6 Helpful Tips For Your Freshly Cut Flowers

Some people love flowers that they always have a bunch of flowers in their vases at home and even in the office. Flowers would really grace the whole place wherever it is put on. But sometimes other people love to have flowers but do not know anything on how to put these flowers with so much beauty. For you to know, here are some tips on how make your flowers a wonderful sight to all people around.

1. Take a clean vase with you, and put all the greens first, cut each ends according to the size you prefer. Put the stems all together into the vase and crisscross them. By doing so, you can have now the foundation to start your flower arrangement, and crisscross stems make the flower arrangement easier.

2. If you intend to make a small, low arrangement, glide in the flowers in a crisscross so that stems are all around inside the vase. Your vase will now have a ring of flowers going towards out and having space in the middle of the vase. Make sure to set flowers in a round direction and eventually put each one higher than the other until you create a nice rounded arrangement.

3. For tall arrangement, make sure to use tall slim vases. It will help hold up your flowers and help them look balance. Gladiolas, blue delphinium, lilies, snapdragons and other tall stem flowers are the perfect ones to use. If you can find tall tulips then that would be great also.

4. Do not place the flower in a vase very evenly. That has no art definitely. This looks very un common because if you get to look at the garden, you can see flowers in different sets, some blooms are sticking out, some are tucked in, and others are placed hidden but it makes sense because it contributes the whole packaging of the arrangement. Just imitate nature and you are on the right way, tucking in some flowers can enhance the beauty of your flower arrangements.

5. Always use an odd number rather than even no. Meaning 3 or 5 pieces of flowers are perfect rather than 2 or 4.

6. Lastly, collect all the pictures of the flower arrangements that you really like most, then following the tips stated above, surely you can make a beautiful flower arrangement you've ever had.
