Prepare the flowers

Once you have chosen your flowers, it is time to prepare them for the arrangement. This step is crucial to ensure the freshness and longevity of your bouquet.

Cut the stems

Start by cutting the flower stems to the correct length. Measure the height of the vase you will be using and adjust the lengths accordingly. Generally, the stems should extend about 10 cm beyond the rim of the vase.

Use sharp pruning shears and cut the stems at an angle to facilitate water absorption.

Remove the leaves

Carefully remove any leaves that may be underwater in the vase. This will prevent bacteria from growing and will keep your bouquet fresher for longer.

Soak the stems

Soak the ends of the cut stems in cool water for a few minutes. This will help them hydrate well before arranging.

Compose the bouquet

Now you are ready to move on to the composition phase! Let your creativity run wild to create a harmonious and balanced bouquet.

Arrange the flowers

Start by placing the largest flowers in the center of the bouquet, such as roses or peonies. Then surround them with the medium-sized flowers, then fill in with the smaller flowers on the sides.

Make sure to distribute the colors and shapes well to obtain a balanced and aesthetic whole.

Adjust the shape

Once the flowers are in place, carefully adjust their position and inclination to give a nice rounded shape to your bouquet.

You can also add some foliage or greenery to bring lightness and movement.

Fix the bouquet

To maintain the shape of your bouquet, you can tie it delicately with a raffia thread or an elastic band. Be careful not to tighten too much so as not to damage the stems.

Maintaining the bouquet

Your bouquet is now ready! To keep it fresh and blooming for as long as possible, follow these few care tips:

• Change the water in the vase regularly, keeping it fresh.
• Carefully remove faded flowers as they appear.
• Lightly spray the flowers with water to refresh them.
• Place the bouquet away from direct sunlight and drafts.

With these few simple steps, your bouquet of fresh flowers will remain magnificent for several days!
