You don’t have to be a trained florist or design expert to make a flower arrangement that will impress your guests. In fact, even the least crafty of us can whip up a stunning bouquet in less than fifteen minutes! Here’s how:
It’s easy to have a beautiful home this season.
Fall is a great time to decorate your home. There are many ways to do it, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money or time. You can use candles, flowers, and more! If you’re looking for some easy ways to kick-start the fall season in your home with seasonal decor, we’ve got some ideas for you!
- Use candles: Candles are one of the easiest ways to add fall vibes to any room without having to buy new furniture or accessories. They will look great no matter where they go—on an end table on top of a mantle above your fireplace! They also smell amazing when they burn (and if you get them in scents like Pumpkin Spice Latte or Gingerbread Man… bonus!)
- Hang garlands: One of my personal favorite things about fall decorations is garlands! They look so beautiful hanging from doorways and windowsills throughout my house during this season–and they’re really easy too! All these little touches make all the difference when decorating for any holiday or event–just make sure not to hang them over anything flammable because that could be dangerous…
Get a large vase.
- Get a large vase. It should be at least 16 inches tall and wide enough to hold the flowers you want to arrange so that they can stand up straight without flopping over. Pick one with smooth sides rather than ridged ones if possible, as this will make it easier to put your hand inside when arranging the stems later on.
- Choose a clear vase if possible—it will show off your flower arrangement in all its glory!
- You may have heard that tall, skinny vases are more flattering than squatty ones, but don’t worry about this too much. Just make sure that whatever vase you choose isn’t so deep that it will obscure too much of the stems or leaves from view once they’re in place (you’ll want at least half an inch of stem showing). Also keep in mind how tall or short your flowers are: some arrangements might look better with very small stems near the surface while others could benefit from having their full length available within reach of your hands as you’re working on them.
Gather large flowers
A great flower arrangement is like a beautiful photograph. It captures the right moment, in all its glory, and leaves you with a lasting impression.
Flower arrangements don’t have to be complicated to be impressive or meaningful; in fact, one of the best things about them is their versatility! With just a few simple steps, you can make an amazing arrangement that will fit perfectly into any space.
- Get flowers that are in season: This may sound obvious, but it’s important not only for aesthetic reasons (you don’t want to end up with some sad-looking cut flowers from your garden), but also because local growers will have access to fresher flowers than those shipped from far away stateside or overseas—and trust us when we say your friends won’t thank you for giving them wilted blossoms!
- Get flowers that are in good condition: Make sure they haven’t been sitting around too long since being picked; this means checking their stems before arranging them—they should be firm yet flexible enough so they can stand up without falling over immediately after making contact with each other (and not just fall apart on their own).
Add in small flowers.
If you’re looking to add height, color or texture to your arrangement, small flowers are a great option. For example, if you want to add yellow flowers but are worried about clashing with the other colors in your arrangement, adding a few tiny yellow pansies will be just enough to highlight the yellows without overpowering them.
If you’re still struggling with color coordination and don’t have time for trial and error, try buying a few fall arrangements from local florists or grocery stores (like Trader Joe’s) and asking for their advice on which combinations work well together.
Complete the arrangement.
- Add a few leaves. This can be an extra step, but it adds more texture and depth to your arrangement.
- Add a few berries and pinecones. Pinecones are especially pretty with their natural shape, so look for ones that you like!
- To add acorns or nuts, simply put them into the vase at varying heights—you can use twigs to help you layer them in there if necessary.
- If you’d like to include stones in your fall flower arrangement, just find some on the ground outside! They add a nice touch of earthy beauty to this type of bouquet (and don’t worry if they’re not perfect).
- Lastly, we recommend adding flowers because they’re fun and pretty! Try including branches too if you want an extra point of interest in your design; these pieces will also allow some greenery into the mix without overwhelming everything else with its foliage presence alone.”
Conclusion
Your home can look like it came straight out of a magazine this fall. Use beautiful flowers and you’ll have an autumn beauty that will last all season long.
