Want to make your own bouquet instead of always buying expensive ones? No problem! With a few simple tricks, even beginners can create a professional-looking bouquet. And best of all, your DIY bouquet will look even more beautiful when placed in front of the right wall. We did just that for Blumen Fritz in Rosenheim, using beautiful Komar photo wallpaper with a floral motif.
1. Cut the stems at an angle (approx. 2 to 3 cm) with a sharp knife. Remove any leaves that would be in the water. This will keep the flowers fresh for longer. Tip: Use lukewarm water instead of cold water. The flowers will absorb it better.
2. The spiral technique: how to arrange flowers like a florist
Hold the first stem in your left hand. Place each additional stem diagonally over it and always twist them in the same direction. This automatically creates a stable spiral. After 10 to 15 stems, you will already have a magnificent bouquet! It is best to practice with inexpensive wildflowers.
3. Mix colors, heights, and filler material cleverly
Take 3 to 5 main flowers (for example, roses or tulips) and add greenery, gypsophila, or eucalyptus. Work with different heights, making the center slightly higher and the edges looser. This will make the bouquet look more natural.
4. Tie securely and transport safely
Wrap the bouquet with floral wire or jute cord about 10 cm below the flower heads. For transport, wrap the stems in damp paper towels and place them in
5. The final check and vase trick
Place the bouquet in water immediately. Change the water every 2 days and recut the stems. Pro tip: A splash of lemon juice or a copper coin in the water keeps bacteria away.
