Bring on the spring blooms and create a fast and fresh spring bouquet with our seasonal favorites!
Homemade spring flower arrangement
The florals include French tulips, parrot tulips and anemones in pink and blush, which we paired with light green carnations and beautiful silver dollar eucalyptus. Pink, blush, silver and light green evoke a lovely fresh and airy feel when mixed together that will bring an instant spring accent to your home.
I used a tall vintage vase with a flared opening on a silver pedestal. A tall container is ideal for flower with long stems and helps to balance the bouquet. The bouquet is a great spring centerpiece and makes a lovely gift.

Spring Flower Bouquet Instructions
Bring on the spring blooms and create a fast and fresh spring bouquet with our seasonal favorites! The florals include French tulips, parrot tulips and anemones in pink and blush, which we paired with light green carnations and beautiful silver dollar eucalyptus. Instead of a pink and mint color scheme, you can also create the bouquet with purple anemones and violet tulips, or with flowers in shades of orange and yellow.
Materials
- 12 blush French tulips
- 12 pink parrot tulips
- 12 – 14 pink anemones
- 8 – 9 green carnations
- 5 – 6 branches silver dollar eucalyptus
- green florist
- green raffia or ribbon
Tools
- secateurs
- florist’s knife
- tall pedestal vase or jug
Instructions
- Prep the flowers. Allow the flowers to rest in fresh water for 2 hours, which has flower food added, 2 hours before you start. Prep the tulips, anemones, and carnations by removing lower 2/3 of leaves from the flower stems. We left a few of the tulip leaves. Cut the eucalyptus stems in half and strip off the bottom leaves.
- Building the bouquet. To create the center of the bouquet, bundle 2 anemones, 2 French tulips, 2 parrot tulips, 3 carnations and 2 to 3 eucalyptus branches. Going in a circular motion, add the next round of flowers, alternating between tulips, tulips, anemones, carnations and eucalyptus. Arrange the stems at an angle, forming a spiral around the center. Continue this process with another layer of flowers and greenery.
- Finish the bouquet. Shorten the stems to the same length. Using green raffia or ribbon, tie the bouquet tightly together in the middle. Finally, cut the stems of the flowers at a flat angle, which helps these flowers to absorb more water and stay fresh longer. Place the bouquet in the vase and enjoy!
