Who doesn’t love a great floral arrangement?! But also, who doesn’t really know how to achieve a great floral arrangement? Luckily, we’ve had some extremely talented local florists around the Centre lately, working on their designs for our brand new, very beautiful, and very spring-y event, Fleur Couture. To help us out, Brandi from Floral Fixx Design Studio took a moment to share a few doable tips for how an ordinary floral-lover can create a DIY arrangement. Prepare to impress your friends! And PSA: Stick around to the end of this post, because we’ll be letting you in on how to enter weekly draws for a $50 St. Vital Centre Giftcard during Fleur Couture.

 

4 Floral Styling Tips, Straight from the Experts at Floral Fixx

1. Don't be afraid to play with color, texture and variety (within reason). Arrangements are temporary, and should be fun to design!

2. For the longest-lasting arrangements, make sure you give each individual stem a fresh cut with pruners before placing it in the container.

3. Try to envision the final arrangement before you start. Don't get too hung up on it though – flowers are a natural product, and you need to embrace the variation!

4. Start by creating a base with greenery, then add your focal flowers and build around that base.
