Some people say cooking for others is like sharing their love with another person, giving them a hidden look at their inner world.

Cooking doesn’t do that for me. But home-grown and arranged bouquets? Now, that’s what lights me up!

In this post, I’ll cover the basics of arranging bouquets like a pro, including cut flower care and classic formulas for the arrangements of your dreams.

The Rule of Three’s in Arranging a Bouquet

Ever heard of the rule of thirds in visual art? Well, as it turns out, the secret key to mastering bouquet design also comes in thirds.
 
If you’re harvesting flowers from your garden, ordering online, or buying at a store, keep the following in mind. There are three main ingredients in every bouquet: showstoppers, greenery, and filler flowers.

But how much of each? That’s where the lucky number 3 comes in. 

• 1/3 Showstopping Flowers
• 1/3 Filler Flowers
• 1/3 Greenery

The above formula guarantees you lush, stunning, and well-balanced bouquets time after time. Plus, you can use it when planning your cut flower garden too!
