Q&A for How to Arrange Flowers

If tulips stems are not cut under water, the hollow stems will fill with air and they will not absorb water and they will wilt and die. Cut under warm water at a slant and put in water IMMEDIATELY so the stems cant fill with the air. The water droplets on the end of the stem will keep the air out until they go into the water (about 3 seconds) Tulips lean to light or gravity so they will not stay upright unless kept away from windows. or supported with wire.

Put them in a vase that is quite a bit lower than they are. They will droop on their own without the high support.

You can arrange them in bouquets that are a variety of colors, or alternate colors between tables. You should go with whichever option looks particularly pleasing to you.

All natural flowers will eventually wilt, but you can prolong the process by keeping them out of direct sunlight and changing the water each day.

Wear gloves, make sure you have all the equipment that you need and that your work surface is lined with newspaper for water protection. Other than that, be mindful of thorns and move cautiously so as to not spill anything.

A floral frog/grid, wire, a string or band to hold the stems together. You might not even need any of these things. It's perfectly reasonable to have free-standing plants.
