Easy Floral Arranging Tip

July 23, 2016 by Barb 11 Comments

Today I have an easy floral arranging tip for you!

Last summer I was up early enjoying a hot cup of coffee, and playing with my wildflower bouquet before another busy day began. I always love this quiet time so much!

Floral Arranging Tip

Did you know you can arrange a bouquet by laying flowers on a flat surface?

  • Start with the tallest flower and spread out in a fan shape.
  • Add a middle layer of another, shorter flower.
  • Place the focal flower at the base.
  • Gently scoop it all up and place in a vase … so simple!!

Floral Arranging How-To, Keeping With the Times

I have a guide book Alberta Wayside Wildflowers by Linda Kershaw, which not only identifies wildflowers, but also suggests how many a person should pick, which is very helpful to know:

Blanketflowers: a few
Oxeye Daisies: freely
Red Clover: freely

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
