Flower arranging tips for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and, for this reason, fresh flowers are more in demand than ever before. It’s not just about finding the perfect bouquet, but also one that really expresses your appreciation for everything mum has done over the years. Here are some flower arranging tips to make your Mother’s Day bouquet truly special.

Budget

Money is one of the first things to consider when it comes to planning your choice in flowers. Before you can begin flower arranging, you need to figure out just how much you can afford to spend in total. This will help you calculate an approximate budget for each stem as well as a vase and any other accessories. Of course, if you are on a tight budget, you can always make your own vase and add personal touches like photographs.

Types of flowers

Now that you know how much you can spend, it’s time to choose the right blooms. If you are looking for affordable options, you can take a look at seasonal flowers available at your local florist. This is where you will find the best designs at the best prices. Remember, there are several types of flowers that are available throughout the year. This is because florists know that they are always in demand so they make them available through importing or cultivation in controlled environments. The fact that there are so many blooms from which you can choose will make flower arranging that much easier an enjoyable.

Flower colours

One of the most important parts of successful flower arranging is being able to choose the right colours and colour combinations. It’s really handy for you to keep a colour wheel nearby because this will help you combine two or more colours. Combinations like yellow and purple, for example, will create a gorgeous contrast. If you aren’t too sure about combining colours, you can always pair white with any other colour. Remember to keep mum’s favourites in mind when choosing colours and the theme of this bouquet.

Bouquet size

Apart from your budget, there are also other factors that will determine the best size for your bouquet. For instance, if you know that mum will display the bouquet at work, make sure that there is enough space for the blooms. You can adapt your flower arranging plans to suit the amount of space that she has in which to display her beautiful bouquet.

Remember, with proper planning, flower arranging is easy! It’s also important to note that early shopping is essential in order to secure the best blooms at the best prices. If you wait until the last minute, stocks can run out and you will be forced to choose from what is left.
