Mother's Day Bouquet
No floral training required. Follow these four steps for a professional-looking bouquet every time.
Pick 1 focal flower (Roses or Hydrangeas), 1 secondary bloom (Spray Roses or Carnations), and 1 filler (Baby's Breath or Eucalyptus). Aim for a 50/30/20 ratio by stem count.
Cut each stem at a 45° angle under running water. Remove all leaves below the water line. Hydrate in fresh, cool water for at least 4–6 hours before arranging.
Hold your first focal flower at the binding point. Add each stem at a slight angle, rotating the bunch as you go. Alternate focal, secondary, and filler stems for balance.
Tie securely at the binding point with twine or ribbon. Trim all stems to the same length. Place in a clean vase with fresh water and floral preservative. Change water every 2 days.

Flower Care Tips
from Our Experts
A diagonal cut maximizes the stem's surface area for water absorption. Recut every 2–3 days under running water.
Fresh water prevents bacterial growth. Use lukewarm water with a drop of floral preservative for best results.
Ethylene gas from ripening fruit shortens flower life dramatically. Keep blooms in a cool spot away from direct sunlight.
Leaves below the waterline decompose and cloud the water. Remove them before placing stems in your vase.
When your box arrives, let Roses hydrate for 6–8 hours before arranging. They'll open beautifully and last longer.
