When we think about a Valentine’s Day floral gift, the size cannot be so large because gifts are often given to loved one when getting together at the time of dating etc. There are so many types of floral gifts such as flower decorated gift boxes in which valuable gift is placed, bouquets, glass cube designs and basket arrangement whatsoever.
In this section I would like to focus on small size centerpiece decoration of table arrangements placed in a small glass cube container . This type of arrangement is often found in a limited space area such as on a hotel front desk , restaurant’s cashier’s counter or cocktail table in the living room etc etc. Only because of small size of arrangement, they do not fit a large and spacious place such as a main lobby or banquet room of hotel and a sanctuary of church etc. Again this is perfect as a Valentine’s Day floral gift.
You can pick up any kind of flowers which may fit small size of glass cube container. As this kind of container is not so deep, flowers’ stems should be cut with short length. If you can afford to get red roses, this is the best choice as a Valentine’s Day gifts because red color roses symbolize romance and love and they can definitely meet the nature of this particular event especially as a gift given to your loved one.
Go to a floral shop to buy fresh flowers your loved one likes and also a small transparent glass cube container as well as floral foams. Cubic glass container can be purchased at an affordable price ranging from $3 to $7 per piece. Dip floral foams in the water of container and wait until water has soaked into floral foams. After cutting stems of flowers to make them short enough to fit the depth of container, insert stems of each flower into soaked floral foams. Arrange flowers in a well balanced shape so they look nice from any angle.
Due to the small size of arrangement and its container as well as the limited quantities of flowers and floral foams, the cost for this arrangement is affordable enough to make several similar decorations so you can give it to your girlfriend, mother and sister as well.
In my flower arranging class, we often make this kind of tiny arrangements to learn how to make centerpiece decorations displayed in a limited space area. Since it is not very difficult to make this type of centerpiece decorations, no matter whether you are experienced floral designer or not, just try it to make your loved one happy with your gift.
