Ingredients

Prepare the Flowers:

Remove any leaves from the lower part of the stems of gerberas, roses, tulips, and sunflowers.
Strip the leaves from the lower part of the bupleurum, Italian ruscus, pittosporum, green hydrangea, and green hypericum stems.

Condition the Flowers:

Cut the stems of all flowers and greenery at a 45-degree angle under running water to allow for better water absorption.
Place the flowers and greenery in a bucket of fresh, cool water with flower food for a few hours to hydrate.

Prepare the Vase:

Fill the large vase with fresh water and add the recommended amount of flower food to prolong the freshness of the arrangement.

Assemble the Arrangement:

Create a Base with Greenery:
- Start by placing the stems of Italian ruscus and pittosporum in the vase, evenly distributing them to form a base.
- Add the bupleurum stems, interspersing them with the other greenery for a balanced look.
Add the Focal Flowers:
- Insert the sunflowers into the vase first, positioning them slightly taller than the other flowers to create height and drama.
- Add the hot pink roses around the sunflowers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Add the Supporting Flowers:
- Place the orange gerberas between the roses, arranging them to create a harmonious blend of colors.
- Insert the orange tulips around the arrangement, allowing their natural curve to add movement and interest.
Add the Fillers:
- Insert the green hydrangea and green hypericum stems throughout the arrangement to add texture and fullness. Ensure they are evenly distributed for a balanced look.

Final Touches:

Step back and assess the arrangement, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a balanced and visually appealing look.
Trim any stems that are too long or out of place, ensuring the overall shape is harmonious.

Flower Selection: Choose fresh, vibrant flowers with firm petals for the best appearance and longevity.
Balance and Symmetry: Arrange the flowers in a way that creates a balanced and symmetrical look, using the sunflowers as focal points
