When we asked @hedgefineblooms about the best height for an arrangement, they shared, “Don't be afraid of height. Remember that you can always cut stems shorter, but you can't make them longer. The rule of thumb is that the tallest blooms should be one-and-a-half times the height of your container.” 📷 by @erickelleyphotography . . . #repost #hedgefineblooms #erickelleyphotography #shoplocal #florist #arrangement #floralinspo #charlottesvilleflorist #centerpiece #bouquet #cville #wineandcountry #wineandcountrylife #living #lifeandstyle #lifestylemagazine #virginia #ilovevirginia #virginiaisforlovers #livelocal #livelovelocal #howto #floralarrangement #flowertips #entertainingtips
