Bring A Flower Arrangement to the Pool . . .

Really draw attention to the beverages with flowers!

When gathering friends for a “Cool Drink” around the pool, cool down an arrangement with the beverages. Flower arrangements look great on ice.

        You Will Need:
                   Mixed flowers
                   Tumbler
                   Floral Foam

Cut a piece of floral foam to fit the tumbler. Soak the foam until saturated. Place the wet foam in the tumbler, add more water.
In this arrangement, I used Carnations, Miniature Carnations and Button Pom-poms. In my opinion, these varieties endure the best in warm settings. 

Begin by creating a triangular shape in greenery. Remember, the tallest blooms should be   1 ½ times the height of the container. The greenery should accent the flowers without covering the blooms. Fill in the center of the container to cover the foam.

​This arrangement is using carnations as the focal flower. Place the tallest flower to the center and back of the floral foam. Place a second carnation to the right and lower than the first carnation. Place a third carnation to the left and lower than the second carnation. I used miniature carnations to complete the shape of the triangle. Also, add miniature carnations to the center of the previously place carnations. Try not to have all the blooms at the same height. Add depth to the arrangement by placing Button Pom-poms close to the floral foam and below the red blooms.

After completing the arrangement, place the Tumbler Arrangement in the ice at the back of the beverage ice tub. Enjoy!
