Select a mix of colored and neutral flowers

First things first: You need to choose your flowers. Stembel recommends selecting a mix of brightly colored and neutral ones for a balanced bouquet.

“Select three different types of flowers in complementary tones or whichever ones are your faves,” she says. “I usually pick one bright color to pair with a couple muted or neutral tones. It’s an easy recipe that’s hard to get wrong.”
