Floral Arrangement Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Floral Foam
Soak the floral foam in water for about 15 minutes until fully saturated. This will help keep your flowers hydrated.

Prepare the Vase
Select a decorative vase that complements your flowers. Place the soaked floral foam at the bottom of the vase.
Arranging the Flowers
- 3
Cut the Stems
Using sharp scissors or garden shears, cut the stems of the flowers at an angle to promote water absorption.
- 4
Place the Larger Flowers
Start by placing the hydrangeas in the center of the floral foam, as they are large and will provide a strong base for the arrangement.
- 5
Add Peonies and Garden Roses
Arrange the peonies and garden roses around the hydrangeas, ensuring they are at varying heights for a more natural look.
- 6
Incorporate Eucalyptus Leaves
Insert eucalyptus leaves around the arrangement to add texture and a lovely aroma.

Fill with Filler Flowers
Finally, fill in any gaps with the baby's breath to give the arrangement a full and lush appearance.
Finishing Touches
- 8
Secure the Arrangement
Use floral tape to secure any loose stems or to improve stability of the flowers within the vase.
- 9
Water the Arrangement
Add filtered water to the vase to keep the flowers hydrated. Ensure the water level is just above the floral foam.
