Arranging your flowers

Bells of Ireland: Bells of Ireland looks gorgeous arranged among other flowers. It is a great accent among roses, or big puffy flowers. It can also be a simple statement if you place in a vase on their own.

Eryngium Orion: They look beautiful on their own in a taller vase. They are a great way to add hight to a room.
White Tulips: Tulips look beautiful by themselves in narrow neck vase. Just placing a few in a vase will look pretty and modern. They tend to bend to the side, but it gives a nice effect and movement to the piece.

Finesse and Rodeo Roses: Give them a cut, and remember you can always cut more off, so start small. You don't want them to be too short. Gather them together as if you are holding a bouquet, and let them go once the stems are inside your vase. They should spread naturally.

You can also cut the heads off the roses and put them in a low vase like this one. If you don't have a vase like this you can cut the heads off a couple of roses and let them float in a small bowl, or even a wine glass.
Jatropha: makes a beautiful statement on it's own in a smaller vase. it adds a pop of color to any space.
Baby green hydrangeas: These will look great in a tall vase mixed with big leafy greens. Or the would look great mixed in with the roses.
Queen Anne's Lace: They look beautiful ion their own in a taller vase, or as an accent among other flowers, like roses.
