How to Make an Elegant Silk Flower Arrangement

Flower arranging can seem like a daunting task, but it becomes easy and flawless when you implement a few simple concepts. Begin your arrangement with greenery and a simple shape, then fill it in with the flowers that are the main focus. Design your arrangement around the shape of your container.

Things You'll Need

  • Container, such as a vase or pot
  • Floral pins
  • Double-sided tape
  • Floral foam to fit your container
  • Silk flowers and greenery
  • Floral wire

Instructions

    • 1

      Secure floral pins to the bottom of your container with double-sided tape. Push floral foam down onto the pins to secure the foam inside the container.

    • 2

      Choose a relative shape for your arrangement that complements the shape of the container. An oval arrangement may best suit a short, round container, while a crescent shape (a long arrangement with one side taller than the other) may be best for a long, thin container. The shape should allow the focal flowers to be visible and prominent in the arrangement.

    • 3

      Put a few stems of greenery into the floral foam to outline the desired shape and height of your arrangement. This is the foundation for the shape of your arrangement.

    • 4

      Place your focal point flowers in the desired locations. Push the stems into the floral foam until the flowers are of the desired height and position. Use the height of your outlining greenery as a guide.

    • 5

      Fill in the rest of the arrangement with secondary flowers and more greenery. Use floral wire to secure some stems together if necessary to prevent shifting.
