Instagram Flower Inspiration

Instagram is full of flower inspiration!

When I started writing Buckets and Blooms, I had great aspirations of writing all of the time. That has not happened. But, what has happened is that I have found myself lost in Instagram-looking for inspiration! In just a few clicks, I might have discovered a flower designer’s adorable child or house renovation and before I know it, I feel invested. So, when I get busy clicking away on flowers, I get lost(and maybe distracted looking at a light fixture or finding a new artist)- but somehow, always make it back.

What I really want to tell you is- MOVE OVER Pinterest- Instagram is here. Instagram is for ‘the creative’ with a short attention span. Or, anyone with a short attention span. It is for the visual. Most of the flower feeds are not using iphone pictures- they are using real cameras. To have these feeds is a lot of work. It’s not always a simple photograph that someone just snapped. Lots of thought and effort has taken place.

I want to give you a head start. These are some of the people I search first when looking for inspiration. From color combinations to containers and much more-there is so much to be discovered on Instagram. This list is not conclusive or in any order. It is just a great starting point for you to search. Don’t be fooled by the number of followers. Some accounts are smaller and still deliver outstanding inspiration- they have just not been discovered by the masses.

So, take a minute or two and find these accounts and follow them. Like their pictures. Don’t be a stealth Instagramer. Like the pictures. Here we go!

 

Tulipina Design–

I went to her workshop( read about it here). Her use of color is unbelievable. And she is LOVELY.

Flower Wild-

Kate Holt. I can not wait to attend one of her workshops. She does not miss a single detail.

Max Gill Design-

Read about the workshop I attended here (with Tulipina) His large arrangements are breathtaking.

The Brides Cafe-

She is always classic with an edge.

Sinclair and Moore-

Well, this is their studio. They have an adorable baby. They use the most lovely subtle color palate. Look at how organized these containers are. I feel like I know Jamie and Steve. You will too when you follow them.

Marks Garden-

This is mostly over the top LA style. Installations that need a cherry picker or maybe even a crane. It is awesome and you will be in awe.

Buffy Hargett Flowers-

Just simply beautiful style.

Snippet and Ink-

Yes, those are raspberries. I love monochromatic.

Tinge Floral-

She is friends with Jamie and Steve. Her style is unstoppable.

Renny and Reed-

New York and Palm Beach. Always beautiful and always current.

Blush Floral Stylist-

Kelly is in New Zealand. She has a unique style that uses mostly subtle colors. WOW.

Charleston Stems-

One of my ALL TIME favorite pictures. You had me at okra and dahlias.

Soil and Stem-

This bouquet. I really don’t have words.

Southern Blooms-

These flowers are moody. These fall colors in this blue and white vase. Perfect mix.

 

Me-

Most of my Instagram followers are 14 year old girls. My daughter and her friends keep me in check with my ratio of following to followers. I don’t think I have the best ratio:)
