 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Floral Foam

• Cut the foam to fit snugly into your square container.
• Soak it in water with flower food for 15–20 minutes until fully saturated.
• Place it in the container securely. Tape it if needed.

2. Create a Greenery Base

• Start by inserting greenery around the edges to outline the square shape.
• Fill the base and sides, creating a box-like frame.
• This will help define the shape and add volume.

3. Insert Main Flowers

• Choose 3–5 main flowers for focal points.
• Trim stems at an angle and insert them at even heights in the center and corners.
• Keep them symmetrical to maintain the square structure.
• Distribute the flowers evenly for balance.

4. Add Secondary & Filler Flowers

• Use smaller flowers to fill in between the main ones.
• Work from the center outward, ensuring even distribution on all four sides.
• Rotate the arrangement as you work to keep it symmetrical.

5. Fill Gaps with More Greenery or Filler

• Check for any gaps and fill them with smaller blooms or leaves.
• Maintain the square outline by trimming any stems that stick out.

6. Finishing Touches

• Mist the arrangement with water.
• Ensure the floral foam remains wet daily.
• Clean the container edges and wipe away any debris.
