The spiral technique is essential in bouquet arranging, it allows easy attempt to insert or remove flowers and foliage while designing because the stems are only overlapping each other (no crossover), in that flowers and foliage should easily slide in and out.
- Start with the first stem as a base.
- Place one stem over it at a 45-degree angle in the same direction using the thumb as a pointer.
- Rotate the bunch of stems as another stem is added, always keeping the placement at angle so they form a spiral.
- Adjust the height of each stem to create different shapes of bouquet from round classic to flowing organic.
It is always a good idea to start practice on spiralling beforehand with leftover stems because it is easier to see what is going on without any flower and foliage on the stems. It may be slightly awkward at first, but the spiral effect would start to develop when many stems have been layered in. It would feel more secure with more stems arranging in the same direction.
All mistakes are practice. Good luck.
