At long last, May has finally arrived—and with it. . . well, you know. If this calendar-declared day signifying the end of April showers doesn’t automatically put you in a better mood, here’s a wild thought: Take a stroll to the corner bodega, local farmers’ market, or neighborhood Whole Foods and treat yourself to some fresh-cut flowers. Peonies for the powder room, tulips for the kitchen table, hydrangeas for the foyer.
Why—aside from the fact that it’s May Day, and thus perhaps your civic duty? Easy: They’re an instant pick-me-up that brings budding life and bursting color into our homes and our lives. As for what to do with all those blossoms once you get them indoors? Have a gander at a hand-painted, highly decorated, or copper reveal vase. Your stems will never look so chic.
Below, the prettiest decorative vases for all for your May flowers.
