This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend The Bloom Academy’s<\/a> first workshop. Emily<\/a> hosted the event. If you’re unfamiliar with her work, she is a seriously gifted florist in Kansas City. I mean, off the charts talented.<\/p>\n

A little less than a year ago, I had attended an event <\/a>where she gave flower arranging tips. It upped my flower game by about a thousand percent, but I still wanted to learn more.<\/p>\n

\"work-tables-groups\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things that was really great about the workshop\u00a0is that each guest had an opportunity to have Emily give one-on-one advice on how to improve their arrangement. Mine needed a few more flowers. It was amazing to see how a few small tricks could transform a bouquet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are my favorite things I learned from The Bloom Academy about arranging flowers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start by creating a nest for your arrangement by criss-crossing leafy stems like eucalyptus or Dusty Miller.<\/li>\n
  2. Next, add in larger blooms, which in our case were dahlias, roses, tulips, stock, snapdragons and lisanthus.<\/li>\n
  3. Then, fill in with pretties that have a lot of texture, like heather.<\/li>\n
  4. Last, but not least, look it over. Do you need to add more? Is there enough greenery? Could you use bigger flowers?<\/li>\n
  5. If you’re arrangement is too tight, don’t be afraid to loosen it up a bit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"flower-arranging\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    I also picked up some odds and ends that I’d like to pass on to you:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Tulips continue to grow even after they’re cut, so you may have to readjust your arrangement a few days later.<\/li>\n
    2. Any foliage or blooms below the water will make the whole thing smell stinky and turn your water murky.<\/li>\n
    3. Roses and tulips may need a day or two to open up. Buy them ahead of time if you want to use them for an event.<\/li>\n
    4. To change out your water, stick the faucet into the vase. Fill it until it is overflowing. Then, dump out the excess water.<\/li>\n
    5. There is no perfect number of blooms to buy or a foolproof rule like using an odd number.<\/li>\n
    6. Asymmetrical designs look more organic.<\/li>\n
    7. Keep your design a little loose.\u00a0You may need to add more flowers or readjust the height. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect on the first try.<\/li>\n
    8. Try to trim your flowers so that the blooms are just above the vase’s edge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
