Gift wrapped bouquets
These flat style bouquets are simply layered and left with long stems, so the recipient can arrange them into a container or vase of their choice. Perfect for creative friends or someone who enjoys arranging flowers.
Put the sachet of flower food in the container and fill with water. Unwrap the flowers and remove the string or ribbon they are tied with. Next remove any leaves that would be below the water line. Gauge the height of the flowers against your container and trim at least 2cm off the stem at an angle.
The flowers are left long in the bouquet so you can put them in a tall vase if you prefer, you may need to cut more than 2cm off the length to make them the right height for your vase. To make the display more aesthetically pleasing you might choose to vary the height of different flowers. Place the flowers out of direct heat and sunlight, away from fruit and draughts.
