While even our discount bouquets look great, you can elevate your flower arrangements with a few simple techniques.

1. Emphasize minimalism. Separate the stems and simplify your flower arrangements. In Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, minimal design achieves maximum beauty. Choose a few complementary stems and practice arranging them in a vessel that highlights the beauty of single flowers.

2. Use only the flowers. If Ikebana seems too complicated, you can lose the stems entirely. Cut the blossoms from the stems and float them in a nice bowl. This creates a simple yet elegant arrangement sure to capture the attention of any house guest.

3. Match your home decor. If your home is decorated with a rustic or country style, go with a basket. Try arranging your flowers in a wicker basket or another favorite of yours to complement your home decor. If the arrangement matches your home’s style, it will add to the overall ambiance.

4.Add more greenery and filler. One classic trick to highlight fewer blooms is to add more greenery and filler. Line the vase, basket, or other vessels with green stems. Keep just a few focal flowers in the center. You can also cut the stems at different heights to add another dimension to the arrangement.
