Want to know the easiest way to make your floral arrangements look super pro (and not cost an arm & a leg!)? You gotta go with tone on tone. I cant always make my floral orders from the grower on time or even get to the Flower Mart in DTLA when I want- (event planning aside!) but my no fail approach is always to go tone on tone. (aka TOT) Pick one color for your arrangements and you literally cannot go wrong. If you have Cabernet colored Dahlias, add fillers and smaller florals in reds or even a little pink- its in the tone family! Sometimes I do a bunch of greens and call it a day. Or 1 type of flower only. Sometimes I go purist and stick to light or white. Or I just pick one color and do the greens in various tones! Add fruit! Figs, Grapes, Kumquats! Sculptural and non-fussy is a typical vibe for me.
I have bought flora and fauna at Trader Joes many times and pulled off some super chic looks. Just don’t skimp on quantity or your arrangement will look… skimpy. One bunch is never enough. Generally 2-3 bundles of the flowers and about the same for the filler. Consider the opening size of your vase or vessel and purchase accordingly- or bring it with you to the store if you’re not sure! Take a look at the pics of some of the easy+ simple floral creations I’ve made. Some are from styling sets, events, my showroom & studio, some are at home- and 1/2 of them are flowers and fillers bought from Trader Joes, Gelsons or Bristol Farms! You got this xxj
