A good bouquet is not just a pile of roses. It has a focal flower, a few supporting blooms, some filler for softness, and greenery to hold it together. The florist's formula is simple once you know it, and with crochet stems you only have to get it right once.
1. Start with a focal flower
Pick one or two showy blooms to lead. A rose, a lily, a sunflower. This sets the mood and the colour story.
2. Add supporting blooms
Choose two or three medium flowers in colours that sit beside your focal without fighting it. Tulips and daisies do this well.
3. Soften with filler
Filler is the secret to a bouquet that looks full rather than sparse. Baby's breath and small berries do the quiet work.
4. Finish with greenery
Leaves frame everything and make the colours pop. A few stems turn a handful of flowers into an arrangement.
The forever part
Six stems or more and half comes off at checkout. Arrange it once, in any vase or none at all, and it stays exactly as you built it. No water, no wilting, no second-guessing the colour you chose.
