With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it is time to think about how to make your table feel warm, festive, and full of life. This DIY Thanksgiving bouquet is the perfect addition to your holiday decor. The unique combination of Baby Blue Eucalyptus, Orange Roses, Orange LA Hybrid Lilies, and Eryngium gives off a refreshed, autumnal feel that is perfect for the season.
Important note on timing: LA Hybrid Lilies need extra time to bloom fully. Schedule your delivery at least 4 to 5 days before Thanksgiving to give the lilies enough time to open beautifully before your celebration.
Materials You Will Need
Step 1: Trim and Hydrate Your Flowers
Using flower cutters, trim the bottom of the flower stems to your desired length. Cut the stems at an angle, this allows the flowers to drink the maximum amount of water. Then place the flowers in fresh water for at least 1 to 2 hours before arranging. Leave the corrugated wrap on during hydration. If any blooms appear slightly wilted upon arrival, follow our bloom revival guide to bring them back to life.
Step 2: Prepare Your Flowers
Remove the corrugated wrap and de-leaf the roses. Removing leaves is an important step for ensuring the petals get maximum hydration, leaves tend to absorb moisture that should be going to the blooms instead. This simple trick will keep your arrangement looking fresh and vibrant throughout the holiday.
Step 3: Arrange the Eryngium and Eucalyptus
Gently arrange the Baby Blue Eucalyptus and Eryngium stems in the vase first, spreading them out evenly. These will serve as the foundation and framework for the rest of your arrangement, giving it structure, texture, and depth.
Step 4: Add the Orange Roses
Incorporate the Orange Roses into the center of the bouquet. Their vibrant warm color will instantly draw the eye and become the heart of the arrangement. Vary the heights slightly for a natural, garden-style look.
Step 5: Add the Lilies and Finishing Touches
Place the Orange LA Hybrid Lilies throughout the center of your bouquet as the focal flower. Space them evenly and add any final touches to balance the arrangement. Step back and adjust any stems until you love what you see.
