Best flowers to use
For the freshest flowers that will last the duration, choose locally sourced, seasonal blooms. Compact but delicate with their papery thin petals, ranunculus are a pretty choice, while anemones add a touch of drama with their contrasting black centres. For a flamboyant but super-girlie look, choose peonies (the perfect stand-out blooms for the bride-to-be at a hen party or mum-to-be at a baby shower). If you can't get your hands on these seasonal blooms, feel free to use your favourite flowers in this DIY!
