Don brings home roses every Friday in honor of Shabbos. The roses are always of wonderful quality and it a surprise to discover what color roses will adorn our Shabbos table. Most Fridays, we enjoy all twelve roses in one traditional arrangement.
This week, Don brought home peach color roses, one of my favorites. Our home is decorated in earth tones and peach works well in our dining room. The roses were large and robust and I decided to stretch the twelve roses into four different arrangements.
I lined up different vases and spread out the roses.
One arrangement took five roses.
One took a single rose.
One arrangement took two roses and that left four roses.
The last arrangement was a collection of glass bottles set up in a grid-like formation (Upcycled Glass Jar Floral Arrangement: Simply Stunning). I placed the last four roses into these vases, adorning them with the ferns that accompanied the dozen roses.
Here is how they all look together:
Good Shabbos!

So beautiful.. Looking forward to doing something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.
Looks gorgeous! My husband also brings roses for me Erev Shabbos, to follow in the footsteps of my father A”V and grandfather A”V.
Good Shabbos to you and yours!
Notice the center vase? It is a family favorite and always makes us think of Chava and your dear family. Good Shabbos!
Lucky you! Flowers for Shabbos from someone you love is such a beautiful tradition. It’s so important to “stop and smell the roses”, a perfect way to segway into the spirit of Shabbos.
Beautiful! Enjoy them and have a wonderful shabbos! ( Enjoyed meeting Michelle and Yitzchak Aaron at Menachem today)
This is an old Chassidic tradition, and there is a Kabbalah to it. Starting from the first Shabbos after I turned 12 (I didn’t have a Bas Mitzvah as such), my zeide A”V started bringing two bouquets, one for my bubbe and one for me. It has to do with Shir haShirim and The Rose of Sharon. I think we are both lucky, and again, have a beautiful Tu b’Av, with much love, and a great Shabbos!
