Florals

The best way to learn floral design depends on your learning style and preferences. We recommend:
● Hands-on workshops and classes
● Online courses and tutorials
● Books and magazines
● Practicing and experimenting
● Observing and studying floral arrangements.

Remember, you can try multiple classes to learn different styles and techniques.

Some general tips for arranging flowers include:
● Soak them in water for a few hours to help them stay hydrated.
● Remove any leaves or thorns below the vase's water line to prevent bacteria growth.
● Cut the stems of the flowers at an angle so they can easily absorb water.
● Arrange the flowers by height, with the tallest flowers in the center.
● Mix with different textures and colors to create visual interest.
● Use filler flowers and greenery to add volume and texture.

● Change the water in the vase every two days. Use lukewarm water and add flower food where possible.
● Trim the stems of the flowers about 1-2 centimeters every two days.
● Keep the arrangement away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts.
● Remove any wilted or yellowing flowers from the arrangement.
● Keep the flowers in a cool room, if possible.
● Mist the flowers with water to keep them hydrated and fresh.
● Wash the vase with warm soapy water and let it air dry before using it again.

A well-cared-for flower arrangement can last anywhere from a few days to a week (sometimes more), with roses, ranunculus, lilies and carnations typically lasting the longest. Something like tulips, however, will last roughly five days.

The main priorities are ensuring the vase is tightly secured by placing it on a flat surface or tying it with seat belts or straps.

You also should avoid extreme temperatures and keep the car cool.

We ask for at least three weeks' notice, so your event coordinator has time to ship all the supplies. But, if you do find yourself in a pinch, simply contact our team for viable options. This goes for online classes and face-to-face events.

Picking a good place to arrange flowers starts with the size of your group and the desired atmosphere. You could use a private event space at a bar or restaurant, a community center, your workplace, or someone’s home.

Of course, you and your guests can be anywhere for online classes. Just make sure you have space to lay out your stems.

"Private event" is the term we use for a private booking, not from our public events calendar on PaintNite.com. This could be an intimate celebration, office team building or a way to welcome new hires.

We offer a wide selection of in-person events, hybrid and virtual events for all occasions.

"Private party" is our name for pretty much any non-business event. For example, bachelorette parties, birthday parties, family reunions...any time you have something to celebrate (or even if you don't!).
