Add color to your weekend with cut flowers
Interior
With a lovely bouquet of flowers, you can easily add some color to your weekend. The possibilities and combinations are endless when you put together your own bouquet of flowers. Classic roses with a few green sprigs or durable and colorful kalanchoe in a beautiful vase are simple combinations that fit anywhere in the home.
This is how you combine cut flowers correctly
Combining wild with cultivatedDuring the summer months, there are many beautiful plants to pick and enjoy, both among wild flowers and those cultivated in the garden. To create a lively bouquet with many colors and emotions, you can mix bought flowers with some wildflowers and grass.Create harmony in the bouquetIf the bouquet becomes cluttered, you can try using flowers in one color or shade. Feel free to mix flowers with different colors and shapes to create harmony.Choose the right vasePut the bouquet in a vase that is about one-third as high as the bouquet or in multiple vases of different sizes. It is also nice to put some individual flowers in small vases in a group. Sometimes the vase may seem too wide for the flowers and the result is that they lean and hang towards the edge. In that case, you can create a grid with tape over the edge of the vase and stick flowers evenly distributed in the squares. This way, they stand upright and fill the vase better.
Arrange cut flowers
Flowers last longer if you use clean vases, remove leaves that end up in the water, and change to fresh, cold water every few days. Store-bought flowers benefit from getting new cuts after transportation from the store so they can more easily start absorbing water again.
Tie as a florist
If you want to arrange bouquets like a florist, place the stems in a spiral around each other and tie them with twine or a wide thread at the point where you want to hold the bouquet together. Choose a main flower, such as a rose or peony, a flower with smaller flowers to place in between, like chrysanthemums or spray roses, and then some greens, such as lady's mantle and some green leaves, and you have a beautiful bouquet. With a ribbon in a suitable color, you have a nice bouquet to give away.
