Arranging flowers is harder than you might think. It takes more to make eye-catching and attractive bouquets than just throwing a handful of flowers together. You have to take colors, sizes, and varieties into account. If you’ve never tried to arrange flower bouquets yourself, February 28th is the day to give it a try. February 28th is National Floral Design Day when we celebrate the art of arranging flowers and crafting beautiful bouquets to showcase the beauty of nature and let our friends and family know we care.
To celebrate National Floral Design Day, we’re going to take a look at the basics of arranging flower bouquets.
Assemble Your Tools
Before you start arranging flowers, you need to gather the right tools. You’ll need some basic items, such as sharp scissors or floral shears, and a vase or other container. For slightly advanced flower arranging, you can also use floral foam and wire or floral tape. Flowers don’t always stay precisely where you put them, so sometimes you need a little help holding them in place.
Choose Your Flowers
Once you have your tools ready, it’s time to choose your flowers. Think about what colors will go well together. If you’re arranging flowers as a gift for someone else, select blooms in colors that you know they like. You also want to choose flowers of varied sizes and shapes to make a visually interesting arrangement. You can also add greenery to your bouquet for a more natural look.
To ensure freshness and bouquets that will stay beautiful for a long time, use blooms that are currently in season. Seasonal flowers also make for lovely seasonal decor in your home.
Experiment and Have Fun
The important thing to remember is that there’s no wrong way to arrange flowers. Expieriment with different colors, arrangements, and styles until you find something you like. If you’re not sure where to start, pick up a few of your favorite flowers, clip the stems, and give a few things a try. There will be a little trial and error at the beginning, but you’ll get the hang of it. Just relax and have fun!
