DIY Floral Arranging: 7 Easy and Beautiful Flower Arrangements

Flower arrangements can seem like a science, but you don’t need to spend hours creating a spectacular arrangement. The key is to not over-think it and let the natural shape of the flowers shine. Here are some simple floral arrangements.

Easy and Beautiful DIY Floral Arrangments

1. Fields of Roses

A single rose in a bud vase is classic simplicity, but clustering multiple bud vases together creates a stunning display. Choose short bud vases, small bottles or even drinking tumblers of roughly the same height. Cluster them around a center point such as a candle in a hurricane glass.

2. Deep, Dramatic Peonies

If you have a dark vase, you have the base for dramatic elegance. Cluster dark fuchsia cockscomb in dense bunch and tease a few lush purple peonies, the stems cut just a bit longer, into the center of the arrangement. You’ll get a deep, dynamic and eye-catching display.

3. Simply Beautiful Orchids

Orchids are graceful all on their own. Arrange a few blossom-laden sprays in a richly colored, simple vase. The orchids will speak for themselves. Cream orchids will pair beautifully with a blue or red vase. White orchids give a striking Asian flare in red, and purple orchids sing in pale vases

4. A Pop of Color

A carefree arrangement of bright roses looks picturesque in a crisp, white room. Use a small, clear vase or a mason jar for a crystalline base and choose four or five roses of complimenting colors. Let them drape together over the sides of the jar at various heights, leaving the greenery on above the top of the vase to fill out the look with freshly-picked-wildflower whimsy.

5. Fresh From The Garden Alliums

The sailboat blue pom poms of alliums will bring out the cool-toned accents in any room. Create a full but not overstuffed spray with two-dozen alliums and a small-mouthed vase. Give the stems a little length and don’t worry about filling gaps.

6. Colorful Hydrangeas

With petals like tiny butterfly wings, hydrangeas are fabulously textural bunches of color. A dense cluster of hydrangeas looks beautiful in a stout, rounded bowl. Fill gaps as best you can without cramping the bunches together.

7. A Burst of Lilies

In one dense bouquet, lilies burst forth from a vase like fireworks. Place a hefty bundle of white lilies in a tall, clear vase, trimming the stems to form a rounded, slightly draping arrangement. The finished arrangement looks deliberate but carefree and looks elegant in any space.
