Now that Spring is upon us, sprucing up your home with some gorgeous florals is inevitable. Whether it’s real flowers from your own garden or the local flower shop, or faux florals from the department store, you can transform any room in your home to a Spring-inspired haven for you and your family. If you’re going for real, freshly picked flowers from the local market, here are some tips on how to make the best flower arrangements for your home.

 

Flower Arranging Tips for Real Flowers

• Take note of the water. When bringing home fresh flowers from the store, make sure they’re placed in water immediately. Get a bucket and fill it with tepid water. You can opt to add floral preservative before you place your flowers in them.
• Cut the flowers before arranging them. Better Homes & Gardens recommends cutting an inch off the stems using a sharp knife before arranging them because the cut will help the flowers absorb water better. Make sure to remove any leaves that have dried up as well.
• Use florist’s foam to keep flower arrangements sturdy and hydrated. Florist’s foam keeps your flower arrangements looking fresh and well put together. Make sure to soak it in water for 15 minutes before cutting it up and placing it in your container. Check the foam every day to see if moisture is still present and water it if it looks quite dry.

If you prefer faux florals to brighten up your home this season, you can also purchase gorgeous faux blooms at the local department store. You can also mix and match them the same way you do with fresh flowers. Here, we’ve listed down some of the most gorgeous faux florals to bring Spring into your home this season.
