Spring Floral Arrangements by Carolyn Gregory
Revisiting Carolyn Gregory’s Beautiful Spring Floral Arrangements
This post is a repost from a couple of years ago, featuring stunning spring floral arrangements by Carolyn Gregory. These timeless designs are perfect for adding a touch of spring to your home. Let’s take another look and get inspired! 🌸
Spring Florals
It’s not every day that a special friend visits your home to create a gorgeous spring floral arrangement just for you—and then surprises you with two more! That’s exactly what happened to me when Carolyn Gregory stopped by. Using supplies from Trendy Tree, she put together a stunning spring arrangement, and we even made a Facebook Live out of it! You can watch the video below to see her beautiful creations come to life. 🌸
Please excuse our less-than-perfect attempt at starting the Facebook Live—we’re used to these hiccups, but they didn’t faze Carolyn one bit! This was her first live, and she did an amazing job. The technical trouble was all on our end!
This day turned out to be such a joy! Carrie and Ashleigh came over from the shop (Trendy Tree), and a couple of my friends stopped by as well. Carolyn worked her magic, creating a stunning spring arrangement in a rustic basket I’d picked up at The Rack in Pontotoc.
Once she finished, we all sat down for lunch, laughed, and had the best time catching up. We need to do this more often! I even told Carolyn not to make anything permanent in the basket—because I’d probably want her back in the fall to create something with sunflowers! 🌻😊)
Forming Friendships
Carolyn has been an active member of the wreathing community and a loyal Trendy Tree customer for many years. Although she lives just 15 minutes from me, the first time we actually met in person was in Dallas, Texas! We had known Carolyn as a customer and followed her work on Facebook, but meeting face-to-face 500 miles from home was such a fun surprise. Go figure! 😊
You can find Carolyn on Facebook. Be sure to drop by Carolyn’s page and say hello! She’s incredibly talented, and I know she’d love to hear from you. 😊🌸
Rusty Flour Sifter
Carolyn surprised me with two of her original creations, and they were absolutely stunning! One was a beautiful floral arrangement crafted in an old rusty flour sifter. Yes, I knew exactly what the flour sifter was—though it’s been many years since I last used one! 😊
I would have never thought to use an old flour sifter as a floral container, but Carolyn’s creativity knows no bounds! It’s the perfect touch for spring and summer blossoms in this arrangement. For anyone unfamiliar, I added a Canva photo of an old flour sifter to show what it looks like.
The flowers look as if they were freshly picked right out of the yard—well, not my yard, since I can’t grow flowers, but I sure do enjoy them! Leave it to Carolyn to come up with such a charming idea. She even tucked a little birdhouse into the arrangement, a nod to her love for all things nature! 🌸🐦
Tricycle Floral Arrangement
The other spring floral arrangement was a showstopper! Carolyn used a metal tricycle, filling it with vibrant blooms and sprigs. It was beautiful and full of spring charm! 🌸🚲
I placed this floral arrangement on my back porch, and it will be perfect well into the fall or even winter.
Take a look at the little bumblebee on top of the mushroom—such a cute detail! Carolyn even made the mushroom herself. She’s so talented (and handy with a glue gun)! 🐝🍄
Carolyn and I are “country girls,” so she knew I’d love the cotton bolls tucked into the spring floral arrangement. I imagine she feels the same way I do—it’s much more enjoyable to admire and create with cotton bolls than to pick them! 😊🌾
Never in a million years, when I was out in the field picking cotton and dragging that heavy sack behind me, did I think I’d one day be admiring cotton boll picks in a floral arrangement! Life sure is funny sometimes. This picture was taken during one of my rides down the Tanglefoot Trail in the summer or early fall—a perfect reminder of those country roots. 🌾🚴♀️

It’s almost spring and the perfect time to bring some color and nature indoors. Or put it on your outside door! A mossy wall basket filled with pretty spring flowers, butterfly picks, and some simple bows is an easy way to do it.
Wrapping it Up!
A huge thank you to Carolyn for coming to Pontotoc, sharing her amazing talents, and gifting me such beautiful arrangements! I absolutely love all three, and I’m pretty sure my friends are going to be a little jealous!
It’s always such a joy to watch and learn from someone so skilled, and Carolyn is truly an expert at what she does. I can’t wait to see what our next project will be! 🌸😊
