Step 1

Lay out all the blooms and supplies on the table to ensure you have enough to cover the foam completely.

Step 2

Cut approximately 6" [15.2 cm] off the pink hydrangea stems. Poke stems firmly into the foam to keep them in place as a starting base for the design.

Step 3

Cut approximately 3" [7.6 cm] off the bottom of all orchids. Then poke three orchid stems into the top left of the foam and the remaining orchid into the bottom right.

Step 4

Cut approximately 2"-3" [5.1 cm-7.6 cm] diagonally from the bottom of each Larkspur stem and poke evenly throughout the arrangement.
TIP: Grab a few extra stems when shopping to add volume. Style them in the same direction as the orchids to give a cascading effect.

Step 5

Repeat Step 4 using the pink Larkspur and purple Lilac, evenly distributing both blooms throughout the arrangement.
TIP: Allow a few blooms to drape off the top left and bottom right to continue the cascade effect.

Step 6

Distribute the pink and purple flower blooms through the arrangement.
TIP: These blooms come with several stems per bunch. Cut them off individually to give yourself more blooms to work with for your wall hanging.

Step 7

Go through all of your poked-in blooms and lightly tug on the end of each to ensure they are firmly secured in the foam.

Step 8

Attached the floral piece to any free-standing furniture or backdrop.
