gardenstead | How to make a Valentine’s Day bouquet — step by step! @gardenstead | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Learn how to make a gorgeous Valentine’s Day bouquet in a step by step (fun!) tutorial. In this video, Gabi and Maher visit Flowerette by gardenstead to get Maria and Luisa’s expert guidance — and together they create a couple of beautiful floral masterpieces!
Here’s the step by step process they follow:
Step 1: Gather your materials — a vase, flower food, scissors or secateurs, your chosen flowers and greenery
Step 2: Clean up the stems to remove foliage that would sit below the waterline
Step 3: Fill your vase with water and add flower food
Step 4: Trim the stems to size by measure their height against the vase
Step 5: Create a lattice of greenery by crisscrossing stems to serve as the bouquet’s foundation
Step 6: Add your main focal flower(s) — these will be the biggest, showiest blooms
Step 7: Add secondary flowers — the costars of the arrangement
Step 8: Fuss around with how things are arranged until you’re happy with how everything’s looking
Step 9: Step back and admire your creation! (Feel free to pat yourself on the back. Well done!)
And here’s an easy DIY flower food recipe: combine 1-quart water, 2 TBSP lemon juice, 1 TBSP sugar, & 1/2 tsp household bleach. (The bleach helps to slow the growth of fungi and bacteria).
Are you giving flowers for Valentine’s this year? Or…not? Let us know in the comments below!
Be sure to watch to the end of the video to see Gabi & Maher’s creations (and Maria & Luisa’s, too). Beautiful.

Gardenstead is an online gardening community and plant lovers channel of gardeners who love to get their hands dirty, both indoors and outdoors. Our gardeners run the gamut. They are vegetable gardeners, houseplant nurturers, small space gardening engineers, herbalists, flower enthusiasts and succulent aficionados.
Our goal has always been to connect gardeners in an inclusive gardening community, foster and share knowledge, and make gardening resources available to everyone.
As we grow, we seek to expand our conversations about gardening and to
cultivate a mindful embrace of nature and the healing and grounding properties
to be found in it.
Plants cultivate connections between people — from urban settings of balcony gardens
and small spaces to rural backyards with larger and more expansive gardens. We hope
you’ll join us as we continue to nurture these connections and create new ones.
