If you\u2019re a do-it-yourselfer like some of us here at the shop, then this post is for you because today we\u2019re going to use one bouquet (and one only!) to demonstrated 6 different arrangements you can do at home. All by yourself. Be sure to invite the neighbors over after so you can show off. Better yet, teach them how to make one of these awesome arrangements! Because sharing is caring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started with our basic <strong>$34.99 bouquet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"784\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-115.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87889\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5019157088122606;width:841px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-115.png 784w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-115-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-115-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-115-768x511.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Classic Hand-Tied Bouquet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joseph recommends separating all of your flowers and greenery. Then starting from the middle and working your way around, alternate flowers and greenery with the flowers being higher in the center. Save the big greens for the outside of your bouquet and tie with ribbon or twine. You can wrap the flowers in paper (even something as simple as newspaper really goes well with this color palette), or deliver as-is for a rustic vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-116.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87891\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4681372549019607;width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-116.png 599w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-116-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The Vase Arrangement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most common, of course, but we\u2019re gonna offer a couple of pointers. Instead of taking the bouquet directly from the packaging to the water, we recommend playing with the shape of the bouquet in the way mentioned above in #1 (unless it already comes in a round shape &#8211; then you can just plop it directly in a vase full of water). Play with the shape by cutting the flowers on the outside of the bouquet a little shorter. This will give your bouquet dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-117.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87893\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4967032967032967;width:841px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-117.png 681w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-117-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-117-600x401.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The key word here is play. Flower arranging is fun and when done right, has positive benefits on your health (which we will post about soon!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-118.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87895\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6676056338028169;width:838px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-118.png 474w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-118-300x449.png 300w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-118-401x600.png 401w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Multi-vase Arrangement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using what you have around the house (mason jars, glass drinking bottles, mismatched vases, etc.), divide the bouquet into three portions. We decided to put the purples and whites together, pinks and greens together, and our dark pinks and yellows together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-119.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87897\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.496842105263158;width:838px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-119.png 711w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-119-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-119-600x401.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Joseph played with the heights of each flower in each container, and you should, too, because there aren&#8217;t any specific rules on how to do this.

All-In-One Vase Arrangement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some really fun all-in-one&#8217;s out there. In this one, we mimicked the style in #3, keeping the flowers in the same color bunches. But as you\u2019ll see, they&#8217;re much closer together and create an entirely different feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-123.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87905\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6671001300390117;width:838px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-123.png 513w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-123-300x450.png 300w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-123-400x600.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Romantic Cascading Arrangement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need a container wide enough to hold an <strong>oasis <\/strong>(green florist\u2019s foam block, already soaked in water). Joseph starts these arrangements by separating the flowers and the greens and placing the most prominent pieces first (in this case the rose and lily). Big leaves are inserted on a side angle so they\u2019ll drape. Flowers on a single stalk, like the rose and the lilies, get clipped pretty short and placed front and center (or wherever you want your eye to go first). Longer stalks with multiple blossoms, like the lisianthus and the alstroemeria, are left long and inserted on a side angle into the oasis on top of any draping leaves. Then the smaller flowers, like the pink wax flower, and any tiny fluffy greens are added as filler for any gaps. (You get more usage out of the smaller branched flowers if you cut them up into several pieces.)<br><br><strong>***When working with an oasis sponge<\/strong> it is advised that the stems get inserted as deep into the oasis as possible. This insures that they last longer because that is where the water is, especially if you don\u2019t add water everyday.<br><br><strong>***Also important:<\/strong> The flowers should get clipped with a sharp non-serated knife or a good pair of garden shiers &#8211; and always at an angle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-124.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87907\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4961636828644502;width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-124.png 585w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-124-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-125.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87909\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4988179669030732;width:841px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-125.png 634w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-125-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-125-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Mini Bouquets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What can we say about mini-bouquets other than that they tend to steal the show! We love everything miniature, it seems, and these are no exception. If you want these to last for several days, you\u2019ll need to find yourself some floral tubes (we sell them). Now, mini-bouquets are nearly impossible to mess up if you follow this one simple rule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em><strong>For every large single flower (like this green pom pictured below), include a small bunch of filler flowers and then some greens.<\/strong><\/em><br><br>Carefully insert them into your tube (if you don\u2019t have a tube, you can wet some paper towel and wrap the ends with saran wrap), and then wrap them in your favorite paper.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebouquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-126.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87911\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5012987012987014;width:870px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-126.png 578w, https:\/\/lebouquet.brstdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-126-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Voila!
