1.
SELECT YOUR MATERIALS
It is important to have some really tall branches and greenery to start with
for large arrangements. Choose something that has a nice, interesting
shape already, not something too stiff or straight. You will also want
some big fuller flowers for your focal points, (like roses, dahlias, peonies,
amaryllis, etc). And last, select some accent flowers. Maybe these are
accents for color, or to break up monotony of big round blooms, so
choose something with a different shape. .

FILL VASE
START BY PUTTING
YOUR BRANCHES IN,
or urn with a ball of
chicken wire. This will
hold your flowers in place
but still give them a bit of
natural room to move.
4.
PUT YOUR FOCAL FLOWERS IN.
Cluster them, make moments of impact.
5.
PUT YOUR DELICATE
FLOWERS IN LAST. This way they
stay safe from getting beaten up by bigger things
that you are putting in first. These accent flowers
are nice if they are sort of floating around the
outside of the arrangements, giving it a lightness.
they will be the outer edges of your
arrangement, so pay attention to the
shape they are creating.
