A Few Floral Tips

• Don’t stress about the flowers: No need to stress go with the flow and use whatever flowers you can find in the stores and your garden. Embrace the beauty of the blooms that catch your eye and let your creativity blossom with the available options. Remember, it’s all about enjoying the process and creating something uniquely beautiful!
• Choose a color scheme: Decide on a color palette that complements the occasion or the recipient’s preferences. Stick to two or three main colors to keep the bouquet visually cohesive.
• Vary the textures: Incorporate flowers with different textures to add visual interest to your bouquet. Mix smooth petals with fluffy blooms or incorporate delicate filler flowers for a textural contrast.
• Consider flower size and shape: Select flowers of varying sizes and shapes to create depth and dimension in your bouquet. Combine larger focal flowers with smaller secondary flowers for a balanced arrangement.
• Add greenery strategically: Use greenery sparingly to enhance the overall look of the bouquet. It can provide a backdrop to showcase the flowers and add a touch of freshness. Place it evenly throughout the bouquet, avoiding an excessive amount that may overwhelm the flowers.

• Give your blossoms a fresh look by trimming off any wilted or old flower petals. This simple step will rejuvenate the blooms and make them look even more vibrant and lively.
• Trim stems on the diagonal and remove any excess leaves. This allows for good water uptake, and all the energy goes into the blossom. Also, pay attention to stem length: Trim the stems to a uniform length to achieve a neat and professional appearance.
• If possible, include a flower with a captivating fragrance in your bouquet. The addition of a beautifully scented bloom can lift the spirits in a truly positive way.

Let’s take a look at the flowers and fillers I used!

Flowers

I chose a delightful flower collection focused on shades of pink! These soft and old-fashioned blooms are the perfect choice for creating small flower bouquets that exude an extra special charm.

Variegated Hostas Leaves, Eucalyptus, Baby’s Breath

Fillers

To enhance my flower arrangement, I included some lovely greenery as fillers. I used delicate baby’s breath, fragrant eucalyptus, and lush hosta leaves to add texture and depth to the bouquet.

Just a quick reminder: when using fillers like baby’s breath, eucalyptus, and hosta leaves, remember to use them sparingly. The idea is to enhance the flowers without overpowering them.
