Dinner table decorations

1. Cut your stems into two different heights: Trim about 12 centimeters off the tallest and enough to make the shortest two centimeters taller than your jars.

2. Split your foliage into three piles: Make sure you put a mix of stem types and heights in each pile and grab three jam jars.

3. Pop the tall stems in the middle of jars: Don’t worry about using the same stems in each jar, it’s part of the charm!

4. Finish with your shorter stems: Add them all around the outside so your jars look good from all angles.

Festive door swag

1. Trim your stems into three heights (like stadium tiers): Trimming your stems will make your door swag look lovely and full. Trim three-five centimetres off a third of your stems, five-10 centimetres off another third and 10-12 centmetres off the final third. (You can use Bloom & Wild’s handy ruler as a guide.)

2. Start arranging in your hands: Start with the tallest stems at the back, add the medium stems in the middle and the shortest stems at the front.

3. Tie together: Take some twine or ribbon and wrap around your stems where you’ve been holding them in your hands.

4. Hang them up: Turn your bouquet upside down and secure to any door or wall. Mist your stems every now and again to keep them fresher for longer.
