Hanna’s How-To: Winter flower arrangment
January 25, 2012
This arrangement is perfect for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, guestbook tables or just to enjoy around the home. The best part is, it fits all budgets.
Supplies needed:
Tall vase
Greenery (We used evergreen)
Various flowers such as roses, carnations, daisies, etc.
Filler flower such as baby’s breath
Ribbon
Step 1
Fill your vase halfway full with water. Cut off about 1 inch of stem from the bottom of each flower. To increase life of flowers, cut at an angle. This increases the surface area.
Step 2
Place your greenery in the vase. Imagine making a triangle shape, keeping the back pieces slightly taller than the sides.
Step 3
Hold your flower up to the vase and cut roughly to the size you want. Again, envision making a triangle shape, leaving the back flowers slightly taller than the sides.
Step 4
Begin filling in the “triangle” with other flowers. Leave flowers you want to emphasize slightly taller to draw attention.
Step 5
Add filler flowers to make arrangement appear fuller.
Step 6
Add flowers and filler to the backside to increase the dimension of the arrangement.
Step 7
To make a bow, begin looping the desired ribbon, pinching at the middle.
Step 8
Continue adding loops until your bow reaches desired thickness.
Step 9
Attach bow by simply tying it to a piece of ribbon placed around the middle of your vase. Enjoy your beautiful arrangement!
