Dough bowl decor is super trendy right now! If you have one at home and you’ve been struggling with how to style it, this is for you!

Then comes the fun part of creating the arrangement. I’m not a professional florist but I do enjoy seeing these types of arrangements take shape. I have found through my personal experience that starting from the outside and working inward toward the middle/
