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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
