Tips On Making Flower Arrangements

By: Bobbie McKee

There is nothing more gorgeous than flowers in bloom arranged cleverly in a delicate, crystal vase. Do you want to learn how to make those kinds of floral arrangements that often get featured on TV or magazines?

There are no hard and fast rules, but there are steps that you can take in order to create your own beautiful flower arrangements that you can be proud of.

Tip #1: Use Your Instincts

Rules? Forget the rules! There is an artist in every one of us. Some are just dormant and sleeping, waiting for you to come wake it up. What better time than now? And the great thing about flower arrangements is that it takes so little from you to make them look beautiful. After all, flowers are things of beauty on their own.

Instead, have faith in your instincts. Let your eyes be your guide. Just pay attention and you will know which flower arrangements are more pleasant to the eyes.

Tip #2: Combine Small Flowers

You can never go wrong if you do this. Have you noticed how tiny flowers tend to vanish when placed in large arrangements? With all these large and more assertive blooms around them, the tiny flowers get besieged. They are also harder to grab and reposition.

By keeping smaller flowers together, it is easier for you handle them and give your arrangements a more distinguishing impression. You can do this by grouping them together with ribbon, floral wire or floral tape.

Tip #3: On Single Blooms

Another common arrangement that people often resort to is a lone rose in a bud vase. While single bloom types of flower arrangements are always elegant, experiment with this method and add your own style. You can, for instance, make several single bloom flower arrangements positioned in several parts of the house - from small blooms inside wine glasses or tea cups to large blooms in bowls. That way, the lone rose in a bud vase can look even more distinctive in a room full of different flower arrangements.

Tip #4: Using the Correct Container

Use containers that match the type of arrangements. The good news is that most flower arrangements are special. So match them up with distinctive containers as well.

You do not have to arrange your flowers in a typical vase. If you feel that your blooms look prettier in a different container, then do so. You can even use bottles, smaller vases, tea cups, wine glasses - the works. And the overall effect would be a refreshing look to your flower arrangements.
