First is to trim the stems of the flowers and bittersweet place them in a vase containing ice water. Allow them to stay there within half an hour to allow rehydration. The taller branches should be placed at the center or at the highest point in the arrangeMent. This creates an interesting view. Put together the shorter ones all over the arrangeMent. This gives it a fuller appearance. You may put in a short stem of berries on the vase to add a little uniqueness. Then twine the branch with the floral wire for every inch. As you> twist the wire, do not cut it. If you cut the wire on every twine, it may not allow the branch to bend. The wire lets you easily change the form of the arrangement. It helps maintain the curved branch. Use several bended branches to stoop down from the vase to the top of the table. You can also create a wreath of bittersweet branches. Simply cut the long branches and just twine them around themselves. Then place them around the vase containing the floral arrangement of bittersweet. Finally, you can insert the yellow and orange roses in and among the bittersweet branches. The taller roses should be placed on the back portion of the arrangement, while the shorter ones should be placed toward the front. Aside from roses, you can also put other flowers like yellow lilies, grow Cosmos flowers, orchrysanthemums.

Bittersweet is no bitter flower. Its decorative foliage, stems with brightly-colored berries and vibrant yellow leaves make it a fun and interesting flower to arrange.
