A little styling – styling tips for bouquets
The question of all questions is how to conjure up particularly beautiful bouquets from a handful of flowers. We have the most important styling tips and tricks for you to help you beautifully showcase your freshly picked flowers in a vase.

The world of colors
Bouquets look particularly harmonious when a basic color is combined with subtle nuances. Those who prefer a bolder look can combine several bright colors.
The proportions
In classic bouquets, all the flowers are usually the same length. To give a bouquet that special something, the flower shapes can be varied, and the height of the flowers can also be varied. For example, combine elongated panicles like delphiniums with ball-shaped, compact blooms like dahlias and delicate cosmos blossoms. Clematis, ivy, or Virginia creeper trailing from the bouquet adds a playful touch.

Hanataba Set – Crystal Clear
Hanataba – The Swedish innovation for breathtaking bouquets
With Hanataba, tying beautiful bouquets becomes child's play! Inspired by the Japanese art of flower arranging (hanataba = "bouquet"), this sophisticated bouquet twister allows you to effortlessly create perfect bouquets.
Here's how it works: Insert the stems of your favorite flowers from the inside out into the 19 or 7 holes of the Hanataba. By rotating the two parts in opposite directions, a harmonious bouquet unfolds, with the stems not crossing but elegantly flowing in the same direction.
The finished bouquet, complete with the decorative Hanataba, can be placed in a wide-opening vase or a bowl filled with water. Hanataba Crystal Clear lends bouquets a modern, airy lightness. Its transparent design makes the flowers appear to float, drawing the focus entirely to the natural beauty of the blossoms. The clear appearance brings a fresh, minimalist elegance to any arrangement.
Instructions for the perfect flower composition with Hanataba
1. Prepare the flowers: Select your favorite flowers and grasses. Carefully remove the leaves from the lower stems, but don't trim them yet.
2. Put the Hanataba into creation mode: Make sure the top and bottom holes of the Hanataba are exactly aligned. To keep it stable, you can secure it with some tape.
3. Place the first flower: Insert the first flower into the center hole of the top section, so that the stem emerges from the bottom. For narrow stems, you can also insert several into one hole.
4. Insert flowers: Start with the inner circle of holes and work outward. Fill the hanataba hole by hole until your bouquet reaches its full shape.
5. Adjust the stems: Carefully place the bouquet on a flat surface and trim the stems to the desired length.
6. Complete the bouquet: Remove the tape and carefully twist the top part of the hanataba clockwise until it is completely closed – this is how your perfect, harmonious bouquet unfolds.

The correct order: What comes when?
Simply place the flowers in the vase one at a time, finding the perfect position for each one. Lush blooms, such as hydrangeas, should always be placed at the edge to avoid being crushed and to show off their best. Grasses such as feather grass or diamond grass are a lovely addition to natural bouquets. They are always added last to the arrangement and often add a little visual flair. Rotate the bouquet frequently while tying it to achieve a more even look.
Filling: leaves or not?
You can add volume to your bouquet with decorative foliage. Hosta leaves are ideal for this, or, for those who prefer a more colorful look, the red leaves of Heuchera. If you find the leaves too much, simply trim them all off the stems. This adds lightness to the bouquet, making it more delicate and allowing the different blooms to stand out more.
Great idea
Complement bouquets with aromatic herbs such as sage, lavender, thyme, rosemary, or mint. They provide a wonderfully spicy scent.
Keep your distance
Every now and then, take a few steps back from your little work of art and check whether your bouquet has any unsightly gaps, whether the proportions are right or whether it needs to be trimmed a little shorter.
Sometimes less is more
The narrower the vase, the fewer flowers are needed. Tall, narrow vases also show off single or very few flowers particularly well. However, the longest stem should not be more than one and a half times the height of the vase.
