Top flower tips and tricks from The Flower Chef: Unique Centerpieces

If you make an arrangement the day before a party, you’ll notice the water in the vase is dirty the next day. Usually we flush out the water under a faucet. But really large arrangements such as this one won’t fit under the faucet. So change out the water by gently tilting the vase in the sink, pushing aside the flowers to make space, and emptying out the water. Fill the vase with fresh water from a hose or a watering can.
Blue hydrangea, lilies, calla lilies - modern arrangement

For a bolder variation on this recipe, switch out the white mini calla lilies and freesia for a single bunch each of orange spray roses and solidaster, then add a stem of red anthurium.
White callas, orange orchids, yellow freesia.

I use alstroemeria as the filler flower, which lasts about 2 weeks. The tulips and irises wilt faster, but changing the water frequently will increase their longevity. This arrangement actually looks better over time, as the flowers bloom, open up, and lift up and outward.
Irises, red tulips.
