3 Ingredients Challenge

So, my friends and I do this 3 Ingredients Challenge once a month, and this time we chose our Mother’s Day floral arrangements. So, we wanted to select flowers and greenery that most of you can find in your local grocery stores. I did go a step further and found flowers in my garden to add to the mix. All right here are my friends, collaborating with me on this fun floral design:

How to Create a Gorgeous Mother’s Day Floral Bouquet Tutorial

 

Choosing Colors

I originally wanted pale pink roses, but all the roses at our grocery store were bright pink. So, I quickly changed switched plans and chose baby roses and bought those instead. If you like baby roses, our local Whole Foods usually has them in stock for $5.00/bunch.

Selecting a Container

I didn’t want to use a glass vase since it shows the stems and that can be distracting. Also, it seems like I use my white soup tureen a lot so, I decided to use this fun silver champagne ice bucket. And for a minute I thought, should I polish it or go with the tarnished vintage look. I decided on the tarnished since it added a bit more interesting. Ok, another thing to consider is that the wider the rim vase, the more flowers you’ll need. By the way, I found a pretty ice bucket over on Amazon, Champagne Bucket.

How Many Flowers to Buy

It is crazy how many flowers you need to fill a vase. And it is so true when arranging flowers, and more is better in this case!

So, for this post on how to create a gorgeous mother’s day floral bouquet here is what I used:

  • dozen and a half baby white roses
  • 1 dozen pale pink tulips
  • snipped 4 branches of Eucalyptus
  • 5 stems of peach Stocks
  • Azelas stems from my garden
  • 4 branches of Rosa Banks from my garden
  • 2 Calla Lillies from my garden

How to Assemble

  • I didn’t use a frog or floral tape for flower support. But, instead, I just started placing the bulk of the roses in the center.
  • Cut them to size, and make sure that they gradually get taller in the middle.
  • I then added the tulips and placed them at the rim of the vase, so they droop down in a romantic style. I did disperse a few among the roses.
  • Next, I placed the azaleas in between the roses for spots of color and interest.
  • I always like things cascading on the sides, so I styled the rosa banks branches swooping off organically to the left and the right.

Water the Flowers

When it comes to the water you place them in you might want to take a look at my post about which water solution works best for cut flowers. It is interesting what things did work on my cut tulips. On another note, I always fill the vase and the next day I double check it again, since the flower seems to soak up a ton of water on the first day.
