Styling essentials - vases for Spring and Summer florals, The Camellia, Thunder Bay.

Flowers have the ability to cheer us up, especially at this time when fears of COVID-19 and its spread around the World have led to feelings of alarm and anxiety. We need to stay calm, and Flowers can certainly help us do that. White, Cream and green are classic Spring and Summer colours. March is the perfect time to change out your Winter blooms to something lighter, like the Flowers in the above photo.

There are so many different shapes and sizes of Vases. These tall ones showcase these sculptural branches with spring magnolia blooms. White vases go with everything, and can be moved into other rooms.

A great article to read is Heather Bullard's take on this topic of Vases: https://heatherbullard.com/blog/2019/12/styling-essentials-vases
Take a look around your home, what kind of vases do you have laying around, perhaps gathering dust in a forgotten corner? 

Serenity Cottage Paint The Camellia Thunder Bay

Maybe your accent colours changed, and your current vases no longer suit your space. You can repaint your vase with #CottagePaint, it's water based and has hardly any smell, and comes in 60 colours. We stock Cottage Paint here at The Camellia, and we can ship within Canada. 
Visit https://cottagepaint.com/color-guide/ to see the colours. Then you can visit our store at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. in Thunder Bay, or visit our website at www.thecamellia.com

mechanics of floral vase design The Camellia

Once you've selected your vase, then you will need proper mechanics for anchoring your stems, such as twigs and branches, moss, water, floral foam, etc. Not sure where to start? Take a Floral Workshop here at The Camellia, where you will learn Creative Floral Design, incorporating Dutch Floral design techniques.

Hummingbirds are part of our Northern Ontario summers, here  we used #CottagePaint to stencil  a Hummingbird. It sure is difficult to capture their shimmering feathers and many colours. If you are interested in this class, contact us.

April in Northern Ontario


It's April...we're that much closer to Spring or are we now? It's snowing out there, again. At this point..most of us just want to see green again. The Robins have returned, and some Canada Geese are flying back. What is the weather like where you live? Of course, Canadians are obsessed with the weather. We check it at least 2 times a day. Just so we can know how to dress for the Day ahead. 






We can dream about these large Sunflowers we planted last year







One way to feel Springlike is to paint an old piece of furniture you may have laying around, paint it a bright colour such as Bimini or Turquoise. Bright colours  just make you feel better. come into our store, the Camellia, to look at our selection of  #CottagePaint, in over 50 colours. 






Add some green to your decor, in the form of succulents, faux or real. 




Even a simple bowl of green moss will make you feel Springlike. 

Thank you to all of you who stopped by our booth at the Spring Home & Garden show! The Camellia is open this week Wednesday through Sunday. Thurs. 12-5, Fri. & Sat. 11-5. Sunday 12-5p.
