In Water Arranging flowers in a glass container in water, has become quite popular. The technique is actually a very old one that was practiced by floral designers for many years prior to the invention of foam. It is enjoying contemporary popularity for three major reasons. First of all, the flowers are all in water, and thus will generally last a bit better than in a foam base. Secondly, it is pleasing visually.
Designs stylized in water tend to look quite natural.
Finally, it is also a good way to arrange flowers that may not last well at all in a foam base such as Calla Lilies, or Iris. We hope that you enjoy your explorations of stylizing flowers in water. The trick to arranging flowers easily in a water base is to start with a wise choice of a glass container. While you can design flowers in virtually any glass vase, make your life a little easier. If possible, use a glass vase where there is a narrowing of the neck or tapered effect.
