Step 1 - Cut all the stems and place in water
When I got home, I immediately opened the bouquet and one-by-one trimmed all the stems and placed them in a bucket filled with water. I did the same with the separate bunches I got.
Step 2 - Prep your vase
I chose a large vase since I had quiet a bit of flowers. I filled it halfway with water and then made a grid with the tap on the opening of the vase. This allows your stems to stay in place as you are arranging.
Step 3 - Start with your greenery pieces
I always start by placing the greenery pieces first. This allows you to create the shape you want for the arrangement. I wanted kind of a wild shape, so I placed some greenery on the ends that kind of reached out to the sides and also chose to place some in the back.
Step 4 - Place your statement flowers
The roses and the fun purple flowers are the star of the show in this arrangement. I placed them near the front and also along the sides where the greenery was so they could stand out really well.
Step 5 - Fill in with other smaller flowers and greenery
Next, I grabbed the fun greenery with tiny yellow flowers and the greenery with pink flowers and started to fill in some empty spaces. I also used the carnations to sprinkle in some white and fill any holes.
Step 6 - Take a step back to look and fill in any areas
I always take a step back to look at the arrangement from further away. This allows me to see where I may have any holes. I fill those in with more statement flowers or other filler. I also fill out the back or sides with more greenery if I think it's necessary.
