How to Arrange Grocery Store Flowers

I love having fresh flowers in our home and my favorite source is Grocery Store flowers. They are so plentiful and affordable!

You know that amazing feeling you get when you walk into a grocery store and are surrounded by flowers? It’s like nature is giving you a big hug. Well, guess what? You can create that same effect at home with a few simple steps. Keep reading to learn how to arrange grocery store flowers like a pro!

I cannot even remember the last time I ordered flowers from a florist. I am a do-it-yourselfer and love making my own flower arrangements. As much as I love going to the Los Angeles Flower Mart, it is a lot more convenient to find flowers at the grocery store.

I made this flower arrangement with flowers from Trader Joe’s. I also love Whole Foods flowers.

I love adding decor in our home, and I think fresh flowers are a really great and inexpensive addition. Grocery store flowers are easy to access, inexpensive, and quite plentiful. Especially right now.

I don’t spend a lot of time arranging flowers. I have the same routine I go through every time and it’s very straight forward. I am guessing that it took me about twenty minutes to arrange these flowers.

My daughter in law walked past this and said she thought it looked like a $250 arrangement.

I think I spent $38.00.

What You Need to Make a Flower Arrangement

I love arranging flowers with different kinds of vases. Over the years I have collected a large variety of containers to use in my flower arrangements. My favorite vases these days are my vintage crocks! I love these and wrote blog posts about my collection of vintage crocks and also how to arrange flowers in vintage crocks.

Here are all of the flowers I used to make this arrangement. I bought two mixed bouquets and three bunches of eucalyptus greens at Trader Joe’s.

I selected these flowers because I loved the colors. But I picked the eucalyptus first because I love it so much. It wasn’t hard to pick the flowers because I just needed to make sure I liked the the flowers and that they looked okay in my home. The only problem I had was that I wanted to buy them all!

How to Arrange Grocery Store Flowers

The first step to arranging flowers is taking them out of their packaging and cutting the stems to the desired length.

I always start my arrangements with the greenery. My goal with the eucalyptus was to create a grid with the stems that would help hold the flowers upright. Usually, I use floral oasis for support, but unfortunately, I was out of it. 

You can see below how I started adding the greenery.

For this arrangement, I chose to use a lot of greenery, so this was how it looked before I started adding flowers.

I always start with my “statement” flower. I added the protea flowers first.

Next, I added the roses.

As I filled in the remaining flowers, I added them and just walked around my arrangement. I just kept filing in with more flowers until they were all gone!

I even cut some hydrangeas from my garden. I love how they look in these arrangements.

When I was done, I took the vase (it was heavy) outside so I could take some photographs.

I love the larger size arrangement and the impact this makes on our back patio. I also love that it only took me twenty minutes to create!
