Making a natural Christmas flower arrangement
If you want to decorate your house for Christmas, you will love the following ways to make your Christmas flower arrangements look extremely beautiful and natural:
- Choose a base : Not all flowers go in a vase. Dropping your flowers into a vase does not count as an arrangement. According to the flowers, find a base for your arrangements; you can use an ice bucket, sponge, a glass or even a pair of knit socks for your arrangements.
- Thicker stems first : A common mistake while arranging flowers is randomly putting flowers. Add the thicker stems first. Also, remember to add the greener parts before putting in the flowers. This will give you a good effect when your arrangement is made.
- Cut out the unnecessary : You need to chop the unnecessary bits out. All parts an stem stick aren’t required. Trim and chop according to the arrangement you have in mind. This will make your arrangement look natural. Add an angle to your arrangement to fit your purpose.
- Crop your flowers : According to your leafy arrangements, add the flowers, if you need to. Chop off some parts of the flowers to add them as an addition to the arrangement and not as an individual part of the arrangement. Also, arrange the leaves of the plants along with the setting and make it a part of the entire thing. Make sure that these flowers are a part of the arrangement and do not stand out.
- Go easy on the Christmas dcor: If a natural look is what you want, try not to use too many Christmas decorations. These decorations look good, but they take away the natural gleam of your arrangement.
You can use small Christmas flower arrangements as Christmas greetings for your close friends and family.
