Guide for creating a bud vase decoration with garden-picked wild flowers
Article: Rachel Bull's Summer Bud Vase Arrangement for a Wildflower Dining Table
Rachel Bull, Head of Gardens and professional florist, has shared her latest tips for arranging wildflowers in a Budva vase for a charming summer table decoration in her "Petals & Roots" video series for Homes & Gardens.
The arrangement begins with the use of bold, vibrant pink dog roses, followed by soft purple scabious and delicate white dog roses. To add texture and draw the eye upwards, meadowsweet stems are placed slightly higher up in the arrangement. Rachel Bull recommends giving flowers extra space to show off their beauty.
Rachel Bull suggests shopping for bud vases in different styles, including vintage, recycled glass, and unique shapes. For a more affordable option, the article mentions the availability of mushroom-shaped vases similar to ALDI bud vases.
In her video, Rachel Bull demonstrates the art of trimming the stems of alchemilla mollis longer than the others, making them higher in the vases. She also suggests making one stem taller than the other in a vase for an elegant look. Rachel cuts the pink dog rose low to fill out the vase opening, while the stems of alchemilla mollis are trimmed to just the right length.
Each dominant bloom is placed in its own bud vase, and the stems are trimmed so that the flower heads sit just proud of the rim. Rachel Bull adds height to the arrangement with vibrant green alchemilla mollis and blossomy white meadowsweet. She also includes purple toadflax and stems of lavender amongst the other flowers.
Rachel Bull removes lower leaves from flowers to prevent rot and extend their lifespan. She also advises considering the scent of the flowers when arranging them, as the fragrance can add an extra layer of beauty to the table setting.
In addition to the Budva vase arrangement, Rachel Bull provides advice and inspiration for wildflower garden ideas and best cutting garden flowers to grow. Meadowsweet stems grow wild and look pretty when they bloom, while Alchemilla mollis self-seeds and grows abundantly in Rachel's garden. Rachel Bull recommends wildflowers such as daisies, poppies, and cornflowers for creatively arranged Budva vase summer table decorations.
With Rachel Bull's expert guidance, transforming your dining table into a wildflower wonderland has never been easier or more affordable. So why not give it a try this summer and enjoy the beauty of nature right at your table.
