🌿 Step 2: Pick the Right Container

You don’t need fancy vases—mini-arrangements shine in:

Mason jars

Glass bottles
Vintage teacupsThe key is proportion—your container should be about half the height of your tallest flower.

Start with greenery as a base for structure.
Add focal flowers (like roses or lilies) in odd numbers for balance.

Change the water every 2–3 days.
Add flower food if available.
Keep arrangements out of direct sunlight and away from heat.
