Many of us have a lifetime subscription to Martha Stewart trying to figure out how her bouquets turn out incredible, but when we try to duplicate them following her step by step guide that they never look as good as the ones in the magazine. Some of us take a stroll past the floral department grocery case and decide not to take home a bunch of flowers because we don't know the first thing about what to do with them. Some of us even dream of being a fabulous wedding floral designer and someday making it big on a reality show for our innovative and stylish floral designs.
