New Floral Arrangement Tutorial

Floral foam must be soaked before you trim it, position it and then arrange the flowers and foliage. Drop a block of floral foam into a bowl or bucket of water and lift it out as soon as it appears to have completely absorbed water or sunk to the bottom of the bucket. Don’t leave it in the water too long or it will begin to disintegrate. It's also worth using a hand spray regularly while you work to refresh the flowers.
