Organic Flowers Arrangements

Last weekend was a great celebration in my friend's house. They choose to make their own organic flowers arrangements. Good-quality fresh flowers are the key to longer lasting arrangements and there are some tricks how to amplify the life of cut organic flowers. As a general rule, flowers should be cut across the stem diagonally and immersed in deep water overnight before being used in an arrangement.
It is a big undertaking to prepare flowers arrangements and the saying " many hands make light work" can certainly be true. For few months we were practicing and looking for new ideas of decorating property for guests. The simplest way I found was with beautiful sun-flowers, and u-tube video below.
All what you need is flowers, florist wire, florist tape, 1 block of florist foam.


 You always can order gorgeous  flowers for your DIY project here  from online florist.
 Don't forget to give them a good drink all night before!

Some sage I cut in my forest walk a day before. Remove all leaves from the stems.
