Sub-Standard Floral Arrangement?
Have you ever received flowers, and while you know it was a lovely gesture, just felt like they really weren't you?
I have and I almost feel a twinge of guilt for the post that I am about to write...but you know I'll do it anyway.
Last week, I received a beautiful floral arrangement from my husband for our anniversary. It looked a lot like this.

Last week, I received a beautiful floral arrangement from my husband for our anniversary. It looked a lot like this.
After enjoying it for the majority of the weekend, I decided it (or maybe just me) was ready for a change.
Remember this guy from my Fall display?
Well, his time had come and gone, but I still liked the overall look, so I decided to switch out some of the flowers. I came away with two separate arrangements that are more fitting to my style!
Here's how I did it.
Step 1: remove all flowers/foliage/filler to start from scratch. Separate feature flowers into two piles (or however many arrangements you want to make).
Step 2: add back some of the filler flowers to form a base for the arrangement and any salvageable flowers from the original arrangement.

Step 3: Add in remaining large feature flowers as determined in Step 1.

Step 4: fill out arrangement with remaining filler/foliage as needed.

Step 5: repeat for any additional arrangements, as needed.

Voila, two arrangements for the price of one. What could be better, right?
