One stem at a time rather than a ready-made bouquet: it is the freest way to arrange, and the one that calls for the most method. This collection brings together roses, ranunculus, peonies, hydrangeas and dahlias as single stems, with eucalyptus foliage to go with them.

Count the stems first

An arrangement depends on its number of stems far more than on the variety of flowers. Three stems are enough in a narrow neck, seven fill a round vase, and an odd number always looks more natural. Place the most open flowers in the center and keep the buds around the edge, like the closed Sophie rose or the David.

The height is in the name

The stem length appears in the product name: 45 cm for a dahlia, 63 cm for a hydrangea, 80 cm for a eucalyptus, 85 cm for a peony. Ideally, the vase takes up a third of the total height of the arrangement. If a stem sticks out too much, simply push it further down into the neck.

Foliage shapes the silhouette

A bouquet of flowers alone quickly looks compact and a little stiff. One or two eucalyptus branches widen the whole and hide the neck of the vase, where the stems cross. Keep one dominant color and a single accent color: the Diane, Sarah or Tea roses stand on their own, and a touch of green grounds them.

Frequently asked questions

Do these flowers need water?

No, they are artificial flowers and the vase stays dry. A little gravel or sand at the bottom hides the base of the stems and steadies the arrangement in a clear vase.

How many stems for a medium vase?

Allow seven stems for a round neck and three for a narrow vase. A dense bouquet with few stems is better than a half-filled vase.

How do you dust them?

Run a soft brush or a dry cloth over the petals, from the center outward. The foliage can take a puff of cold air, held at a good distance.
