Simple Flower Arrangements

Featured pro:
Category: Home Decor

Flowers don't have to be as formal as a wedding or a funeral. A few simple blooms can brighten any room with minimal effort (and expense).

Step 1: Floral Decor
Brighten any room with beautiful flower arrangements. Stick with one color and go with a simple approach.

Step 2: Bud Bowl
Get a clear glass bowl and fill it with pretty flower heads. Just snip the flowers right under the buds.

Step 3: Spread It Out
Buy one bunch of the same flower and spread them out into various bottles and jars.

Step 4: Branch Out
Place a single budding branch into a brightly colored vase.

Step 5: Floating Flowers
Buy a few calla lilies, drill a nail into the bottom of each stem, then attach them to a tall vase using earthquake wax. Then fill the vase to the top with water, fully covering the flowers for a gorgeous centerpiece.

This is the first time I have watched these videos. They had some very good, practical information I will definitely use.
