Follow the basic steps listed below to create a simple triangle arrangement

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 to make a triangular
9. Add Florist Bow
• 8” from one end of ribbon, pinch firmly between thumb and index finger.
• Make a 3” loop (half the size of finished bow) pinch tightly. If ribbon is one-sided, twist length to right side. Make second loop and pinch over first pinch.
• Repeat this process forming 4 loops on each side.
• Make a center knot by forming a small loop over your thumb, pinch and wire all loops together.
10. Take 2 pre-inflated 4” Pink Smile Face foils with cup-n-stick attached and place in foam as shown.
11. Helium inflate foil balloons, attach ribbon, Ultra Hi-Float and Helium inflate all latex balloons, attach ribbon.
