1. Choose your flowers wisely
When selecting your flowers, make sure to choose a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. This will add depth and dimension to your arrangement. Remember to consider the season, availability, and the occasion for which you’re creating the arrangement. Don’t forget to select some greenery too!
2. Use the right tools
Make sure you have all the necessary tools before you start arranging. This includes a vase or container, floral foam, floral tape, scissors, and wire cutters.
3. Prep your flowers
Before you start arranging, make sure to remove any leaves or thorns that will be below the water line. This will keep the water clean and prevent bacteria from forming. Cut the stems at an angle to allow for better water absorption.
4. Start with a base
Start by creating a base of greenery or filler flowers. This will help to create a foundation for your arrangement and give it shape.
5. Create a focal point
Choose a few larger, statement flowers to be the focal point of your arrangement. Place them towards the centre or top of the arrangement to draw the eye.
6. Add texture
Incorporate texture by adding different types of flowers, such as roses, ranunculus, or dahlias. This will add interest and dimension to your arrangement.
7. Play with height
Vary the height of your flowers to create visual interest. Use taller stems towards the center and shorter stems towards the edges.
8. Don’t forget the finishing touches
Add some finishing touches, such as ribbons, berries, or branches, to complete your arrangement before you wrap it up in paper or add it to your vases.
Creating your own DIY flower arrangement can be a fun and rewarding experience. With these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to create your own stunning flower arrangements that will impress your friends and family.
