During yesterday’s Shelterpop / StyleList Home segment, I got an impromptu flower-arranging lesson from Amy.
Tips for a mixed-bloom bouquet:
– When choosing flowers for someone else, go for just two colors (like yellow and white), or a monotone bouquet – the simpler your selection, the more likely it is that the recipient will love it.
– Remove all leaves close to the tops of the stems.
– Cut up multi-stem branches (like baby’s breath, which have a single stem that breaks off into lots of little differently-sized stems towards the top) and line them up so they’re all the same height.
– Arrange bouquets in your hand, rather than in a vase.
– Continuously turn the arrangement as you assemble it, so that you can see it from different angles and make sure that it’s even/search for holes to fill.
– Use twist-ties to secure.
