Follow the basic steps listed below to create a simple triangle arrangement;
Although these arrangements are normally viewed from the front, you must be careful to always create a proper design that can be viewed from all sides.

Primary Flowers: Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Gerbera Daisy, Iris and Roses can be use.
Secondary Flowers: Alstroemeria, Asters, Mini Carnations, Cornflowers, Pompon Muns, and daisies can be used.
Filler Flowers: Statice, Heather, Gypsophila, are often used
Foliage: Eucalyptus, Fern, Leatherleaf, are often used


1. Cut soaked floral foam to fit snugly into the container, leaving approximately 1 inch of foam above the rim of the container.
2. Anchor foam to container with waterproof tape. Add water.
3. Pre-green the Container:
• Take 2 stems of foliage. (leatherleaf ) Cut each in half.
• Place the top half of both stems back to back. This will form a vertical cone.
• Place foliage towards the back of the container.
• Insert remaining halves in floral foam to create a triangular outline for the arrangement.
• Fill in lightly with foliage to cover any exposed floral foam.
4. Place primary flowers into the container to establish height and width. The
First flower should be approximately 1 1/2 times the height of the container. The next primary flowers should be placed to establish the width and triangular shape.
5. Place remaining primary flowers into the container. They should be placed for maximum visibility as they help form the focal point of the arrangement.
6. Place secondary flowers into the arrangement. These will form the boundaries of the triangle and complete the arrangement.

7. If desired, place filler flowers into the arrangement to fill space and help shape design into the desired form. Filler flowers should not extend above the top flowers and should be concentrated into the body of the arrangement. Do Not overstuff the arrangement
8. Evaluate the design: adjust as needed
9. Take 1 pre-inflated 4” Get Well foil with cup-n-stick attached and place in foam as shown.
10. Helium inflate foil balloons, attach ribbon, Ultra Hi-Float and Helium inflate 11” latex balloons, attach ribbon.
11. Add 160Q Balloon Bow
• Fully inflate the 160Q with air (using 160Q Balloon Pump) and tie.
• Bend the 160Q in half. Measure up about 12” from the bottom of the 160Q and twist together.
• Find the center of the loop and push it down toward the original twist. Twist again to create two loops of equal size.
• Attach 160Q Balloon Bow to the knot of the 11” Latex Balloon
12. Arrange balloons, adjust to the desired height and attach to arrangement.
