How To Arrange Flowers Using Carnations?

In this video clip, a floral design industry professional, Margaret Egiziaco, demonstrates how to create a simple centerpiece using carnations, pompon buttons, and other flowers. Carnations are an ideal flower for creating inexpensive yet beautiful floral arrangements, as they are fluffy and available in most colors. The video provides tips and techniques to help create beautiful floral arrangements that showcase the beauty of these flowers.

Carnations can transform any space in your home, from the serenity of white carnations in a bathroom to the vibrant joy of mixed colors on a dining table. To start arranging the carnations, insert a cut carnation stem in the center of the flower frog, which should stand up on its own.

To create a simple carnation centerpiece, stick to one color and trim each carnation slightly taller than the vase. Soak the floral form until it’s fully saturated and dark green, then cut the flowers off of their stems, leaving a few inches of stem intact.

Bonch the carnations together tightly to make the arrangement look more professional and luxurious. If the arrangement looks sparse, consider adding more flowers to the arrangement to create a more visually appealing look.
