From start to finish we&#8217;ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<h2>1. For a loose, organic bouquet, use zip ties<\/h2>\n<p>This is a great tip for when you are trying to achieve a more natural flow with an asymmetrical bouquet or even arrangement. Start with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/greenery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">greens<\/a> and arrange them crossing the stems at the bottom and use a zip tie to loosely secure them together. You can build on this either for an arrangement in a vase or a bouquet!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17437\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17437\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jena-and-james-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Tips and tricks for DIYing your flowers zip tied floral buquets\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jena-and-james-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jena-and-james-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jena-and-james-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jena-and-james-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17437\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alivia Latimer Photography<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>2. Use tape to create a grid on your vase<\/h2>\n<p>For the popular square glass vases or even cylinder ones that are clear and not conducive with floral foam, you can build a tape grid along the top of the vase using regular scotch tape, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/flower-preparation\/oasis-clear-tape_9812\/\">floral tape<\/a> or double-sided tape. Be sure to add the water first and then dry off the edges so the tape sticks to the glass!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Start and end with your greens<\/h2>\n<p>This is the rule of thumb for arrangements! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/greenery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greens<\/a> are perfect for creating the base and general shape of your arrangement when starting out. Whether you&#8217;re using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/floral-foam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floral foam<\/a> or not, greens are always good to create your base. You can also end with greens, using them to fill in any holes.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/greenery\/eucalyptus-silver-dollar_110\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17379 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/00110__eucalyptus__silver_dollar_-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Tips and tricks for DIYing your flowers start and end with various greens displayed\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/00110__eucalyptus__silver_dollar_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/00110__eucalyptus__silver_dollar_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/00110__eucalyptus__silver_dollar_.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/greenery\/leather-leaf-fern_1070\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17378 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/01070__leather_leaf_fern_-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Tips and tricks for DIYing your flowers start and end with various greens displayed\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/01070__leather_leaf_fern_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/01070__leather_leaf_fern_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/01070__leather_leaf_fern_.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/greenery\/pittosporum-variegated_7653\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17383 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/07653a__variegated_pitt__bn-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Tips and tricks for DIYing your flowers start and end with various greens displayed\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/07653a__variegated_pitt__bn-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/07653a__variegated_pitt__bn-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/07653a__variegated_pitt__bn.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h2>4. Turn the vase while arranging<\/h2>\n<p>This one is key! If you are making a centerpiece especially, you\u2019ll want to make sure it looks aesthetically pleasing from all angles. It doesn\u2019t have to be the same on each side as long as it looks full and overall even.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Use floral foam!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/floral-foam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Floral foam<\/a> is your friend! It\u2019s so versatile and can be used for so many different projects you might not have thought it would help with! It can even replace vases for some low centerpieces. Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/flower-containers\/designer-dish-clear_2641\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">designer dish<\/a> with floral foam can eliminate the need for a vase all together and make a beautiful, full-looking centerpiece without the added cost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/floral-foam\/oasis-9-foot-garland_899\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17067 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/00899__oasis_9__garland-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"oasis garland\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/00899__oasis_9__garland-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/00899__oasis_9__garland-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/00899__oasis_9__garland.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/floral-foam\/iglu-small-holder_2548\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17066 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/02548__iglu_small_holder_12_bag-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Tips and tricks for DIYing your flowers use floral foam\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/02548__iglu_small_holder_12_bag-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/02548__iglu_small_holder_12_bag-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/02548__iglu_small_holder_12_bag.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>6. Enlist help<\/h2>\n<p>This is so important! Depending on how much you\u2019re taking on, don\u2019t go it alone. We can\u2019t stress this enough, your bridesmaids are there for a reason, use them! You can get your arranging done in half the time if you have help. Our best advice for using help is to create one centerpiece the way you like it and use it as a model for them to recreate it. People always ask if there\u2019s anything they can do to help; in this case, the answer is yes!<\/p>\n<h2>7. Use Inspiration<\/h2>\n<p>We know how hard it can be to look at flowers on our website and try to imagine what would look nice together. That\u2019s why we are constantly coming up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/floral-design-videos.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tutorials<\/a> and sharing our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/diy-wedding-flower-inspiration-photo-gallery.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">real brides<\/a> and inspo on all of our social media outlets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bloomsbythebox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Bloomsbythebox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blog<\/a> etc. These are great places to find inspiration as well as other blogs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/thebudgetsavvybride.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Budget Savvy Bride<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/emmalinebride.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Emmaline Bride<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confettidaydreams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Confetti Daydreams<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/greenweddingshoes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green Wedding Shoes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/apracticalwedding.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A practical wedding<\/a>, and of course the beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/bloomsbythebox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinterest<\/a> is always good for getting floral inspo pics, especially because you can search for things like \u201cpink wedding flowers\u201d and they will give you a vast array of different styles to choose from.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19048\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19048\" class=\"wp-image-19048 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog-1024x632.png\" alt=\"sign that says Jena and James chairs decorated with candles and bride holding bouquet\" width=\"1024\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog-1024x632.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog-768x474.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog-1080x667.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/snipforblog.png 1182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tips and Tricks for DIYing your flowers<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>8. Don&#8217;t forget about transportation<\/h2>\n<p>Getting your arrangements from where you are arranging them to the venue might seem like something you wouldn\u2019t need to worry about but do not overlook this detail! It could put you into some hot water depending on what you are planning to do. For centerpieces such as submerged orchids or something on a larger\/heavier scale, you\u2019ll want to plan to arrange there. It\u2019s always worth asking your venue if you can set up the day before (sometimes you can!). If not, you\u2019ll want to plan accordingly, make sure you have enough space in the car to bring everything and we suggest using our boxes the flowers are shipped in to stabilize centerpieces while driving. You can cut holes in the top of the box to fit the size of the arrangements perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>9. Use crowning glory<\/h2>\n<p>This is a wonderful product. We stand by it and know plenty of professional and high-end florists who also swear by the stuff. It is used after the arrangement is put together to keep it looking nice and fresh and hydrated. It\u2019s also great for garlands or items that need to stay out of water for a little such as boutonnieres!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11436 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Tips and tricks for DIYing your flowers bottle of crowning glory\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-121x121.jpg 121w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory-184x184.jpg 184w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Crowning-Glory.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>10. Watch tutorials<\/h2>\n<p>This is so helpful if you don\u2019t have floral experience! It\u2019s also helpful to figure out exactly what supplies you might need for whatever you are looking to create. For example, for a bouquet, you\u2019ll want to make sure you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/flower-preparation\/green-floratape-stem-wrap_2637\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floral tape<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/flower-preparation\/floral-scissors_688\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">florals shears<\/a> and of course decorative ribbon to tie around the floral tape. Certain projects require certain items and tutorials from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/floral-design-videos.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our library<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/BloomsByTheBox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">youtube<\/a> can be great resources to figure that out!
