1-3 focal flowers, depending on size

To prepare the flowers: pull all the lower leaves off the stems and cut stems at a 45-degree angle.

To build the bouquet: start by holding one focal flower.  Add 2-3 smaller flowers and place your other focal flowers near the center of the mix.  Using the rest of your foliage and flowers, turn the bouquet and add a different ingredient each time you turn.  Finish by adding the remaining foliage and cut to fit your vase.
