One of my favorite memories growing up was when my mom would return from the farmer's market with bundles of fresh flowers every weekend.  I remember watching in anticipation as she would intricately trim and place each stem into a vase.  Ever since, I have taken an interest in putting together my own arrangements.  I have practiced different  ways to put together bouquets, but find this one requires the least effort.

1.  Start with a variety of flowers (Stick to a simple palate.  I usually gravitate toward peonies and textured hydrangea, but this time around couldn't resist these vibrant colors)

2.  Gather supplies - trimming shears, vase, and tape.

3.  With tape, create a grid making rows and columns.  Then, secure the edges by taping down the perimeter just below the top of the vase. 

4.  Trim the stems in desired lengths, alternating high and low, and place in the grid.

5.  Finish off with the filling the empty parts of the grid with the last bundle of flowers, arranging evenly both high and low.
