HOW TO MAKE a $15 Flower Arrangement with *only* TRADER JOES FLOWERS!

[@helenr.2184]

I love Trader Joes flowers. Our TJ's donates their leftover bouquets to a local nursing home. One day I brought a friend to TJ's, who has some mobility problems. I was helping her shop, but then an employee stepped up and offered to assist her, allowing me to do my own shopping.. Before we left, the employee gifted Shirley with a bouquet of flowers! Thank you for this really good tutorial. I am now a subscriber (and sharing this).

[@jacquelynjefferson1245]

Awesome employee

[@catherineclinton911]

WOW! Makes me tear up. What a sweet story! I hope your friend felt really special. Good for TJ's. I had 4 surgeries on my leg due to an ankle break & staph, and I was truly amazed how many very good ppl there are in the world; they went out of their way to help me, give tips & sometimes tell me their own story. That said, I can't imagine how hard it must be to have permanent mobility problems. I'll pray for her. ❤🙏

Never heard of Trader Joes? Where are they located.

[@happypenguin25]

I realize you say you miss planning for weddings, and I realize that I'm not paying you directly, but you have no idea how much videos like yours are helping me right now. Most of my fianceé's family is overseas, and it's going to be really expensive to fly people out. For what it's worth, this tutorial makes me feel like I have a chance at saving money on my wedding day, and it gives me hope. You have my deepest of gratitude.

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Love that. Thank you and wishing you the best!!

[@heidibastawros8722]

ONG! You’re paying for their tickets. That’s so nice of you!

[@darcyferrigno]

Really looks like a $100 arrangement! I am just starting to dabble in the art of flower arrangement and I love this!

[@viviaskou603]

same

[@EllenMarkey]

Wow!! I agree that your video was spectacular and so much better than an astronomically priced flower arranging class! Please keep them coming.... simple and easy... not fancy. Just beautiful and fresh flowers. Thanks you!!

[@shin1979flower]

Wonderful 👏 From a friend in Japan

[@djtanner4472]

OMG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! I was quoted $8000 for the floral arrangements and this is going to save us sooo much.

[@happypenguin25]

Oh my God I'm also planning a... wait, you're planning a wedding right? Anyway $8000?! GAH! I read somewhere that wholesale flowers are cool..?

[@djtanner4472]

@@happypenguin25 Yeah, the price of a florist for your wedding is pretty insane.

[@cindyscott1984]

if you strip the leaves off the stems of your greens before placing them in the water, it helps to keep bacteria from forming in your water that then shortens the life of your flowers... beautiful arrangement!!!

[@ddencour5054]

Thank you

[@dianalifeisgood]

I was taught that in a flower arrangement class!

[@ibkizzle]

Didn't know this! Thanks!

[@briannasanchez2480]

I am a local florist, that is the first thing that came to mind! Completely agree if not flowers at least the greenery.

[@jc1864]

I also just learned that a drop of bleach helps keep the bacteria down to help flowers last longer

[@MsLaBajo]

I literally learned more than paying for a class. Love love love this video! Thank you so much. I get flowers every Sunday from the farmers market and just pop them in a vase but now I can do so much more! Thank you!

[@officialnikkiswisher]

She's adorable.... her personality is as cute as her flowers. Great video:)

[@solmassages9732]

This is SO INSPIRING!!! I have been turned off by most of the floral design videos because they say to start out with 5 gallon buckets of 10 different kinds of expensive flowers! I can’t afford that but your video is a perfect combination of cheap flowers and natural greenery from the forest! 🌺👏💐💖

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Sol Massages so glad you enjoyed this!

[@jeanmarieleone6741]

Center height, in a long and low which you just demonstrated in a pedestal contaiiner , if you add a touch of center height, just a center bloom focal point, it elevates the whole organic rustic look arrangement. Very pretty and lovely video. Thank you

[@karmathephoenix2474]

I love flowers! The irregular lengths of the stems and different textures of greenery, makes for a beautiful arrangement. Thank you.

