What To Know Before You Go

Thinking of having a custom arrangement made? The floral specialist at your local Michaels store will ask you a few questions about the arrangement you have in mind. Here are a few things to consider:

What type of space will the arrangement occupy? Is it tall and narrow, or wide and low? Think about the size and shape you'll need to compliment your setting.

Will your arrangement be placed against a wall or in a position where the back will not be seen, or will it be viewed from all around? This information will help your designer place the focal point of your arrangement properly.

What colors will compliment your room? Bringing items such as wallpaper and paint samples, fabric swatches or even photos of your room will assist in choosing colors that will accent your décor.
