To create the handtied look of this arrangement you need to alternate the two main florals, the Ranunculus and the Anemone, with the tall Eucalyptus stems and build the centre of the arrangement in this way. Follow this by then creating a ‘cradle’ using the silver wattle stems so that they form a base that completely surrounds the bouquet. For a more relaxed and natural look they can overhang the neck of the vase as shown in our photo. We have chosen the smoked sage glass vase for its elegant yet contemporary shape but also because the slim neck at the top gives extra support and perfectly suits the nature of a hand tied arrangement.  

To begin, place a sturdy object, such as an upturned plastic plant pot, in the center of the largest tray. Add chicken wire around the plastic pot. Utilize the sections in the tray to securely place the floral stems, ensuring that the stems are equally distributed throughout. Make sure you keep the top of the box clear, so that you can put your second tray on top. Finally, top the arrangement with the second tray on top of the box with your chosen decor.
