1. Select your flowers

Use an odd number of stems of:

• Focal flowers (roses, peonies, dahlias)
• Line flowers (stock, snaps, larkspur)
• Filler (statice, wax flowers, solidago)
• Secondary flowers (ranunculus, spray roses)
• Greenery

2. Start with greens

• Grab a few pieces of greenery, then add in your focal flowers.
• Add in line flowers and more greens.
• Next, add fillers and the last greens.
• Fill any holes with secondary flowers.

Tip: Vary the heights; don’t overcrowd!

3. Wrap or vase

Rubber band your stems together and wrap everything in kraft paper. Add some pretty ribbon and remove the rubber band.

Or, put it all in a vase!

4. Enjoy!

Take a step back and marvel at your creation. Remember to change the water often and give your stems a fresh cut every few days.
