With this sunny mix of fresh florals, including garden roses, peonies, tulips, spray carnations, alstroemeria, ranunculus, thistle, and some greenery, you can create your own Shavuos bouquet and keep it fresh all week long. It’s not as hard as you might think.

Throughout the Week

First

The starter arrangement (previous page, on the left) is a mix of tulips, ranunculus, greenery, thistle, and mini carnations. You can gently open up the tulips to create a fuller flower.

Second

The right bud vase is the same arrangement three days later. Once the larger flowers shed their petals, you’ll be left with some of the heartier florals. Discard the others and you have a fresh new look.
