Make a Flower Arrangement With Us

Learn to build beautiful bouquets at home, step by step, with our florists. We'll walk you through two techniques — a simple vase arrangement and a gift-ready wrapped bouquet — whether you grabbed one of our DIY Floral Kits or you're working with your own blooms.

Two Bouquet Tutorials

Start with a simple vase arrangement, then level up to a wrapped premium bouquet. Press play and build along — pause anytime.

Step By Step

How to Build Your Bouquet

Six core steps that apply to any bouquet. The vase video follows these in a vase; the premium video uses the same foundation, then wraps it in paper for gifting.

1
Prep Your Vase & Water

Fill a clean vase about two-thirds full with cool water and stir in your flower food. Starting with fresh, clean water is the single biggest thing you can do to make your blooms last longer.

2
Trim Every Stem

Cut each stem at a 45-degree angle, about an inch from the bottom, and strip away any leaves that would sit below the waterline. The angled cut helps each flower drink, and clean stems keep your water fresh.

3
Build Your Greenery Base

Start with your greens and filler to create a loose grid across the mouth of the vase. This is your foundation — it gives your focal flowers something to rest against and holds everything in place.

4
Add Your Focal Flowers

Place your largest blooms — like roses — first, turning the vase as you go so they're balanced from every angle. Vary the heights slightly so the arrangement feels natural rather than flat.

5
Layer in Secondary Blooms

Tuck in your supporting flowers — lilies, spray roses, or seasonal accents — to fill the spaces between your focal flowers. Cluster a few together for impact rather than spacing them evenly.

6
Finish With Accents & Care

Add delicate touches like baby's breath to soften the edges, then step back and fill any gaps. Keep your bouquet out of direct sun, refresh the water every couple of days, and enjoy!

Florist Secrets

Pro Tips for a Pro Result

🔄 Turn As You Build

Rotate your vase constantly so your bouquet looks full and balanced from every side — not just the front.

📏 Vary Your Heights

Keep some blooms taller and tuck others lower. A little height variation makes an arrangement feel lush and intentional.

👐 Cluster, Don't Scatter

Group a few of the same flower together rather than spacing them evenly. Clusters read as designer; scattered reads as random.

💧 Refresh the Water

Change the water every two to three days and re-snip the stems to double how long your bouquet stays beautiful.
