Keeping one stem for vase or keeping the varieties of ingredients down to around three for a bigger arrangement, keeps things clean and modern.
For a large arrangement, Chelsea kept most varieties separate from each other and paired with a very simple but textured ceramic vase.
A branch of dry bay leaves hangs in Chelsea's kitchen.
Arrange seedpods and branches in simple baskets. Keep it minimal to avoid the full on ’70s or ’80s vibes. You don’t want dust collectors.
Pick them dry or use only a little water in the vase as they dry. That will keep awful smells away.
Don’t try to make them look like a designer arranged them. Undone is the key here, for an effortless, organic feel.
