If any of the bottom flowers are looking wilted or tired, pinch them off with your fingers.
Step 3:
Cut Monstera
Cut off the stems of three monstera leaves . With the other five leaves, cut the stems to about 30cm.
Step 4:
Prepare the vase
Ensure your vase is clean. Fill with fresh cold water and add a small dash of household bleach to keep it nice and fresh. It may seem unlikely but it really works! Line the vase with three monstera leaves.
Step 5:
Cut Flowers
Using the scissors cut the stems on an angle, to enable maximum water absorption.
If the flowers you are using have a woody stem like roses, slightly spilt the stems about 2 cm up the middle.
Cut the flowers to stand double the height of the vase. Measure your flowers against your tape measure, from the end of the stem to the tip of the flower.
Step 6:
Arrange Flowers
Arrange 20 flowers ensuring they are the same height and an even spread. With the last 10 flowers, cut 10cm off the bottom and feed them in around the outside of the vase. This will make it look like the flowers are bursting out of the vase.
Step 7:
Display
Place your vase in the middle of a table. |
