3 Ways to Style Your Mother’s Day Bouquet

Mother's Day is upon us! At last, it's your day to be spoiled and feel all the love you deserve. Your kids went above and beyond this year and delivered beautiful blooms right to your door. The only problem? The arrangement arrived in a box. But, even if you're not a floral designer by trade, that doesn't mean you can't arrange your blossoms to look gorgeous. 

Here are the top 3 ways to style a Mother's Day Spectacular bouquet, so you can proudly display them and enjoy them to their fullest. 

From tall and textured to short and square, to mixed and many, the perfect arrangement starts with the same basic steps: 

1. Remove the flowers from the box and carefully detach any wrapping

2. Always trim the stems at a diagonal and chop off at least one inch, more if you have a shallower vase 

3. Pluck any foliage from the stems that may fall below the water line

4. Fill your favorite vase with clean room-temp water

5. Separate the blooms by variety and get creative 

Tall and textured

Add some flair to your dining room by placing your Mother's Day bouquet in a tall and textured vase. Our example takes advantage of one of our favorite cut glass vases. To replicate this arrangement, start by inserting the same type of flower first to bulk out the bouquet. Now, you can express your creativity! Fill the open spaces with colorful flower varieties, and don't be afraid to experiment. 

Proflowers tip: Place flowers in the vase at a diagonal, crisscrossing the stems to help them stand tall and proud. 

Short and square

Reaching for a short vase is the perfect way to showcase the beauty of your blooms. Here we chose a square clear vase. Its minimalist profile is irresistibly modern and allows the cascading colors of the blooms to stand out. Achieving this look is easy--just follow the instructions outlined above and trim the stems to fit in your vase.

Proflowers tip: Short and square arrangements work best by adding flowers to the perimeter of the vase first and then filling in the center. This technique ensures the center flowers won't flop or fall. 

Mixed and many

If you're in the mood to try something different this Mother's Day, mixing a variety of vase sizes and shapes adds some artistry to your arrangement. Instead of having all your blooms in one vase, you can showcase them all over your home. A little perfume bottle with one to two stems is the perfect pop of color for your bathroom or kitchen. If you don't have a collection of clear bottles on hand, your local thrift or antique shop can supply you. 

Proflowers tip: Put the same color and varietal in each bottle and arrange the bottles in a cluster on the table.

Receiving your bouquet in a Proflowers box keeps your blooms fresher longer and gives you the creative freedom to arrange them in a way that's uniquely and beautifully you. Don't forget to show off your flowers on Instagram with the hashtag #Proflowers.
