Creative Ways to Display Flowers
 So you have a bouquet of fresh flowers. Now what? You can keep the bunch
together in a single vase, or take it apart and bring nature to every room in your
house!
Choose a single, large bloom and clip off the stem. Float the head in a wide-mouthed
vase filled with water.
Baby’s breath looks fabulous on its own – if you use lots. Secure the stems with
floral wire or rubber bands to keep the bunch crowded together. This throng looks
rustic and cheerful in a tall vase.
Put simple, pale flowers in brightly colored containers. The contrast is beautiful.
Cut stems of blooming flowers very short, and stuff a bunch of them into a low,
square container. This over-stuffed grouping looks great on a side table.
Pick a single, tall bloom (like lily or ginger), and cut the stem very short. Stick the
flower in a bud vase so that the bottom part of the head is stuffed down. It  will look
as if it is blooming right out of the vase.
Use unusual containers. Create a whimsical floral arrangement in a shoe. Grab a tin
can for an outdoor garden look. Any container that holds water can be used to
display your flowers. Have fun with this.
Arrange multiple small glass jars in clusters, and place a single flower in each.
Display the whole arrangement grouped together in one space.
Having a party? You can put a flower at each place setting. Use single bud vases, or
float the head of a flower in a wide martini glass beside each plate.
Pull off the petals of a flower, and hot glue them around a candle. This candle can be
displayed alone on a table, atop a bunch of tossed petals, or in the center of a
bouquet of flowers.
Tie a bouquet together at the stems, and hang it upside down. When the blooms
dry, use raffia to decorate the stems. A dried bouquet looks pretty resting on a book
on a shelf.

Green is associated with nature, and so it is calming and restful. In fact, green is one of the most restful colors. It reduces activity of the nervous system and relieves muscle tension.
