Get Started
Cut Stems at an Angle
Strip Away Leaves
Pollen
Straight Wire Support
When working with top-heavy flowers, there's a good chance they'll topple over in an arrangement. To keep flowers upright, support their heads with straight wire wrapped around the stems, then secure them along the bottom of the flower's head.
Metal Greening Pins
Sometimes loose, organic materials, such as moss, can add gorgeous color and texture to an arrangement; however, it's not that easy to make these materials sit securely. The trick to keeping moss pieced together randomly is to secure the moss to floral foam with metal greening pins.
Wooden Picks for Fruit
Looking to mix fruit with floral? There's more to creating this look than you might think. In order for fruit to fit securely in an arrangement, you'll need to cut wooden picks to size, insert one end into the fruit and the other into the foam.
