Colorful hues, versatile scents, and diverse looks make an enchanting flower box. Freshly prepared bouquets can add the serenity and natural beauty your place needs to brighten it up. Nonetheless, preparing a box of flowers on your own may seem impossible. Especially since the flower shop prepped always look so perfect.

Today we'll be looking at how a professional florist places flowers in a box or a vase and makes them look like they were made for that particular occasion.

Step: 1 Getting all the essentials

When a florist attempts to place flowers in a box, or any other vessel they want, they do it very gently. The equipment used does not make flowers look confined rather makes them look very fitting in that particular place. They use fresh flowers and greens along with proper flower shears, not scissors.

Step: 2 Prepping the vessel and the flowers

After gathering all the necessary items, a florist gets started on their masterpiece. They don't simply put the flowers in a box; rather, they fill the vessel with water and flower food. Afterward, they remove extra stems and leaves from the chosen flowers. They will assemble the boquet after cleaning up and prepping both the vessel and the flowers.

Step: 3 Assembly of the bouquet

They start with basic ones and leave the spotlight flowers and the greens for later. A little at a time, they fill up the vessel and then add the accented flowers too. Afterward, they take the greens, whether ivy or eucalyptus, and fill in the gaps left. This makes your bouquet seem full, adds volume, and gives a more aesthetic feel to the whole thing.

Step: 4 Final touches

After the bouquet is done, the florist looks to see if it requires any changes. They fill in gaps, place ribbons, and even tweak the flowers a bit to make them look just perfect, and viola, a breathtaking bouquet, is all set for the perfect occasion.

Wrapping it up

Every florist has unique styles, and they come up with iconic pieces that fit their style and match the occasion. The signature bouquet adds the beauty a contemporary place needs. A flower bouquet can set the theme of an event, such as natural or even rustic. You can check out other florists to know more about what goes on in the life of a professional florist.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
