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.
