting.

On this page you will find some ideas using lighting in arrangements, and also some floral arrangements for bathrooms.

 Lily Lights Arrangement:

Lily Lights
Using 1-24" cylinder glass vase, I arranged calla lilies to where the tops were right above the glass; some of them I hung over the edge more on one side (you might have to bend them).  There was no cutting involved or difficult arranging, in fact I stumbled onto this design by one day throwing a handful of calla lilies into a vase and liked how they fell.  You could put water and rocks in the vase, or glass marbles.  I added 3 stems of pearls, 1 set of miniture battery operated lights (that I weaved in and out of the calla lily stems, and in the middle, making sure not to see the wire).  In the small votive glass holders, I had 2 with calla lilies in water, and 2 with a floating candle.
