Colorful hues, versatile scents, and diverse looks make an enchanting flower box. Freshly prepared bouquets can add the serenity and natural beauty your place needs to brighten it up. Nonetheless, preparing a box of flowers on your own may seem impossible. Especially since the flower shop prepped always look so perfect.

Today we'll be looking at how a professional florist places flowers in a box or a vase and makes them look like they were made for that particular occasion.

Step: 1 Getting all the essentials

When a florist attempts to place flowers in a box, or any other vessel they want, they do it very gently. The equipment used does not make flowers look confined rather makes them look very fitting in that particular place. They use fresh flowers and greens along with proper flower shears, not scissors.

Step: 2 Prepping the vessel and the flowers

After gathering all the necessary items, a florist gets started on their masterpiece. They don't simply put the flowers in a box; rather, they fill the vessel with water and flower food. Afterward, they remove extra stems and leaves from the chosen flowers. They will assemble the boquet after cleaning up and prepping both the vessel and the flowers.

Step: 3 Assembly of the bouquet

They start with basic ones and leave the spotlight flowers and the greens for later. A little at a time, they fill up the vessel and then add the accented flowers too. Afterward, they take the greens, whether ivy or eucalyptus, and fill in the gaps left. This makes your bouquet seem full, adds volume, and gives a more aesthetic feel to the whole thing.

Step: 4 Final touches

After the bouquet is done, the florist looks to see if it requires any changes. They fill in gaps, place ribbons, and even tweak the flowers a bit to make them look just perfect, and viola, a breathtaking bouquet, is all set for the perfect occasion.

Wrapping it up

Every florist has unique styles, and they come up with iconic pieces that fit their style and match the occasion. The signature bouquet adds the beauty a contemporary place needs. A flower bouquet can set the theme of an event, such as natural or even rustic. You can check out other florists to know more about what goes on in the life of a professional florist.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
