Fresh flowers in a vase can brighten any room. Unfortunately, they don’t come cheap and are not always readily available. Here’s an idea: Go green! Instead of choosing from a variety of colors and kinds of flowers, choose from different shades and shapes of green foliage. Not only are they attractive, they’re environmentally friendly, too! Here’s a list of materials and helpful hints to start off your first arrangement.
Materials
Floral foam (oasis)
Vase
Measure the branches to your desired length. Stick the branches enough to make the branches stand as upright and tall as you want.
Tips
When choosing a vase, there are no fast and hard rules.
A tight, big bunch of the same kind of foliage has a distinctive impact, as they do with flowers.
Plants with interesting characteristics make for an interesting arrangement.
