Let's get creative
Whether you’ve just received a letterbox arrangement, or it’s been a few months and you want to create a new look, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some top tips on how to style your flowers.
Organise
Once you are ready to create your display, begin by carefully separating out the different varieties of flowers.
Vases
Now choose your favourite vase, in proportion to the size of the bouquet. We recommend using a vase which is about a third of the height of the arrangement. We love ceramic and coloured glass vases with our dried and preserved flowers.
Measure
Measure your stems against the vase and use sharp scissors or secateurs to cut them to your preferred height. We suggest varying the length of stems to create an attractive display.
Foliage
When styling your flowers, begin with the foliage (leaves and grasses) to create a backdrop for the feature flowers.
Style: Forward-Facing
If you are aiming for a forward-facing bouquet, keep taller stems at the back and bring shorter feature flowers to the front to create a layered design.
Style: Round
If you would prefer a traditional circular bouquet, place your feature flowers throughout the display to add pops of colour.
Arrangement
Make sure to work with the flowers. The way the stems flow, upright or drooping, short or long, will help guide you in creating a natural arrangement.
Remember this is your chance to get creative and let you imagination run wild. If it’s not working, or you fancy a change of style, simply start over. The beauty of our dried and preserved flowers, is that you can create multiple displays throughout the year!
