Pink Is Perfect

Make an impressive flower arrangement on your own. Just start with cohesive color scheme (we chose pinks in every shade).

-- Start by arranging the flowers in your hand, placing the larger flowers near the base of the group.

-- Pay attention to height and shape by arranging taller lilac stems near the top and back.

-- Lightly bind the stems with twine and place in a vase.

-- Fill in the gaps with sweet peas or other small blooms.

-- Insert a few leaves of greenery near the bottom to form a casual "rim" for the arrangement.
