Unique Summer Bouquets: Tea Tins

One of my favorite parts of summer mornings is stepping out into my garden and savoring the scents of flowers in bloom. Here in the South, fresh flower bouquets are a summer must-have and can dress up even the simplest tablescape. Arranging flowers is a perfect way to repurpose unique containers that you already have.

One type of container that I always have in abundance is tea tins. Through Tea Time magazine, my eyes have been opened to many delicious varieties of tea, as well as the beautiful tins that each blend comes in. I never throw away an empty tin of tea, especially my favorite containers from Elmwood Inn Fine Teas and Harney & Sons. You can place your bouquet straight into the tin, or set a vase or bottle inside of the tin for added décor. Here are some creative ways to turn your tea tins into centerpieces that will be the star of your next table.
