With Mother’s Day around the corner, many of us will be thinking about the best way to spoil the special women in our lives. You could be pondering about how best to show your mom how much she means to you. Should you buy her chocolates, take her out for lunch, or treat her to a day at the spa – the possibilities are endless.
Flowers are a classic on this special day and can accompany any other gift you have in store for your mom. However, the key is to arrange your blooms beautifully and show that you took the time to assemble them in a special way, instead of having your mother go through all the effort of searching for a vase and doing it herself.
When arranging flowers, it is vital that you have a plan beforehand about how you’ll arrange them. Here are a few other tips to keep in mind when creating the perfect posy.
1. Select a vase

Before anything else, choose a vase that would accentuate the beauty of your flowers. One size does not fit all when it comes to this decision, so make sure you choose a vase that is not only appropriate for housing your blooms, but suits your mom and her style as well.
2. Tidy up your flowers

Trim away excess leaves and untidy bits and bobs on your blooms. Thereafter, ensure that you cut the stems at an angle to place them neatly in the vase.
3. Add your greens, then focal flowers

Start by incorporating the greenery into the vase and layering from there. Thereafter, you can add your primary flowers, which are the central point of your arrangement. Lastly, integrate your secondary blooms into the vase.
4. Don’t forget the flower food

The packet of flower food in your bouquet provides your blooms with much-needed nutrients. Dissolve the food in water to ensure that your blooms stay fresh for as long as possible.
