Springtime brings a lot to be excited about, from baby chicks to the absence of cold, snowy weather; but perhaps what is most wonderful about spring is the abundance of flowers that seem to come out of nowhere. If you're excited for the gorgeous blooms you're seeing all around you and want a simple way to refresh your home for spring, a bouquet is a great way to do so. Instead of simply plopping some cut stems into a vase, however, why not try to level up your springtime decor with a delightful floating floral arrangement.

While a floating floral arrangement might seem daunting to create, it's quite easy and has the benefit of looking professional, even if you're a beginner when it comes to flowers. To get started, you'll need a wide-mouthed terrarium vase, some bubble wrap, water, pair of scissors, and flowers of your choice (flowers with large blooms will work best for this DIY). Begin by filling your terrarium vase about half-full with cool water, and next you'll grab your bubble wrap and begin cutting it into small circles, which will serve as the floating surface for your flowers. Once you have enough bubble wrap floats, you'll poke a small hole in the center of each, large enough to push the stem of the flowers through. Cut the stems of your flowers to about two inches in length, and thread the stem through the hole in the bubble wrap.

This floral arrangement can be completely personalized to your preferences. For small floral arrangements, you can select a miniature terrarium vase like this product from ZENFUN that has two small vases ($25.99 on Amazon). If you're hoping for a larger, showstopping arrangement, consider a bigger vase — this one from CYS EXCEL ($35.99 on Amazon) is a good option that can accommodate more flowers. In terms of plants that produce big blooms, some good options that will float well include peonies, gerbera daisies, and clematis, to name a few, but feel free to grab whatever large flowers catch your fancy at the flower market.

If you would like to create an even more unique floating flower arrangement, choose white flowers and squeeze some drops of food coloring into the water. The pigment from the water will travel up the stem of the flower and change the bloom's hue to a stunning shade. If you're wondering how to decorate your home with this flower arrangement, you truly have unlimited potential places to situate it in the home. The bathroom can be a lovely spot if you're hoping to brighten up the space for a party, or you can add a floating floral arrangement to a foyer table to greet your guests when they walk in. Of course, a centerpiece on the kitchen table, a living room coffee table, or even the kitchen island will also work splendidly and bring that added springtime appeal.
