Always keep in mind that your flowers do have a scent. There’s nothing worse than making a flower arrangement that does not appeal to the sense of smell. Many times, the scent of your flower arrangement is too powerful for a small room or dinner table. Often, flower scents are too strong or unpleasant for some people and can cause them to get sick. For example, strong scented gardenias or lilies are probably not good options for small or hot rooms or dinner tables. Some flowers are what we call “stinkers.” They just don’t smell good or don’t smell good to some people. If the flower doesn’t smell that good in a flower shop, it definitely will not smell good when it is placed in a small area.
