Learning to Condition, Tie, and Wrap Bouquets

Creating beautiful bouquets is an art that involves several key techniques, including conditioning flowers, tying them together, and wrapping the final arrangement. Here’s a guide to help you master these essential skills.

Conditioning Flowers

Conditioning is the process of preparing flowers for arrangement to ensure they stay fresh and vibrant. Here are the steps involved:

• Cutting Stems: Use sharp, clean scissors or shears to cut the stems at an angle. This increases the surface area for water absorption.

• Removing Leaves: Strip any leaves that will be below the waterline in the vase to prevent bacterial growth.
