Peak flower-picking season is nearly upon us, and nothing breathes fresh life into a space—or brightens someone’s special day—quite like a lush display of blooms. No bed of tulips in your backyard? Not to worry! Our in-house floristry expert, Sarah Ponthieu, is here to demonstrate how to assemble an easy, garden-inspired bouquet using select stems from your local grocer or farmer’s market.
All you need are a set of shears, a healthy bundle of foliage and flowers, and most important, the right vase to serve as your base. Click play to discover Sarah’s pro tips, then shop below to find the perfect vessel to complement your own showstopper arrangement.

Nadya from SunnyFlowersShop said 1 year ago
OMG! As a fan of flowers, I really enjoy this DIY. And these vases are so beautiful and so inspiring !!

A unique vase is always nice otherwise arrangements can look generic. An unusual vase whether from Etsy or country inspired vase from a can of tomatoes is a nice touch. Using a single color palette, or using one type of flower can be very elegant and clean. My favorite beside mentioned would be three colors at the most and using opposite colors in bouquet for contrast. Pink and green for example.
