On her television show, in her magazine, in books and in guest segments on a variety of morning talk shows, Martha Stewart shows us all how we can make the most of fresh flowers. Martha tells us what to look for when we order floral arrangements online. From her, we've learned to ask questions. As a result, we ask who will be fulfilling the order whether or not the florist is local to us. We ask how fresh the "fresh cut" flowers really are do the flowers that we are purchasing come from the grower or from another source altogether. We even know to look at customer testimonials to see whether or not others who have ordered are satisfied with their purchases. But of course, she doesn't stop there. Martha Stewart doesn't just help us to determine where to buy flowers, she helps us to choose which flowers will help us to say what's on our mind. While decorating with roses, she'll discuss the different meaning that are associated with different colors red for passion and love, pink for happiness, yellow for friendship. Similarly, Martha Stewart tells us that yellow daffodils are a sign of hope and that yellow acacia symbolizes a secret crush. Other flowers, such as the blue iris and hawthorn can express hope. Still others can express the joy of a new love, strength, perseverance, refinement and beauty. Combining these flowers into a beautiful bouquet meant to express our feelings is something that we used to leave up to floral designers those who had a special eye for beauty and arranging flowers. However, with more designers and decorators like Martha Stewart leading the way, it's becoming increasingly common for the rest of us to create beautiful floral arrangements on our own. Now, we can create grouped arrangements bunching flowers together in large or small bunches that can decorate a table as a centerpiece. We can create domed arrangements that will provide a ball of color that breaks up a table or draws attention to the center of our mantles, shelves or tables. For flowers that cannot easily be styled into grouped or domed arrangements, it's possible to create spiked arrangements: allowing those cut flowers with sturdy stems to become a tall, dramatic focal point. And, of course, Martha Stewart also teaches us that there is a fine art to creating free-form bouquets: it's not something that can be done simply by placing a variety of flowers into a vase and calling it done. Instead, creating a free form bouquet takes an eye for finding the right flowers and choosing the right foliage to add a colorful, natural element. Creating a free form bouquet means cutting the stems of flowers to a variety of lengths and allowing them to fall naturally within the vase. Of course, how flowers are styled which arrangement to use depends on the flowers that we wish to use. It takes an eye for color and a sense of how we will be decorating with flowers. Some thought will need to go into whether the arrangement will be used for indoor or outdoor decoration, the occasion and, of course the season. Martha Stewart offers a wide variety of tips and suggestions and makes it possible for all of us to choose the right flowers, to say what we want to say and to create eye-catching bouquets. All it takes is listening to and following her advice and a bit of practice. We can't all be Martha Stewart, but in time, we can choose, arrange and decorate with flowers and make her sense of style our own. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
