How To Arrange Flowers at Home, Like a Pro!

How to Style flowers like a pro

Happy Earth Day!

Flowers are my personal therapy. Can you believe you’ll learn how to arrange flowers at home, like a pro?

I don’t know about you but, flowers can instantly brighten up my day (even during a pandemic/apocalyspe/covid drama) or during my worst anxious days. They have a je ne sais quoi I’m glued to it, at a point, I have a dedicated monthly budget just for flowers, voila!

I usually visit my local farmers market and get a bunch of different flowers and play with them,  arranging them to look like a pro. One of my dreams since I was 15 is to work with flowers, own a flower shop, and like today, get them every week and just be happy. 

So now, let’s talk about all the steps to create a gorgeous wild arrangement, yes, you! all by yourself.

How to start

 

  1. When you’re choosing flowers for your arrangement, you’ll need to pick: greens for the base/fillers, focal flowers, secondary flowers.
  2. Fill the vase with water, remove the leaves, and cut the stem at an angle (always!). I love adding branches in different lengths, creating a perfect structure!
  3.  As you saw in the video, I started with the greens, at different angles and created a support for the rest of the blooms.
  4. Then, continue adding the focal flowers (some of them together, as I did with my ranunculus), then your secondary and fillers covering all the holes you’re missing.
  5. Arrange them in different levels (avoiding a rounded look)
