Are you crafting a centerpiece for Sunday brunch or upgrading your WFH desk with gorgeous petals? Flower arranging can seem like a floral labyrinth, especially for beginners. But with the right tools in your arsenal, you can turn your floral fumbles into fabulous flower arrangements.
Floral Clippers
Opt for a quality pair with ergonomic handles and Teflon-coated carbon steel blades to effortlessly trim stems, excess foliage, and spent blooms.
Flower Frog
Secure a round floral pin frog at the vase base to anchor stems securely, especially in containers that are too shallow or wide.
Floral Foam
Floral foam is an excellent tool for stabilizing and prolonging the life of flowers. Like flower frogs, it securely holds flowers in place and absorbs water, enhancing their longevity.
Florist Pillow
Use a reusable pillow cage to create broad, shallow centerpieces without worrying about stems flopping over.
Gardener’s Gloves
Protect your hands with synthetic leather garden gloves that shield palms from thorny stems and sharp tools.
Pruners
Invest in durable steel pruners with classic accents for clean and efficient cutting of tougher stems.
Flower Arrangement Container
Select a wide-mouthed flower vase with an inner metal frog to support delicate blooms.
Watering Can
Look for a polished brass watering can with a long, thin anti-drip spout for both functionality and elegant design.
Chicken Wire
Use flexible floral wire netting to guide and hold arrangements in large or irregularly shaped containers.
Ties
Secure stems or attach them to stakes using floral wire, twine, or small rubber bands for a polished arrangement.
Floral Knife
Keep a quality floral knife on hand for clean and precise cutting, grafting, and pruning of stems.
Floral Picks
Enhance arrangement strength and control with wired wood picks, which benefit heavy flowers.
Thorn Stripper
Employ a pocket-sized metal thorn stripper for quick and painless removal of thorns and leaves.
Floral Tape
Utilize waterproof floral tape to create a supportive grid in your vase, adding stability to your arrangement.
Floral Adhesive
Use floral adhesives for corsages and boutonnieres, allowing flowers to stick securely to greens or bases, preventing movement or falling.
Floral Branch Cutters
Skip the scissors to avoid dulling, breaking, and hand discomfort. Opt for branch cutters or clippers, a specialized tool resembling garden clippers, perfect for effortlessly cutting through stubborn stems.
