🌼🌷🌸Come with me to my first floral arranging class and everything j learned.

We used: Peonies from Holland, garden roses, French lilac, sweet peas, spray roses, carnations, yarrow… it was a romantic flower heaven.

Here are some tips I picked up:

Prep like a pro:
	•	Always clean anything below the waterline
	•	Cut stems at a slant to maximize water absorption
	•	For woodier stems, split the ends after cutting

Build your base:
	•	Start with greenery—it supports your flowers and sets the shape
	•	Add structural flowers next (like lilac) to create form
	•	Keep greenery shorter than your blooms

Star of the show:
	•	Place your main flower (peony!) front and center
	•	Add a garden rose slightly lower—it’s the supporting actress
	•	Tuck in another rose behind and one underneath the peony for a color pop

Add softness and texture:
	•	Carnations go lower, nestled next to the roses
	•	Spray roses fill in gaps with a gentle, airy feel—angle them in
	•	Sweet peas break up the color and add whimsy at varying heights
	•	Use yarrow to fill any final empty spots

Final thoughts:
	•	Always use more flowers than greenery
	•	Refill water daily—these beauties drink a lot
	•	Let flowers follow their natural shape—if it droops, let it drape

Thank you for the best afternoon dotscafe wenfloral … can’t wait for more floral fun soon
