Read along as Sweet Bloom shares design secrets for everyday bouquets!

A quick stop to grab groceries often takes you through the supermarket floral department. The bright colours and delicate scents persuade you.  They are relatively inexpensive bouquets, a quick grab, and an easy way to send messages of love, thoughtfulness and thanks.  BUT… do you ever struggle to place them into a vase and have them look nicely arranged?  The blooms flop to one side, evidence of large gaps appear, lack of greenery makes the bouquet sparse….and ultimately they do not look as attractive as you had hoped.  If this sounds like an experience you had then read on for some of my design tips.

Here are a few tricks to make the blooms bright and attractive:

1. Separate each bloom type and display as small clusters. I love reusing small glass bottles or jars for this look.

2.  Arrange all the blooms as if you were designing a bridal bouquet. Once complete add twine or ribbon to secure, cut stems to one length, and place in a vase. This will maintain the shape and display beautifully.

3. Cut fresh greenery from your own garden to fill in the spaces.

* Most importantly, love the design you create as every artist has their own eye for beauty*

I hope your next bouquet is everything you hoped it would be!

Featured Book:

“Vintage Wedding Style” by Elizabeth Demos

Every wedding season brings about new ideas and design elements for unique creations. A recent wedding bloom trend is the addition of scabiosa pods into bouquets, boutonnieres, and centre pieces. Once an equally attractive flower, the scabiosa pod adds a slight brown/silver colour while making a strong visual element. Perfect as a small addition to bloom arrangements or clustered together for a dominant effect.
