Before making fresh cuts, measure the flowers against the container to see where you want to cut. Make fresh cuts on a diagonal.

Fill the container with fresh water halfway. And add plant food to the container before making the arrangement

Start with fresh foliage first and make a base that will hold the flowers. Next add the flowers that will be the focal point like roses or hydrangeas.

Then add in filler or smaller flowers like baby’s breath or chrysanthemums.
