Step 1. Choose a hero flower or an odd number of blooms
Step 2. Prepare them by trimming the stems. Refresh in hand-hot water - this opens up the petals.

Step 4. Start with filler, then pretty foliage (with the stems stripped)

Step 6. Add an accent with smaller flowers in a contrasting colour and texture.Enjoy your beautiful bouquet that you’ve made in less than 5 mins!