[@stardustgirl2904]

🌷🌹🌷🌻🌺🌻🌷🌹🌷👱‍♀️Not all TraderJoe's are created equal, we are in California and we don't a large flower section like this! This is so PRETTY!!!!

[@goldenyearsacres9163]

I love the color of the roses. The arrangement does look like a floral arrangement for a wedding. Very pretty.

[@sweetoneloves6811]

I decided today from watching TV, that I would like to add a new hobby in my life, and I chose Flower Arrangement. Your channel was the first channel I came to. I am so amazed at how you arranged those flowers. So beautiful, I will subscribe to your channel.

[@oliviastanyer3233]

I have been watching your videos over the past couple of weeks and I'm addicted to your channel. I can relate so much to you, I love your gentle and lighthearted approach to the tasks at hand. I am a budding florist and that's how I stumbled across your channel. Thank you for sharing your 15 minute cleaning routine, it's worked wonders in our home. This arrangement is divine, bless you Ashlyn

[@0617kitty]

Even in Trader Joes is much more than 5 years ago. I wish I have a backyard that I pick from. Thank you for your tips! Beautiful arragement!

[@jasmine9257]

I work at a flower shop so some tips I noticed. Strip the leaves to the water level, take off the brown petals off the white spray roses and add cold water and a drop of bleach. Change the water daily and you can store the arrangements in your refrigerator at night to make it last longer. Love your eye though, you did great designing!

[@renujayajaya]

What a beauty you created!!! Thank you 😊 It just always shocks me of the unhappy people who gives a thumbs down to videos like this. Those are the people who make this world an unhappy places to live! Thanks for helping us to make our home beautiful:)

[@tuliprose7259]

Even just the green are looking so beautiful

[@idanolin9803]

Im 50 and suddenly having an immense interest in flowers. Your video definitely giving me the confidence to start, thank you. Make more videos with different arrabgements, you’re good!

[@samanthagarner2926]

Loving the "tape grid" method. I always struggle with "filling" a big bowl and this is a perfect method!

[@fanbrenda8201]

Your design is very beautiful

[@Queencard853]

I love the way you speak. Your voice and speech is really beautiful. Thanks so much for this. My good friend just lost her husband, and I’d like to make her a special arrangement with a card and gift. I’m so nervous, but I want to do this!

[@kristicolbert1518]

Loved this! Thanks so much! Please do more videos. This nurse needs her floral therapy!

[@leahs8900]

Beautiful!- I love carnations because it lasts longer than most flowers. Thanks for sharing.

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

That is so gorgeous! I love your style. Soft creamy pink with peach white and green. Love this palette. Simple elegance for sure.

[@margaretprobst2821]

Love the Dusty Miller with the blush carnations, such lovely, subtle contrast

[@elisabethclancy3949]

I love the roses ! The white with the touch of pink is what I love . Thank you for sharing & inspiring me

[@lindaciara269]

Thank you so much , I love the colors . I have so many fillers in my garden . Great idea ! Wishing you happiness , prosperity and good health. Have a blessed day !

[@joannmcinnis5689]

I enjoyed your very organic way of arranging your flowers. I love your back yard finds that complimented so well.

[@jazziered142]

I love Carnation's... I remember sometimes, with my babysitting money I would go buy my mom a carnation with baby breath and Greenery. She would put it in a Bud vase in the middle of the table. That was in the seventies.

[@pollypockets508]

Jazzie Red that's so sweet of you

[@tiffy2tone]

Wow! Beautiful! Thank you! I love fresh flowers for my house.

[@TeriGigi]

I've been watching your videos for a few months now but I'm terrible about not commenting. You have a beautiful spirit and I know God is using you to reach young women with truth and light. I've been married 36 years and I try to share some of the same type thoughts and ideas with older women here on You Tube. I love your transparency....oh~ and I love this flower arranging video too. So relaxing and peaceful to watch...and full of great tips. Love you Ashlyn...you are making a difference :)

[@ashlyncartervlog]

TeriGigi thank you so much for the sweetest comment Teri! I really appreciate your kind words and affirmation. Watched your magnolia video...you are darling! Keep up the good work. ❤️

[@TeriGigi]

[@ellencurrey3635]

Ashlyn you are very gifted with floral design!! Love your spirit, and these videos!

