We suggest red roses to bring colour to the arrangement. Red is a choice for this composition; use another shade if you prefer it beside the image.","Measure the surface for the vase and the space in front of the picture or figure. A narrow, stable container lets you place flowers nearby without covering it. Carnations and lisianthus are alternatives for fitting the small bouquet to that space.",{"title":19,"paragraphs":20},"Contributing to a parish arrangement",[21,22],"For a shared arrangement, the person preparing it can say whether loose stems or a finished composition are needed. This changes the order: a wrapped bouquet may need taking apart before it can be incorporated.","Note the colour, dimensions and receiving point and time specified by the team. The florist can then prepare a contribution that fits.
