Brilliant Bouquet Wrapping Trick: One Bottle Is All You Need to Arrange Flowers Like a Horticulturist

In summer and autumn, there are so many beautiful fresh flowers. Many flowers can stay looking good for two to three weeks, and you can simply buy them and put them in a vase at home. If you want to learn better bouquet wrapping, the article below can help you, and beginners can arrange flowers just like professional florists.

If you want to take professional horticulture courses, it might cost you several thousand yuan, but the method below can take the place of those techniques. You need to prepare enough materials: a vase, clear tape, sharp scissors, clean water, and some fresh flowers and leaves.

1. Choosing Flower Materials

When buying fresh flowers, be sure to buy some small flowers and some accompanying leaves. You can choose one kind of large flower, such as the common white large peony, and the small peony on the right. For accompanying leaves, you can choose the most common eucalyptus leaves, gardenia leaves, maple leaves, and so on.

If you want them to stay fresh longer, you can choose some shrub-type flowers, such as the common wintersweet and snow plum.

2. Choosing a Vase

I suggest choosing a vase with a wider bottom and a top opening that is not too large. You should also not choose a container that is too shallow, because then your flower materials will not stay fresh for as long. This is because the flower materials need their bottoms trimmed every day and the water changed every day to keep them looking good for longer.

3. The Clever Use of Clear Tape

Next, you can get ready to arrange your own flowers. After removing the leaves from the bottom of all the flower materials, you can use clear tape to wrap a grid pattern across the top of the vase. The size of the grid depends on the thickness of the flower stems.

4. Adding Clean Water

Next, pour clean water into the vase. To keep fresh flowers looking good longer, you need to change the water every day. If you want the stems to absorb water better, you can add a little sugar, such as common white sugar, cola, or edible vinegar, but the amount must not be too much, and generally should not exceed five drops.

Next, cut the bottoms of the fresh flowers at an angle, with the cut at about 45 degrees. Also remove the leaves from the bottom of the stems, and do not let the leaves soak in the water, otherwise they will easily rot and stink, which will shorten the life of the bouquet.

5. Flower Arranging Techniques

When arranging flowers in a vase, you do not need to be too particular, but you should also pay attention to some basic principles. Do not put too many colors in one vase, and at most do not exceed three, otherwise it will look very messy.

When choosing flower combinations, match them according to your own preferences, and there are not too many rules. However, I suggest adding some green leaves appropriately when combining flowers, as this will look fresher and more natural.

For flower combinations, you need to choose the main flower well. The main flower is generally placed in a prominent position, and the flower should be relatively large. Also, be sure to choose some small accent flowers, and the color and shape of the accent flowers must not steal the spotlight from the main flower.

When placing the main flower in the vase, you also need to choose a suitable height. It cannot be too short or too long, so before arranging the flowers, you should first measure it against the vase appropriately.

The flower arranging method above will make you look more professional, and the bouquet you arrange will be more charming and fresh.

The above is the flower arranging process. Isn't it simple? You can try it yourself, and it will look even better than a bought flower arrangement.
