Arrange Foraged Flowers
Arrange flowers based on flower type. Cut stems at a 45-degree angle using shears. Remove any foliage at the bottom of the stems to prevent bacteria from growing in the water.

Arrange Grocery Store Flowers
Lastly, add the grocery store flowers. Cut the stems as you did with the greenery. Vary heights, and strive for balance, not symmetry.
