Tips for arranging fresh flowers

Want to learn the secret to creating beautiful bouquets of flowers?

Here’s a couple of pointers:

  • Choose a color palette, aiming for shades that compliment each other

  • Create a focal point by choosing one standout bloom, or subbing a group of a few flowers together

  • Incorporate filler flowers such as greenery (Eucalyptus is a favorite here) or baby’s breath

  • Consider using a variety of petal shapes and textures

  • Remove any leaves that fall below water line

  • Add fresh water day or two, and completely replace water if it begins to look murky
