Measure and cut the stems of the smaller flowers that will be used for the secondary focal point of the bouquet. These flowers should be positioned to surround the main flowers.

Insert the cascading flowers or ivy at the base of the arrangement.

Fill in with greenery. Plumosa, also known as "asparagus fern," is a soft, feathery type of fern which is a great filler for cascading arrangements. Greenery should be positioned under the flowers of the bouquet as well as in between the cascading flowers.

5
Insert tiny filler flowers, such as baby's breath, miniature roses or purple heather. Filler flowers cover up any exposed hardware or empty spots within the arrangement.
