Creating Your Own Flower Arrangement

Creating Your Own Flower Arrangement

The world of flowers is truly enchanting and infinite; a timeless gesture for conveying different emotions and expressing heartfelt sentiments - whether love, affection, gratitude, sympathy, apology or anything in between. Flowers are also a great way to liven up any indoor or outdoor space, bringing positive energy and elegance to your home, workplace or special occasion. You may opt for ordering professionally prepared flowers like those available on the Alissar website or even trying your hand at making your own arrangement to add a personal touch.

Today, our expert florists at Alissar are sharing with you some simple steps and clever tips for creating your very own bouquet.

  • Envision your arrangement: When picking your flowers, begin by considering the color scheme, season and budget, while making sure your blooms are fresh, sturdy and complementary.
  • Grooming: Trim and remove any unnecessary leaves and sharp thorns found at the stems using a pair of gardening scissors.
  • Build from the inside out: Select a central flower for your bouquet or centerpiece, and start by assembling other blooms around it until you reach a size and design you’re satisfied with.
  • Enrich the arrangement: Once you’re happy with your floral creation, add smaller flowers, accent greenery and foliage fillers for more contrast, volume and pizzaz.
  • Final touches: Now’s the time for making any last-minute alterations to your arrangement, so take a look at it from different angles, switch things around and adjust accordingly, then embellish with ribbons, bows or any other decorations you like.    

Next time, don’t be afraid to experiment with different color palettes, flower varieties and arrangement designs, lengths and sizes - the options are endless and, always remember, practice makes perfect!
