�tips that you can follow when making a flower arrangement.You can pick your flowers and bring them into the house to prepare your bouquet. Many types of fresh flowers have leaves that will not look good squished into a vase so you should remove any leaves that take up extra space in the vase. This would include leaves that you can't see and leaves that are too tight in the bouquet of flowers. Be gentle as you remove the extra leaves that you do not damage the flower stem. Take off any leaves that would be below the water line since they would decay and pollute the water in the vase.Cut the bottoms of the stems on an angel. When you cut the stems at an angel they don't stick to the bottom of the vase and they can suck up more water to keep the flowers fresher longer.Arrange the flowers the way you want them in the vase. Put taller flowers in places behind shorter flowers so that you can see all the flowers in the vase. You can add an aspirin or two to the water that you are going to put your flowers in. You can put some water into a pitcher and place the aspirins into the pitcher of water. Then mix up the water and aspirin together in the pitcher. After you have the aspirin mixed into the water add the water to your vase of fresh flowers. You can have the aspirin water in the vase before you put the flowers in or you can put the flowers in the vase first but you must get the water to the flowers quickly to prevent the flowers from drying out.When you arrange a bouquet of flowers you should get the flowers to water as soon as you can. The faster the flowers are places in water the better chance the flowers have at staying alive longer. If the water gets cloudy as the flowers sit in the vase it is ok to change the water in the vase.Tips for Preparing a Fresh Flower Arrangement
