The best arrangements are unique arrangements, and the best way to create a one-of-a-kind flower arrangement is to not only get creative with the flowers, but to get imaginative with the containers. Vases, although classic, are not the only things you can use. Look around your house for any open container. Bowls, glasses, ceramics, teapots, bottles, baskets, decorative boxes, or anything imaginative that you can get your hands on are great for holding flowers. Don’t worry if the container you choose doesn’t hold water. You can always place a smaller vase, bottle, or container inside of it where it is hidden.

Sometimes Single is Sensational

These days, huge flower arrangements seem to be the norm.  Everyone thinks that the bigger the arrangement the better.  Sometimes that’s true.  But, sometimes they are a little out of hand and inappropriate.  There are times when a single flower is the perfect arrangement.

Take, for instance, the single red rose.  It says more than any large arrangement can.  It says “love at first sight or I still love you.”

Single flower arrangements are simple, elegant, and stylish.  They can be placed in small vases and containers, used to float in wineglasses, teacups, and other tiny containers for smaller blooms, and used to float in bowls or big containers for larger blooms.

Single sometimes says it all.
