Hur ordnar du blommor i oasis
Kallt vatten +20°C, till blommor med mjuka stjälkar, allium, anemon, fresia, gladiolus, ranunkel och tulpan. Rumstempererat vatten +30°C, till blommor med medelhårda stjälkar, astilbe, brudslöja, ginst, forsythia, körsbärskvistar, ros och syren. Gör gärna ett långt snitt, vilket gör det lättare för blomman att suga vatten. So when I had leftover flowers from my rainbow flowers for St. So I started with three packs of grocery store flowers, a block of Oasis and a low, narrow vase and started experimenting.
To judge how many flowers you need, pick your vase first. Better to buy too many flowers than to have too few. If you have flowers left over, you can always make some mini arrangements for side tables or your powder room. Obviously, an arrangement that has only one front will take fewer flowers and cost less. If you want to create a centerpiece that will be viewed from all sides, you will need more flowers. In my case, I might have needed 15 more stems.
This post from Blooms by the Box gives you a handy chart with recommended stem counts. They also offer this helpful centerpiece tutorial. Oasis is a foam brick designed for floral arranging. You wet it and it retains water. I was shocked at how much longer my flowers stayed fresh in the Oasis compared to just being in water. You can also trim it to fit your vase. Buy it here or an Amazon. I wanted an asymmetrical, more modern shape — a taller portion, plus stems cascading off the sides.
That meant my stems had to be cut to different lengths. I eye-balled the length of each stem by holding it vertically next to the vase. Be sure to cut your stems at an angle. Instead, I filled in gaps with a few pieces of greenery at the end. Push them about halfway into the Oasis so they have good support. The triangle positioning helps you achieve that balance. Also, when you choose your flowers think about how color and size can contribute to balance.
For example: group of smaller-headed yellow flowers could balance a large sunflower. You can see how I established my taller side with lilies and peach roses. To maintain balance, I worked with all of one flower, then all of another. That kept me thinking in terms of triangles.

Also check to see if you are maintaining your shape outline. And I balanced those with additional purple flowers, placed front and center. See the triangle? The flowers continued to open up throughout the week and really lasted.

In fact, I pulled out one or two blooms that went over and kept the whole of the arrangement for a solid seven days. Even then, when it was time to let the big arrangement go, I removed several buds, cut them down to mini vase size and we all had individual arrangements at our dinner table for another week. Some magnificent arrangements. Your email address will not be published. Spread the love. Related Posts.
