How To: Buy Flowers on a Budget

{Tulips in season: $6}

No matter what the time of year is you don’t have to spend a lot in order to have beautiful, fresh flowers around the house. Think beyond the elaborate bouquets and instead purchase one type of flower that is in season (I just bought a dozen tulips for six dollars), or buy something such as carnations that typically sell for about five dollars a dozen year round. When flowers are bunched together tightly and placed into a small vase the outcome is chic and stylish.
