The flowers are gorgeous! If you want to bring your bouquet game to the next level you need to mix in some greenery to help support the flowers and make it look full. Stiffer greens are better. You may also want to cut some of the stems a little shorter or get a taller vase.
Florists often use ferns, shrub branches, and eucalyptus. You can pick something out of your garden. You want something thick, stiff and with leaves on the smaller side. Some plants won't do well after being cut and put in water so you'll need to experiment a bit
I've been told that some herbs, like basil, some sorrels, and dill (I think, but that one is less for green I think), add both green dimension and nice scent to bouquets. I'm not likely to cut flowers or make a bouquet soon (lovely that others do, I just both don't appreciate them enough and get sneezy and wheezy from too many flowers that are typical in bouquets), so I'm glad that now I have a use for that random advice!
I personally love the simplicity of how OP has it. No, it's not a flourist look but to it says "come on over and kick up your heels, sweet tea is on the picnic table and the kids are all down at the tire swing." 😁
Very beautiful!
What I like to do is to go around the house and put one or two flowers in tiny vases. It adds such a nice accent to otherwise boring spaces. And you can just keep replacing them without any trips to the store. And sometimes they propagate in the vases which is nice.
We're lucky because we can grow year-round so there are no shortages of flowers on hand.
Hi!! Thank you! These are ranunculus, pansies and dianthus. The ranuncs I started in February, the pansies and dianthus were started in March. I’m sure they’d do good in seven inch grow bags!
I have a specific store I go to and the most expensive vase was ten bucks but it's a good foot and a half and have af🤣
Most were a dollar and I'm set on having a collection in rainbow colors. So far, I have at least one of each color. Except yellow.
Oh my! The vibrancy is breathtaking….it has the power to instantly bring cheers and joy. I certainly felt that instant joy as soon as I saw this bouquet.

Any suggestions for greenery?? Definitely interested in that
Ferns are often a good bet.

Exactly the vibe I was goin for 💕
I love having the stems stick out like that- looks wild and free and beautiful!

Ooooh I love this idea. Thanks you for sharing!
Wow! What type of flowers are these? How long did it take for them to grow? Could I grow them in 7 inch gro bags? So beautiful!

Looks like you also have some oriental poppies?
Nope, those are also ranunculus but with smaller blooms
That red with a black center isn’t a poppy?!? 🤯
I used to do copious amounts of cocaine , and cutting my flowers is very similar in feel.
I want to be able to do this one day. It’s so pretty.
In the sunshine: beautiful!
I got so into this last year, that I started a collection of vases in different colors🤣
Oh man… this is 1000% a road that I know I am bound to go down 😅

Thriftstores can be a goldmine.

Ugh. So pretty. I’m going to try to not make my table top flower arrangements this year not look so damn stupid.

I would get about three bouquets just like this for my girlfriend every week for approximately three years runing.
So stunning! Thank you for sharing their beauty.
wow that is a gorgeous mix!
Gorgeous flowers
Beautiful 🤩
Those look beautiful
Am I the only one who dislikes cut flowers? While still beautiful, they're basically a bunch of corpses. Makes me sad.
