The spiral technique is the basis for all hand tied bouquets. For some people, it is quick and easy to learn and for others, it needs some practice. Once mastered, you can make bouquets yourself from scratch and really impress your friends and family. This really is the fundamental technique that florists learn and the benefit is that not only can you create gifts for friends but this is also a great way of preparing flowers for a vase. This applies to complexed mixes of colours and textures to simple collections of single types of flowers that just gives an elegant and lovely look.
