Easy Ways To Make Your Flowers Look Great

Ok hands up who thinks looking after cut flowers is difficult. Well all of you with hands in the air can now rest assured that help is here. Arranging and looking after cut flowers is actually very straight forward, and this article will hopefully show you how. Have you been put off buying fresh flowers in the past, because you think that you need lots of skill to arrange flowers successfully? Imagine the scene, you've just had a flower delivery Brisbane, and those blooms now need some attention. Flowers can be arranged very simply and stylishly with very little effort on your part.

Even if you haven't got a single vase in the house, you can still enjoy your cut flowers. Actually, vases can tend to be a little, shall we say, boring. Why not think laterally and have a scout around your home for some more interestingly shaped recepticles? Wine, beer, and mineral water bottles come in interesting shapes and colours, and reduce arranging to its basics. Choose flowers with large heads like gerbera, lilies, orchids or sunflowers - add one stem per bottle and line them up on your mantelpiece for instant glamour. Roses are another good choice especially if you want to send flowers Gold Coast to a family member.

Jugs, teapots, tumblers and even preserve jars can all be used for displaying flowers. With smaller containers such as teapots and jam jars, the flowers look better with the stems cut short, so that the flowerheads "float" on the rim of the pot. Choose flowers with full heads like dahlias, carnations, chrysanthemums and daffodils. Mass in separate colours for high style, or fill out with interesting foliages for a rustic, harvest-festival feel. Glasses and jars can also be put inside more attractive non-waterproof containers to hold the water for the flowers. Check out your local Mount Tamborine Florist for some attractive vase choices.

Maybe you have got a suitable vase, but it's ugly, or the colour doesn't go with your flowers, or you are tired of looking at it. We've all got such a vase tucked away somewhere that only sees the light of day on Mother's Day each year. Try wrapping a headscarf around it - place the vase in the middle, pull up the fabric around, and tie with a ribbon or even a rubber band at the neck. If you don't have a scarf, try crepe paper or giftwrap - just take care when you add the water. You could then co-ordinate the flowers with the colours in the fabric or paper for a delightful effect. Whenever I have a flower delivery CBD Brisbane I always order some suitable wrapping paper to decorate the vase.

Alternatively cover the outside of the vase in double-sided adhesive tape, then stick large leaves vertically around. Tuck the ends of the leaves underneath and stick them down, then tie the vase in the middle with raffia or string for a floral parcel. Some houseplant leaves look wonderful for this as they are glossy, or have exotic markings or colouration. If you have no leaves, wind string - plain or coloured - in coils around the bottles and jars for an ethnic look; or satin parcel ribbon for a shiny finish. Some friends of mine did this recently and it looked absolutely wonderful. It actually inspired me to send flowers Sunshine Coast the very next day.





If everything else fails and you really are unsuccessful at arranging your flowers, or you have had a few disasters in trying the above, then a lovely way of displaying flowers is to cut off individual flower heads and float them in a low dish of water. You can also add small floating candles for a wonderful table arrangement.

So there you have it. Was that easy, or was that easy? Flower care and arrangement can be an enjoyable pastime, easing those stress levels. The next time you receive a flower delivery Tweed Heads you'll now know exactly what to do! Happy floraling.
