    How to make inexpensive flower arrangements

    • Pick a nice, tight color palette. It’s like the colors in your wardrobe. You might have a lot of great colors, but you wouldn’t want to wear them all at the same time. So choose a few colors only and get a lot of them.
    • Supermarket flowers often last a really long time.
    • For a container, an old antique pitcher is a good choice; but if it leaks, use an insert before filling it with water.
    • Condition the water with flower freshener.
    • Build the arrangement, starting with a base of green. You will want to strip a lot of the leaves.
    • A sophisticated arrangement tip: where the flower starts should be the lip of the vase. You don’t want to see a lot of stem, let the flower be what you see.
    • No leaves in the water if you want to make them last longer.
    • You want to have different sizes and textures, so start with little flower buds and then add big, fun mums.
    • Another tip, find some flowers that have a curved stem and use those for the edges so the flowers curve out. Put the straight-stemmed ones in the center.
    • Keeping a nice, tight color palette, you can create a sophisticated look with supermarket flowers.
