DIY Floral Arrangements You Can Make in 2 Hours

In the last two years, more and more people have connected with their creative side and ventured into DIY interior design and crafts. If you love flowers in your home and feel like activating your creativity, a DIY flower arrangement is the way to go! 

We have compiled a lovely step-by-step list of DIY flower arrangements you can make in 2 hours or less to inspire your creative journey. The best part? You have full creative freedom to curate an extraordinary arrangement with flowers that speak to you. 

1. Deciding on Your Colour Palette 

First, you have to decide what flower arrangement you would like to make. The best way to start is by choosing the colour palette for your arrangement. 

Arranging a monochromatic colour palette creates an enchanting spectrum of flowers with different hues of the same colour. A monochromatic arrangement is a subtle decor piece for your home that compliments your interior colours. 

If you want something that is a little more striking, select flowers with bold complimenting colours. Use green and white fillers with bright red roses or tulips to make a prominent arrangement. Or arrange deep purple flowers with soft yellow blooms for playful florals. You can also opt for Christmas colours to get in the festive spirit this season. 

Our absolute favourite current trend for floral arrangements is a delightful blend of fresh flowers and preserved flowers. By combining preserved and fresh flowers, your arrangement offers a balance between nude and vibrant colours for a stunning statement piece in your home. 

Overall, a DIY flower arrangement is all about what sparks your creativity and inspires your heart’s desires. Get playful and have a bit of fun when deciding what you would like your floral arrangement to look like. After all, it’s all about what you think looks beautiful. 

2. Collecting Your Favourite Flowers 

Once you’ve decided on your floral colour palette, it’s time to collect all your flowers. To make this process easier for you, take a look at online flower shops in Singapore to purchase fresh flowers.

The first flowers to decide on are the flowers that will be the focal point of your arrangement. If you like big, bold flowers, select roses, tulips, or chrysanthemums. Once you have chosen your floral focal point, you can select your arrangement fillers to complement them. 

Fillers are the subtle add-ons that will give your arrangement the charm, elegance, and fullness it needs. With fillers, you can get creative and combine different dried flowers, green foliage like eucalyptus, or small delicate flowers like daisies. For inspiration, here are 5 flower fillers that will make your arrangement pop. 

3. Choosing The Ideal Vase

Now that you have all your flowers ready, choosing your vessel is essential. Depending on the flowers you have chosen, use a vase that will support the longevity of your arrangement. For long-stemmed flowers like tulips or roses, a traditional long vase is best to keep your flowers fresher for longer. 

If you would like something a little more unique, you can arrange your flowers in a woven basket lined with plastic for a table arrangement or a wooden structure for a wall or table wreath. 

4. It’s Time To Arrange Your Flowers  

The fun part has finally arrived: arranging the flowers into your vase, woven basket, or wreath. To start, arrange all your greenery fillers for the base of your arrangement. Create a triangular shape with the stems in the vase to create a balanced look from all angles. 

After that, asymmetrically place your focal florals around the middle of the vase or woven basket to keep them upright and perky. If you place them on the outskirts of the vase, they will droop outside of the arrangement.  

Now, you can start adding all your filler flowers around the vase or woven basket. The ideal arrangement shape to have in mind is a dome. Place all your floral fillers to create a dome shape that looks full without gaps.

For the final touches, add the smaller fillers by bunching a few of them together. Place them around the arrangement to fill in any gaps or create the desired look you want. Et voila! You have just created your own DIY flower arrangement! 

Arranging a Wreath

For arranging a wreath, cut all the stems to fit into the wire or wooden frame. You can either fill all around the frame or leave some of the frame naked to create a contrast between the petals and wood. Follow the same steps as arranging a vase by placing the greenery first, the focal flowers next, and then the floral fillers to fill any empty spaces.
