How many times has this happened to you? You forgot an important occasion, like a holiday, birthday, or anniversary, and now it's too late to call a florist. You can pick up a bouquet of flowers at the supermarket, sure, but you'll make a better impression if you arrange them to look as if a professional designed this bouquet just for your loved one. Florist Alexander Campbell takes us through the process of designing a floral arrangement from selecting the color palette to choosing the right flowers to laying them just so. You can do this when it's not an emergency, to save some money and give your home a splash of fresh color. You'll get a nice sense of achievement, too.
But I'd like to know where you find a grocery store that will let you pick four of this flower and six of that flower, plus a handful of greenery. It must be a big city thing. However, you can use these same principles when picking flowers from your backyard garden to bring inside. -via Nag on the Lake