[@ashlyncartervlog]

so glad to hear. I will do more!

[@lrose48]

Thank you for sharing your expertise and showing us how to create something truly beautiful. This is why I love KZbin!

[@christycarter3732]

I like the vase you used. I always just have a verticle glass looking vase. The results are night and day.

[@marymarks7046]

Very pretty and inspiring to remind me to pick up some flowers and do my own arrangements to give my home a special feeling. TFS

[@JaneSmith-iz6lw]

I love that you focus on creating an inexpensive arrangement because I tend to get carried away and spend a lot of money. You arrangement is gorgeous!

[@imannewby2826]

💕💕💕 your vase!

[@classicalbunny]

Thank you so much! I looked at your container and thought to myself that it would take way too many flowers to make it look full...I was so wrong! I love the tape grid idea and I am going to try that next time I have a wide container. I love the flowers you chose! You have a good eye for what goes nicely together. Totally agree about the flowers at Trader Joe’s- they are a really nice assortment and affordable. Thank you for all of the great instruction!

[@kristindong3898]

such an effortless tutorial that truly helped me visualize how to make this beautiful arrangement! thank you!

[@TrueChristina]

Love how you used greenery from your yard! I wouldn’t have thought of that, looks absolutely beautiful

[@valeriepeterman2024]

Can skip to 6:00 don't need to hear sweaty workout OMG but ty for a new way to arrange flowers. Trader Joe's has the best price and last a week ., Thanks again

[@KnitLoveHK]

The work looks so elegant and gorgeous. So amazing flower arrangement Really like it Thanks for your sharing

[@MariaGomez-fw7ps]

Love this video . Beautiful arrangement and I love the vase . Thank you for sharing.

[@ruthpoage171]

You inspired me. I love flowers and nearly always have fresh ones. Have an antique pitcher that I’m partial to that I usually put them in, without arranging...but now I’m going to branch out, Thanks!

[@detableflower5027]

It's good to have lovely flowers all the time. It's lovely every time I watch the video💕💕💕

[@annritter2061]

Putting your vase on a lazy Susan allows you to spin your arrangement around as you are working on it. I bought mine at IKEA. Thanks for this video.

[@bebitamira3054]

Helpful! Thanks.

[@sharianderson8739]

Love your effortless approach to producing a lovely arrangement. Yes! Continue on with your DIYs with TJoes' flowers! That's where I shop and I used to arrange some flowers at home for the fun and beauty of creating a gathering of beauties! Thanks for the encouragement to 'have at it' again! Flowers add so much to heart, health and home! Thx!

[@natashalindner2059]

I love your positivity to use what you find and you have created stunning flowers on a budget. I have always just put them in a vase, knowing I have green in the garden I will be buying flowers some day and will come back and watch this again, from just starting to amazing - this was impressive to see.

[@kathysmith8516]

Come back with some more beautiful flower arrangements please Ashlyn. We need your sweet inspiration in these dark times 🌸🌿

[@IvanKingmusic]

Wow! That's easily a $50 arrangement for $15!! SO AWESOME!

[@suzannehorvath4472]

Thank Ashlyn! A dear family friend has asked me to arrange the flowers for her wedding. I used to work in a flower shop as a student many moons ago! Looking for ideas and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Love the simplicity of this centerpiece. :)

[@thereseember2800]

Such exquisite floral splendour... Thank you so much! I learned a tip to pinch the tape together on the grid which makes more room to add each stem.

[@Californiangirl1467]

UGH this is such a great idea!! I never thought to just save a few dollars by buying Trader Joe’s cheaper flower options and skipping the expensive bouquets at other stores 😍 Thank you for this!

[@pollypockets508]

You're excellent at explaining things.

