How to fill out cut flowers and greens

How to fill out cut flowers and greens:

1. Start by preparing a clean vase or container. Make sure it is free of any dirt, debris, or bacteria.
2. Fill the vase with fresh, room temperature water. The water level should be enough to cover the stems of the flowers, but not too high that it overflows when the flowers are added.
3. Add a floral preservative to the water. This helps to extend the lifespan of the cut flowers by providing necessary nutrients and preventing bacteria growth. Follow the instructions on the preservative package for the appropriate amount to use.
4. Trim the stems of the flowers and greens at a 45-degree angle. This allows for better water absorption and helps the flowers stay hydrated. Use sharp floral shears or a knife to make clean cuts.
5. Remove any leaves or thorns that will be below the water line. This prevents them from decaying in the water and keeps the vase clean.
6. Arrange the greens in the vase first, creating a base for the flowers. This helps to provide support and adds volume to the arrangement.
7. Add the larger focal flowers next, placing them at different heights and angles for visual interest. These are usually the showstopper blooms that draw attention.
8. Fill in any gaps with smaller filler flowers or accent blooms. These can add texture and complement the main flowers in the arrangement.
9. Step back and assess the arrangement. Make any adjustments or tweaks as needed to achieve the desired look.
10. Display the filled vase in a suitable location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources. Change the water every few days and trim the stems every time to prolong the life of the cut flowers.
