Every Sunday I hit up my local farmers market to stock up on all sorts of goodies for the week. Any fruits and veggies we need – check! My favorite artisanal hummus and dips, you betcha. And fresh flowers, naturally. One of my best friends happens to live a few blocks from me and she is the QUEEN of flowers. Like she\u2019s one of those people who always has fresh blooms in her house – major goals right there for me. I\u2019d like to be that person one day. She also puts together a killer arrangement so I bribed her with blooms and beverages, Palm Breeze<\/a> (duh), to give me a lesson the other day.<\/span><\/p>\n

First stop – farmers market. We both grabbed a variety of blooms. Kasey went for roses and sunflowers – I went with more of a color motif situation with whites, greens and yellows of all shapes and sizes. It\u2019s spring, so I just went for it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Second stop – back to the house!\u00a0 <\/span>There are only a few things you need to get started. 1: containers. I like low flower arrangements because nothing drives me crazier than when I can\u2019t see someone sitting on the other side of the table from me. You also need tape. Something that I wasn\u2019t aware of. And your flowers. And your beverage of choice! Kasey is a Ruby Red Citrus kinda gal and I opted for the Pineapple Mandarin Orange.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apparently HERE IS THE KEY. Wait for it. I\u2019m about the change your floral design life. It\u2019s all about taping off the container in a grid. That way you can carefully place flowers all around and they actually stay where you want them to stay. Like, who knew? Clearly I\u2019ve been living under a rock, but maybe you have been too and I just changed your life. If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019re welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

So once your tape grid is in place, just start popping in flowers left and right and mixing up the sizes so it feels balanced. I\u2019m not going to lie that I was PRETTY impressed by mine, Kasey\u2019s is gorgeous, naturally!<\/span><\/p>\n
