Tips for Making Flower Arrangements:
The way in which you arrange fresh flowers conveys your sense of inspiration and imagination and can craft different moods in your home. Although arranging flowers may take a little time and look a little tricky, producing flower displays is easy if you use a little creativity.
-
Cut the stems at an angle, about 1~1.5 inches above the bottom, under lukewarm water to prevent air bubbles from forming. Air bubbles in stems prevent the movement of water into the flowers. Use a sharp knife so that you can cut the stem as cleanly as possible and not damage the flower.
-
Place the flowers in room temperature water. If flowers are wilting, give them the hot water treatment: boil water in a bowl, put the ends of the flowers together and wrap them in newspaper and secure with a rubber band, put the stems in the boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute and then immediately immerse in cold water. Periodically check the flowers as times may vary based on the type of flower. The flower absorbs the water, which strengthens the stem.
-
After cutting the stems to the desired length, strip off all the foliage that would be underwater in the arrangement.
