Toss out the rules on flower arrangements! You no longer need to hide floral foam. Find some pretty clear- glass containers and pick up some blooms. Just add water and have fun!

Rectangular Vase With White Wildflowers In Between Blue Stryofoam

1 of 8 |

ZEN WITH TWIG & TULIPS A contemporary arrangement (top left) starts with a rectangular vase 9 inches tall, 16 inches across and 5 inches deep. Els used blue powder to form a 3-inch-deep base, then cut rectangles of matching blue rigid foam to use as spacers. Thick birch limbs and longer, airy birch twigs sit between each block. Wrap stems of eight to 10 white tulips with hosta leaves and place beside the wood. Els carefully opened the petals of some of the tulips to expose their yellow centers.
