The 90-Minute Plan

Select flowers with intention0–15 min

Mix sizes: large focal flowers, medium filler, small delicate flowers. Color harmony: analogous or complementary.

Prepare stems properly15–35 min

Remove lower leaves (bacteria in water). Cut stems at angle with sharp knife. Longer stems support structure.

Build foundation structure35–55 min

Establish heights and depths. Place largest flower first. Build around it. Consider viewing angles.

Add filler and greenery55–75 min

Greenery (eucalyptus, fern) provides texture. Filler flowers (baby's breath) create airiness. Balance density.

Finish and refresh75–90 min

Adjust positions for balance. Add water with flower food. Change water every 2 days. Rotate vase.

Pro Tip

Odd numbers (3, 5, 7) feel more natural than even; asymmetry looks more alive than perfect symmetry.
