5 Tips for Arranging Your Target Flowers
The win of having fresh flowers at Target means you can pick up everything you need right then and there. Shearers, a vase, even flower food? Check. After picking out some blooms and bringing them home, here’s how I ensure a lively, healthy arrangement that feels fresh, not store-bought.
Trim like a pro
I always trim 1-2 inches off the stems at a diagonal and remove any leaves below the water line. This helps ensure the water stays clean and the flowers can drink it up better.
Consider structure
Sometimes I like to pull in some extra greens as support—like eucalyptus or fern—to create a base shape for the flowers. These can also be more of the same flower, if you’re going for a monotone look.
Let nature lead
Layer in flowers by height and type. Let some blooms stand taller while others tuck lower into the vase for a more natural, garden-gathered look. When in doubt, think of what you’d find out in nature and trust the beauty of an organic, imperfect shape.
Don’t overfill
Keeping some negative space helps prevent that “tight ball” look. Give your flowers room to breathe and if you don’t use them all, that’s ok. (And what bud vases are for!)
Refresh often
Upkeep is just as important as how you begin. Every few days, I like to change out the water, trim stems again, and remove any fading flowers. As some blooms fade, I’ll remove and add them to the compost.
Worth noting: Good Little Garden items are also available through Target’s same-day services like Drive Up and Order Pickup. Target Circle 360 members can have their Good Little Garden purchases delivered to their doorstep through same-day delivery on orders over $35.
