A simple recipe to make a bountiful bouquet is use four shapes of flowers:Line , Filler, Focal and Bits<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. Line<\/em> flowers<\/strong> are tall and linear in shape. They help determine height and width the arrangement.<\/p>\n

2. Filler<\/em> flowers<\/strong> fill out the arrangement. This type of flowers usually grow in clusters on a single stem.<\/p>\n

3. Focal<\/em> flowers\u00a0<\/strong> (sometimes called Mass Fowers) give your eye a place to rest. They are naturally big flowers with a round shape on a single stem. They are usually placed near the center of designs<\/p>\n

4. Bits<\/strong> <\/em>are any tiny flower, berries, pods, etc which give movement and texture to the arrangement.<\/p>\n

I purchased a consumer pack from my local grocery store.\u00a0 3 bunches for $10.00.\u00a0 I choose (from right to left) Stock flower for Lines<\/em><\/strong>, Alstromeria forFiller<\/strong>,<\/em> and Gerber Daisy for Focal<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0 I also selected flowers in the same color scheme to keep it visually pleasing.\u00a0\u00a0 I had small flowers in my yard I could use as Bits.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nFirst, I inserted some greens that I snipped from my yard and then inserted the Line Flowers<\/em><\/strong> \u2013the Stock<\/em>. The stems of the greens create underwater architecture which holds the flowers in place.<\/p>\n

\nNext I added the Filler Flowers<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the Alstromeria<\/em> to fill out the shape of the arrangement and give it mass.<\/p>\n

Next I added my Focal Flowers<\/strong> \u2013 the Gerber Daisies <\/em>to attract attention.<\/p>\n

And finally to really finish it off, I added a few Bits<\/strong> \u2013 berries, safflowe<\/em>r andmini sunflowers<\/em> gathered from my yard.<\/p>\n
