Cut Flower Arranging and Care

Every one of our floral creations is delivered beautifully arranged by our creative florists. But that doesn’t mean you can’t also try your hand at some fun floral arranging. Here is a beginner’s guide to floral vase arrangements so you can brighten up your home:

Essential equipment 

You will need: 
  • A clean vase filled halfway with fresh, room temperature water
  • A small knife 
  • Flower food to add to your vase water
  • Sharp scissors

Preparing Stems

 

Preparing the stems

Remove any leaves that would fall below the waterline in your vase to reduce the chances of bacteria growing and keep your flowers fresher for longer.

For roses, use a small knife to remove any thorns; you can also remove any hardy outer rose petals (guard petals) that are discoloured.


Clippers

 

Cutting the stems

When you cut your stems, do so at an angle to encourage your flowers to drink up as much water as possible and avoid cutting at nodules or notches. 

Also, cut the stems according to the rule of thirds i.e. ensure the stems extend at least one third or at most two thirds out of your vase. E.g. a 25cm vase filled with a flower arrangement will reach a height of 50–75cm.

Make sure that as soon as you cut your stems, you place them into the vase half-filled with water as stems can seal over quickly (especially roses). 

Flower arranging

 

Get arranging

If inspiration hasn’t struck, a good tip to start arranging is to let the shape of your vase direct your arrangement. E.g small round vases work well for compact, short arrangements while longer vases are all about long-stemmed beauties.

When placing your stems, criss-cross them in your vase to help hold your arrangement in place.

When organising your arrangement, make sure you layer up: 
  • Start with a base of greenery or foliage
  • Then add in your ‘filler stems’ that will form the basis of your shape, specifically smaller flower heads or subtly coloured flowers
  • Save the most stunning, colourful flowers for the end; these are your ‘focus stems’, which may be the brightest, biggest or simply most eye-catching 
  • Finally, select a centrepiece flower — this doesn’t have to be the biggest or brightest but one that best showcases your entire arrangement. 

Large-headed lilies are a popular choice for centrepiece stems but remember, when these open up they can cover up or overwhelm the rest of your flowers. 

While arranging, keep an eye on your numbers — odd numbers look best and don’t include your centrepiece flower in the count.

Finally, remember to spread colours and flower types evenly throughout your arrangement. 

Once you’ve completed your arrangement, stand back and take a look from all angles. And then make any tweaks you need — practice makes perfect!



TESTIMONIALS

HIGH PRAISE

Lovely place , looked after me well today .

Phil Aspinall

I ordered the paso doble basket flower arrangement for my Mums birthday and it was beautiful. Exactly as shown on the website picture and the flowers were extremely fresh and beautifully arranged. It made my Mum's day and she said she would highly recommend. And so would I!

emma freemantle

We were very grateful for the compassionate and efficient service. The wreath was beautiful with personal adjustments made and exceeded our expectations. As we are overseas, the photograph was a thoughtful addition.

J Barnard

Would highly recommend this florist. The owner went above and beyond to ensure that my friend received her birthday flowers on time. They were a wonderful surprise for her and definitely made her day. Thanks again.

Simone Marcou

I spoke to the loveliest lady just before 1pm and it was no trouble to her to get a bouquet delivered out to Cowley this afternoon. She went to great pains to make sure I was getting the best value, best flowers for my friend and that the blooms I chose would be in perfect condition both when they were delivered and when they are put into a vase. I can’t thank them enough - they certainly made my day

Jo Kelleway

What can I say about this amazing florist? Small, local, but with absolutely exquisite taste and a genuine passion for flowers. Not many small and local places have David Austin roses in, "because they were so lovely, I couldn't resist...". Just one of those local gems, offering something you'd never find in a supermarket or Interflora. They listen to what you want, and then create something really gorgeous within your budget, and always with real love, thought and originality.

Great service and great flower arrangements. I bought a casket topper arrangement for my mother’s funeral and was absolutely stunned with how good the flowers looked, so vibrant and great quality. My sisters ordered a pillow and a mum arrangement which were just as impressive. Would highly recommend.

Martin Bick

Had a beautiful bouquet for my birthday, it was absolutely gorgeous. They re-delivered it to me, as I was out, it was stunning, lasted well; and I still have the teddy bear that went with it. Helpful staff and a great website and selection of bouquets to choose from. Highly recommend

Kate Sturley

Thank you so much for the wonderful arrangement you did for Dad’s funeral today. It was just as we requested and reflected his love of the countryside. I just wish I could post a photo so others can see your amazing skill
