Restful Colors Wake up to some soothing bedside arrangement. Designer Lori Dennis used a glass vase full of hyacinth and white tulips to give this restful space a touch of spring.
Unarranged Arrangements Arranging flowers should not be intimidating or complicated. Simply choose three blossoms in complementary colors and shapes. Cut stems so blossoms sit two inches above the top of container, remove all leaves that will fall under the water line, and bunch flowers together in a tight, tight mounded arrangement. To maintain arrangements clean, cut on the ends and change the water every day or two. Typically, most arrangements continue about a couple weeks.
