Jeremy Allen White is always carrying flowers for a swoon-worthy reason – I'm following his inspiring example this summer, will you?

Jeremy Allen White always has flowers, and he's revealed why on a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon – it's the stylish and affordable way I'm upgrading my home

In my opinion, fresh flowers are the easiest and most affordable way to enhance your home's ambiance in the summer. Not only does a stunning bouquet brighten and enliven a room, but it doubles as an act of love for the self and others.

Jeremy Allen White happens to agree with me that decorating with flowers is always a good idea. He is frequently photographed carrying a fresh bouquet, and in a recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he revealed that the reason aligns with my philosophy. He states: 'I have this farmers' market near my house. It’s on Sundays, and I just love going there. I love flowers in my house.'

This is partially because he uses creating hand-tied bouquets as an out of the box way to connect with his family. He continues: 'I just like them! I like them in the house. I like giving them to people. I arrange them with my daughters on Sunday. It’s a nice thing that we do!'

Shop the Vase Edit

Keep your farmers market flowers fresh for days to come with one of the best vases. Here are a few of my favorites.

In our fast-paced world, where it feels like you are supposed to have a reason to buy flowers, I find Jeremy's relaxed rationale extremely inspiring. I would love to see floral trends move towards this more casual logic, where we pick up flowers anytime we are out to brighten our homes.

So, I'm creating the world I want to see. This summer, I plan to pick up flowers everywhere I go.

As the variety of photos of Jeremy carrying flowers shows, you don't have to wait for a particular occasion or moment to buy flowers for yourself and your family. If you shop at the farmers market or grocery store, it's often possible to get a bouquet for under $10. You can even combine varieties to create a beautiful summer floral arrangement.

I'm planning to get a bouquet at the grocery store whenever I buy food, and at the farmers' market when I visit on the weekend, but whatever method works for you to work fresh florals into your routine is a great choice.

Of course, not everyone feels the same way about fresh flowers. In The Tonight Show interview, Jeremy expressed that he's faced suspision for his choice to constantly have a bouquet in hand.

He tells Jimmy: 'It’s become this thing. I saw a friend a couple weeks ago I hadn’t seen in a while. And we were catching up, and she just goes, "Can I ask you something?" And I was like, "Yeah, of course, what’s going on?" She was like, "What’s up with the flowers?" As if there was something sinister going on—that I was doing something, like, strange with the flowers.'

Other people have allergies, or feel that flowers are a waste of money because they fade away quickly, as opposed to more permanent interior upgrades. Some people prefer to plant a personal cut flower garden, rather than picking up blooms from the store.