[@tabithajoy2815]

Ashley I miss your wisdom, Words of Encouragement videos, through them I found you here on you tube 😘😘😘 be blessed abundantly beautiful lady

[@claireashley427]

So beautiful and so cheap! I am using Trader Joe's flowers for my wedding and diying them! Going to practice ahead of time so I know exactly what I want and then the day before we can just put them all together and be good to go! Oh and adding pampas grass to my centerpieces!! Love your videos! Thanks for the tips!

[@marydecoste1575]

Your tutorial gave me confidence to make my first centerpiece for a bridal shower I was hosting! It turned out perfect! Thank you!

[@iviamartinez3780]

Lovely...thank you. Would love to see more flower arranging videos.

[@lyndagrace3044]

You are delightful. Thank you for sharing your talent. It is inspiring!

[@susanruby3239]

I am so glad I found your channel! I love the grid idea and how you placed all of your flowers and greenery.

[@moniqueradford9486]

Just gorgeous Ashlyn and I loved how you made two arrangements. I would love to snatch you away to New Zealand and have you come and demonstrate your lovely creativity at our next church ladies event. You have such a lovely encouraging spirit!

[@ashlyncartervlog]

ha! Okay just send a jet for me and I'll be there!!! ;) Thank you monique.

[@ksilvi7194]

Beautiful!!! and I love your vassel. I love this kind of arrangement.

[@christalynjoyromero8316]

You're so creative. So beautiful and lovely creation of yours. Thanks for your inspiring ideas.

[@leavesongrass]

I love seeing what you can do with the flowers at TJ’s!

[@levabuhay]

Very good tutorial! This is so useful and helpful to viewers who love flowers. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tolandiel]

Definitely looks like an arrangement that would cost you at LEAST 100$ at a reasonably priced flower shoppe. Lovely! So whimsical and wild looking. I’m not a huge fan of roses, so I’m doubly impressed!

[@khtboston]

beautiful love the naturalness of your arrangement .....I'm heading out to Trader Joe's to get flowers !!!

[@time4peace726]

Hey! Thank you for posting! I was so inspired and went to TJ’s locally- but could not pull it off for 15.00, did for 20.00 and got 2 arrangements for the house- turned out great!!!! So helpful! Have to say the floral tape that I used for the grid, would not stick and would get wet- much more challenging than you made it look- but it turned out great!!! I love it!

[@ashlyncartervlog]

that's amazing! way to go!!!

[@mandydavison91]

A clear water proof strapping tape works best rather then the regular floral tape :)

[@barbaramoseley-marks5118]

Love the Trader Joe's idea and arrangement. Thanks.

[@vkhachannel244]

Love it, Thank-you for share. I'll try to do for my brother Anniversary coming.

[@MoniqueAesthetics]

Beautiful just what I was looking for for my mom's birthday party table arrangements 👍😍

[@jstokes78]

I actually watched your other flower arrangement video when I was doing small flower centerpieces for my sisters baby shower last month! I bought all the flowers at Trader Joe's lol

[@jstokes78]

Also your Trader Joe's is huge! That flower section is amazing 😍 I live in Oceanside, CA and our TJs is kinda small 😩

[@iLuvMarlenyNunez]

So great my favorites types of arrangements i love it I’am going to create one of these with faux flowers but it’s going to be a challenge

[@SitheapTeel]

It’s beautiful! Thanks for the video

[@kristaslye6351]

TJ's is my fav & this is so helpful! Have you ever done a floating candle bowl arrangement? Could really use some guidance!

[@BohoHobo948]

Loved your arrangement. I wish we had Trader Joe's in Australia. Fresh flowers here are twice the price ( and that's if you can even find somewhere that sells single-type flowers). Usually it's just mixed bunches of the same boring flowers (a couple of gerberas, baby's breath, a carnation and a sprig of greenery) for $25 or more.

[@aparnaldo]

WOW!!! That was so inspiring. I'm so excited to try this. I'm a total amateur when it comes to flower design but I feel like there's really no wrong way to go about this!

[@verryloud]

Yes, please more floral arrangements, loved this!!! 😊

[@kristinak.4183]
