Want to recreate this with your own sunny selection? Just soak floral foam in water, place it in the bottom of the watering can, trim your flower stems and pop them in. Easy!

THE SECRET TO STAYING PUT

Looking for a simple trick to keep your flowers in place? The answer could be in your fridge or on your counter right now. Just reuse your mesh produce bags! It’s easier and more cost-effective than creating a grid with floral tape. Check out the tutorial at Home is Where the Boat is.

PITCHER PEFECT

There’s something about a white pitcher that just makes the colors of a beautiful bouquet really pop. This simple rustic twist adds a little more character than a traditional glass vase. If you don’t have a white pitcher, any one will do!

CITRUS SURPRISE

Have a citrus tree in your yard? Put it to good use by lining your vase with sliced fruit. Orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit all work really well for this purpose, adding a fresh, cheerful accent that’s perfect for any spring or summer centerpiece. Follow this tutorial by Lora B to create your own lovely citrus arrangement.

BRANCH OUT

Whether you have a classic magnolia, vibrant bottlebrush or another gorgeous flowering tree, consider adding a few branches to your arrangement. Depending on what look you’re going for, branches can either add height and drama or a simple, understated elegance.
