White miniature Roses, Baby’s Breath, light green Mini-Carnations and Hypericum Berries are usually available in the floral department of many grocers.
This combination, in the neutral colors I’ve chosen, or in any pretty color combination, make a fast and easy bouquet.
Quick Tip: The outer petals of roses are often browned or damaged. You will do no harm to the rose if you gently peel these petals away. Cut all flower stems on an angle to keep the bottoms from resting flush against the vase, this allows more water to flow through the stem.
A tall narrow vase works best for this arrangement. Cut the mini-carnations a few inches taller than the vase. Insert them into the water like the spokes on wheel.
Add the rose stems next, cut most of these double the height of the vase, with one or two an inch or two taller. The bottom stems of the carnation, will help hold the roses in place.
Fill in with some Hypercium Berries and Baby’s Breath. There you have it, the transformation of a few bunches of flowers into a bouquet that can rival anything you purchase in a floral shop.
I can see that you are happy and so want to make others happy. This is such a tender, loving post and the colors of the photos are great.
Thanks Kathy

Thank you Susie. I love creating bouquets of flowers. The flower stems were actually some leftovers I had from corsages and boutonnieres I made for our churches membership Sunday. Thanks for stopping by Susie. Kathy
