Creating a beautiful bouquet requires a blend of creativity, an eye for detail, and practical know-how. At Viva Florist, we understand the nuances that transform a simple collection of flowers into a stunning centerpiece. In this guide, we share some of our top bouquet arrangement tips to help you create floral masterpieces in your own home.
The first step in bouquet arrangement is selecting the right flowers. Consider the occasion, season, and color scheme. Mixing different flower types with varied textures and sizes can create more depth and visual interest. At Viva Florist, we recommend pairing bold blooms like roses and peonies with delicate flowers such as baby’s breath or astilbe for a balanced look.
Once you have your flowers, it’s time to arrange them. Begin by holding the bouquet in one hand and adding flowers one by one, turning the bouquet slightly after each addition to ensure an even distribution. Employ the ‘spiral technique,’ where stems are angled in one direction around a central flower, to create a rounded and full look that’s visually appealing. Remember to keep the heights varied to prevent the bouquet from looking flat.
Adding greenery and filler flowers can be the perfect finishing touch. They provide background and support, enhancing the primary blooms without overpowering them. Popular choices include eucalyptus, ferns, and ivy. Finally, secure the stems with floral tape or a ribbon, ensuring the bouquet holds its shape and looks cohesive.
To keep your bouquet looking fresh, trim the stems at an angle and place them in water immediately. Change the water every couple of days and keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. These simple steps can significantly extend the life of your bouquet.
