MOTHER'S DAY FLOWER ARRANGEMENT

Soft feminine pinks, subtle whites and a touch of Victorian elegance - a perfect combination for a day as special as Mother's Day.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. A perfect choice for a container for a flower arrangement as subtle and feminine as this was a vintage white china teapot.

2. Place a 'frog' or a metal flower stem holder at the bottom to hold the flowers.

3. Place the teapot facing you and start by fixing a pink gerbera at the center.

4. Add 2 carnations, one pink and one white in increasing heights just below the gerbera bloom.

5. Add fillers from your garden or the roadside to hide the stems.

Note: This arrangement has a triangular shape. The gerbera provides the height to the arrangement. When arranging the other flowers and foliage, keep in mind that you have to broaden the shape of the arrangement as you work towards the base.
