4 ways to ace the Trader Joe's flower section, every time.
The first step to an elegant-looking bouquet? Keep it simple. Opt for one type of flower, in one color. Grocery stores often sell bunches of single types of blooms; it’ll make your bouquet look effortlessly elegant and keep costs down, too. I opted for a bunch of pale-peach gerbera daisies and, since I had a bit left in my budget, I added in tall, wispy green leaf filler .When you get home, take all of the plastic wrapping and rubber bands off of the flowers .
When in doubt, leave the stems a little bit long—that way the recipient can cut them to whatever size vase they have. Hold the arranged bouquet in place with the rubber bands.The real trick to gussying up grocery store blooms? Giving them an upgrade from their plastic wrapping. Find a beautiful piece of paper: It could be a square of brown butcher paper, old newsprint, a length of wrapping paper, or even—for smaller posies—a vibrant page torn from a magazine.
