Even if you are not lucky enough to live in a tropical environment, you can surround yourself with beautiful exotic plant life. Floral designer Kim Alexander shows how to make striking flower arrangements that would inspire Mother Nature herself. The key in designing a stylized flower arrangement is simplicity. If your vase is too small or narrow, it may tip over. Aesthetically, it s nice to select a container that complements the vivid colors of the flowers but try to keep the container simple.
Solid colors are best.
You want your flowers to be the focal point in your arrangements. Test foam for saturation. You may need to stack several blocks one on top of another inside the vase. Soak the foam in water for a few minutes until it is thoroughly saturated. Fill the container with water.
