Different leaf types bring in varying textures.
Creating an arrangement with a single type of flower creates a feeling of abundance at home.
1. For a riotous arrangement, start by creating a shape with three tall and medium branches.
2. Add in greenery with another type of acacia, and fill in with bloomed-out branches to create a vibrant, full vase.
3. Choose the right vase.
Vintage glass bottles are a great option for bud vases. Vases with contrasting colors also add a dash of fun.
Pairing acacia with fresh lemon branches and fruit for a tablescape offers a bright winter and early spring option for entertaining.
