How to Make Your Own Spring Floral Arrangement

These fast and easy tips will help you to create a florist-quality spring floral arrangement that you’ll be really proud to display in your home.

1. Begin with the color palette. If you want to mix and match flowers to create your own bouquet, it’s best to have a color palette in mind. Stick with muted tones, a blend of bold primary hues, or variations of one color to create a cohesive look.
2. Create a space for each flower. Cheat by creating a sort of grid guideline inside of the vase. Place a piece of chicken wire flat inside of the opening, or even create a crosshatch of durable florist tape across the surface of the vase. The goal is to have a series of 1-inch squares where you can place each type of flower.
3. Start with the largest flower. Create a base by adding the largest flower (or branch or fern) in the center.
4. Add the thickest flowers. Arrange thick, heavy flowers around the tallest one in the middle.
5. Finally, add accent flowers. Add tulips, daffodils, roses or other eye-catching accents last.
