Florist Oscar Mora shows Architectural Digest how to design a flower arrangement from a pre-made bouquet often seen at a grocery store. Blooms from the grocery store have a bad reputation, but with a little love, a couple of bouquets can be transformed into up to seven gorgeous, high-style flower arrangements.

Hi, I'm Oscar Mora.
Welcome to my floral design studio in New York City.
Today I want to show you how to design
a beautiful, elegant arrangement like this one
from a pre-made bouquet,
like one of those that you get in the grocery stores.
So let's separate it by the colors and the shape.
Once we've got them separated,
let's make a diagonal cut.
That is always helpful for allowing the flowers
to drain more efficiently.
We're gonna get this lazy susan,
and our favorite place to start.
Our first step is to create a net
for designing the arrangement and keeping the stems
in the right place.
Let's trim these leaves and trim the stems
a little shorter to start to adapt the flowers
to our vase.
Start to group them in a way that they create
a cluster in this corner.
So here we have our first little arrangement
that looks definitely not from a deli.
With the rest of the material we created
over seven arrangements.
You should be ready to run to the grocery store
and start trying your floral design skills.
