What does your mom mean to you? With Mother’s Day rapidly approaching, you’re probably thinking about what the best gift is to show her how much you appreciate her and everything she does for you. Well we believe that the best gifts are homemade and that flowers are a Mother’s Day classic. In this how-to guide, we will show you how to create a bouquet unique to your mom.

The Flowers

• The Focal Flower

• This flower will be the centerpiece of your bouquet.
• For this, use your mom’s favorite flower and if you aren’t sure, Hydrangeas are an excellent option.

• The Filler Flowers

• Filler Flowers are smaller flowers that add small and colorful details to your bouquet.
• Baby’s Breath is a perfect example of a charming filler.

• Greenery

• Greenery are plants like Eucalyptus which are essential to a stunning bouquet because they add texture and volume.

Steps to Create the Perfect Bouquet

• Layer your flowers

• Once you’ve gotten all your flowers, begin laying them down to create a base.
• Next, you will start layering them and seeing how they work together.
• Be sure to place your focal flower in a prominent position (typically in the forefront of the arrangement).

• Bunch them up and secure with a rubber band

• Wrap a rubber band to bunch the flowers at the stem.
• Make sure to use multiple rubber bands for stability.

• Wrap them with decorative paper

• Cut a square piece of paper and lay your bouquet out diagonally.
• Tuck the corners in.
• Then, fold the bottom corner up covering the stems.
• Wrap the left paper over the bouquet, then the right.
• Secure with tape or tie with a string and you’re all done!
