Joanna Gaines Shares Her Stunning Cut Flower Garden Bouquet – How To Get The Look

If you need a vicarious visit to a place where spring has already sprung, Joanna Gaines's Instagram profile is just a click away. The flower garden of this famed American interior designer and TV personality is popping with fragrant florals, and spring is barely upon us. A recent post on @joannagaines shows off a centerpiece-worthy bundle of delphinium and poppies. What if you don't have the same exact flowers Joanna Gaines used to create this stunning spring bouquet? You can recreate this fresh, dramatic floral assemblage using blooms of any species with cool and warm pastel hues and varied lengths and shapes. You can also repurpose a few container garden styling tips.

Gaines leaned into her interior design expertise to highlight the colors and forms of flowers that aren't traditionally paired together. The similarly muted pastels play together in a way that doesn't overwhelm the eye, even though the final bouquet is undeniably dramatic. The cool blues and purples of the delphiniums and warm peach and salmon-petaled poppies are tied together by sprigs of yellow-toned delphinium buds. Contrast is key in form, if not in color.

Here's where a bit of gardening knowledge is helpful. Whether knowingly or not, Joanna Gaines leans into the simple formula you should use when designing a container garden — she includes thrillers, spillers, and fillers within her spring bouquet. While it's hard to rate any one of these flowers as more thrilling than the other, the delphinium definitely plays the role of spiller. The flower stems with unopened buds are particularly spilly, while the open blossom-filled stalks stand thrillingly tall. The cup-shaped, paper-like poppies add enough volume to be deemed filler.

Joanna Gaines, co-founder of the Magnolia business empire with her husband, Chip Gaines, calls Waco, Texas home. And the area certainly provides an abundance of early spring flowers. You're unlikely to have a yard full of bright beauties in more northern climes, but there's likely a bit of life gracing your garden.

Did your snapdragons overwinter well? Maybe a few lemony yellow buds are unfurling. Similarly to delphinium, snapdragon stems bring height and drama to a bouquet. Bunches of round, cool-colored forget-me-nots would pair well. Leave some of the stems long for that cascading spiller effect. You could also create a similar though smaller-scale arrangement with daffodils and grape hyacinths, which are staples of spring flower beds — even in colder growing zones. Position a few purple-hued hyacinth cones so they poke above bundles of sunny yellow daffodils. Let a few of each bloom nod their heads over the rim of your vase.

For a larger scale display of similar colors, snip some stems from the early-blooming forsythia in your garden to complement some purple-blue primroses. If you find the sun-washed pastel palette of Gaines's arrangement attractive, pair the faded purple blossoms of Virginia bluebells with bright yellow evening primroses or violas. For a bouquet of a size that grabs as much attention as its colors, stock a tall, wide vase with a mixture of creamy-white Fritillaria 'Persica Alba' flower stems and alliums in dusty lilac.
