A bouquet drawn into a heart silhouette is a gentle way to start the morning, especially when paired with a quiet breakfast or late-afternoon tea. The colorful blooms feel like a nod to pressed flowers, romantic without slipping into saccharine. On open shelving, it reads like a bright accent; in hand, it’s an easy invitation to slow down for a few minutes.
