Expert Advice: DIY Flower Arrangements

One of our favorite ways to revitalise a space is using fresh flowers – there’s nothing chicer than a striking arrangement for your dining room table, home office or guest room night stand. And while we usually leave the flower arranging to the experts, there are some arrangements that we can definitely master ourselves. We asked floral maestros, Maison Des Fleurs, to show us how to create the perfect bouquet at home.

Our DIY Floral Arrangements

The Nadiya

Flowers Used

  • Preserved moss
  • 1 Orchid Bloom

Vase

The Tarateesh Pot

Method

Top Tip

If cared for correctly, preserved moss can last for up to 7 months, so all you would need to do is change the orchid bloom, to keep this arrangement looking fresh.

The Rula

Flowers Used

  • 3 Peonies
  • Pittosporum Tenuifolium (bunch)

Vase

The Mulooki Pot

 

Method

 

Top Tip

Feel free to swap flowers for in-season blooms. For example, if you can’t get hold of Peonies, why not switch
them
for equally pretty Dahlias? Or instead of Pittosporum, use Baby’s Breath.

 

The Mini Orchid

Flowers Used

  • 1 Mini Orchid
  • Preserved Moss

Vase

The Mirrors Pot

 

Method

Top Tip

To keep your Mini Orchid alive and well, place it in a bright spot but out of direct sunlight. And remember, they
do
not need heavy watering and should not sit in water, otherwise the roots will rot.

 

The Joelle

Flowers Used

  • Preserved Ruscus (small bunch)
  • 1 Orchid Bloom

Vase

The Kunooz Pot

 

Method

Top Tip

Our Preserved Ruscus has been gently bleached white and should be kept away from sudden temperature or humidity
changes.
To keep your arrangement looking fresh, simply dust it lightly.
