Tips for Floral Arrangements

  1. Choose Fresh Flowers: Start with the freshest flowers you can find. Look for blooms that are just starting to open, with firm petals and strong stems.

  2. Prepare Your Flowers: Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth. Cut stems at an angle to increase water absorption.

  3. Layering and Height: Arrange roses at different heights for a natural look. Place taller roses in the center or back and shorter stems towards the edges.

  4. Support Structure: Use floral foam or a grid made from floral tape over the vase opening to help hold the roses in place and create a fuller look.

  5. Focal Point: Create a focal point with a standout flower or a cluster of blooms. This will draw the eye and give the arrangement a central point of interest.

  6. Color Harmony: Choose a color scheme that complements the setting. Monochromatic arrangements can be elegant, while contrasting colors can create a vibrant display.

  7. Texture and Variety: Mix different textures and types of flowers to add interest. Combine soft, delicate blooms with more robust, structured ones.

  8. Greenery and Fillers: Use greenery and filler flowers to add fullness and fill gaps. Eucalyptus, Ferns, Cress, Queen Anne's Lace and Baby’s Breath are popular choices.
