Hilton shares one of her easiest tips, which actually stems from “pet anger.”

“You can have the same colors, but I don’t want to [my home] look like a charity event, where every table looks the same,” she explains. Instead, Hilton says, each arrangement should be a little different.

She had to face her pet directly at her daughter’s housewarming party, Paris Hilton (43), who opened her eyes to the importance of variation in every assortment.

“When Paris got her first home, she had a party. This florist said, ‘I’ll come in and make fresh flowers for you.’ There is a flower arrangement in the entrance. The same was in the library, the living room, the dining room, her bedroom,” she remembers. “I’m like, baby… No, no, no.”

Her favorite way to keep things original? Don’t be afraid to add fruit!

“I like to use fruit,” she says. “I like to use lemon, I like to use lime. If it’s a glass fish bowl, I’ll fill it with cranberries. I could have a big grape thing hanging down there. I might have a plum here, an apricot there. Depending on the flowers, miniature cabbage.”

For Kathy, choosing the right flowers for a holiday bouquet always comes down to her favorites: white ranunculus, white and red peonies, white anemones, and the “garden rose assortment.”

Another favorite tip is to add a sprig of rosemary. “Always in an arrangement, a little rosemary is happiness,” she says.

Kathy notes that while her “favorite things in life” are “my husband, my children, my grandchildren” as well as “jewelry, handbags and shoes” — she truly cannot resist the stunning array of flowers.

She says the best deal she got was so good she flew it home.

“I was in Las Vegas for the opening of a new resort,” she recalls. “I walked into our suite and it was the most beautiful array of all kinds of pink. They lasted ten days. Of course, I took them on the plane with me. I said, ‘They’re like my children.'”
