Easy to Make Flower Arrangements

Having a home garden often means picking your favorite blooms for bouquets. If you love to use flower arrangements for home decoration or to give as gifts, there are several easy ways to put together arrangements that can create a special present or bold home decor accent.
  1. Size

    • A small flower arrangement may be easy to assemble if you're only using one type of flower; additional accents can make the arrangement especially presentable. For instance, if you're using a small bouquet of daisies as a centerpiece, group five or six flowers together and tie them with a satin ribbon in a 'spring' color like yellow or pastel pink or blue. For a larger bouquet, several flowers in the same color scheme easily make an attractive gift bouquet. If you're giving a flower gift to someone whose favorite color is white, giving a collection of calla lilies and white roses and carnations in a clear glass vase is sophisticated and impressive.

    Significance

    • It's also easy to make a flower arrangement that holds special significance when you use blooms from your garden. For instance, if you grow roses, put together a group of yellow roses in a decorative vase to display in your dining room or kitchen. Yellow roses are a sign of friendship, and should be placed anywhere in your home where you welcome friends and loved ones.

    Considerations

    • It's also a great idea to mix flowers of different colors together to convey a sentiment or add the right color combination to a room. For instance, if you're giving a floral gift to your mother or a lifelong friend, a mixture of pink and white flowers signifies gratitude (pink) and innocent love (white). If you want to add a pop of color to a room that features neutral colors like tan and brown, blooms in red or orange are ideal, as they will add more warmth to the room.
