Stop cutting your flowers this way
How to make designer bouquets at home
In designing an arrangement you become a designer.
You buy a bunch of flowers at the grocery store or market. You bring them home, trim an inch or two off the bottom of and pop them in a vase, knowing that you’ve been told by someone somewhere that it’s best to cut the stems of your flowers before you put them in water. They smell great. They make the room light up. But did you add your personal touch.
Even in instances when the bouquet is pre-made I still find they could use a little adjustment. A personal touch that only I or in your case you can bring. Sometimes the foliage is too much or an interesting texture that would be more exciting to arrange in some other way. Or there is no foliage at all except one fern frond or a spike of eucalyptus and a little wild foraging may be in order.
Sometimes the colors are mixed up - warm colors with cool, which in my opinion looks a little off. Maybe some flowers are supersaturated in color whereas others are muted. You’ve got wildflowers mixed with tropicals. It can be a complete mash up. Which leads me to the importance of laying everything out and rearranging the arrangement.
