Tips for Floral Arrangements

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Color Harmony: Choose a color scheme that complements the setting. Monochromatic arrangements can be elegant, while contrasting colors can create a vibrant display.
Texture and Variety: Mix different textures and types of flowers to add interest. Combine soft, delicate blooms with more robust, structured ones.
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.
