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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
