How To Create A Floral Arrangement Using Supermarket Flowers 

There is a line from The boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse by Charlie Mackesy. The mole asks the boy what he wants to be when he grows up. “Kind” says the boy. You are showing and teaching us kindness in our daily lives. Thank you.

This Channel is teaching me how to slow down and enjoy life’s little pleasures.

Dear Nicolas, I’ve always been a white knuckle amateur flower arranger, but your video has taught me to relax, take it slow and not strive for perfection. So next time my son buys me a bouquet of flowers I will be thinking of you and this video. Thank you.

I love it how Aquarius always go against the actual trend...everyone goes trash and you go classy..elevate oneself is truly the best gift someone can have.

“I usually just put my flowers in a vase and hope for the best” - I absolutely love your videos! Thank you for being real and relatable. You are such a breath of fresh air. Much love to you and Sophie ❤️

Whenever I watch you, I forget that I'm in 2021. Everything about you takes me to the victorian era. I m no historian, I may be wrong but its pleasure to watch you, like a stress buster😇

Sometimes carnations get a bad rap, but I luv them. The smell is wonderful. They're just happy flowers. So nice to see you today.

You use your voice so well; many people don't realize the power their voice has. Your voice exudes peace, tranquility, calm.. I find it inspiring and hope to implement that into my own life. Beautiful video as always xo

I am definitely making a flower arrangement for my grandchild. She is four years old and she loves flowers. It has been twice already she has asked me to buy her flowers when we have been at the supermarket. Thank you for inspire me. Beautiful!!!

I may be old enough to be your vegan grandmother but you can teach an old dog new tricks! And you’ve brought such calm and sanity to us in this awful year - you will never know. X

You are correct, spending time arranging flowers is better than just watching TV. I like how you reminded us to cut at a diagonal, use gloves with roses, and to 'prepare' your flowers ahead of time before you arrange them. Thanks for the weekly inspiration!

RU-vid is such a wonderful plataform for discovering amazing talented people who we'd never otherwise get the privilege of knowing. I have just recently found you, and I will never let you go. Your tips have been helping me find more beauty in the everyday. Thank you for kindness and dedication!

I actually just had to stop the video quickly and write you this note, before I watch it to the end. I love your videos because you are doing it your way, nice and easy, relaxed and having a go at what you enjoy. You say you are no expert, but to me you are an expert in making your life enjoyable and fun, and you remind us that all the small things in life do matter. xx

Nicolas I don’t know how I found your channel but im glad I did.

Beautiful. My grandmother was an expert floral arranger, and she would have just loved this. Thank you, Nicolas.

Beautiful flower arrangement, and for being the first time, and end up looking like that, that is call TALENT !

I just discovered your channel, new sub here. I watched several of your videos. They are so lovely, soothing. The colors, the lighting, your voice and style, the soft dicrete and warm elegance of what you create... I like everything about it.

He’s so honest that’s why he’s loveable! Only he can make floral arrangements relaxing and fun! Inspiring 💜

Hello from across the pond! I came across your channel by good luck and Devine intervention ❤️🙏 I feel you are just an amazing young man and very talented as well! Wish all young people had themselves as together as you... I am twice your age and have only recently learned to be calm and not sweat the small stuff🙃 you are an inspiration! Thank you and God Bless stay safe and healthy xx

Living in Athens & totally enjoy your calmness and interiors especially the whole British vibe..thank you for sharing all the special tips! 🌸

Never thought of using chicken wire to make my flowers ‘stand’. Such a simple idea 💡 using supermarket flowers but amazing results! Can’t wait to try the chicken wire in my vintage crystal bowls. Imagine the beautiful crystal bowls of flowers with an afternoon tea☺️

Love the introductory music. Everything is so calming and never shouts. I am so pleased I have found your channel. Best wishes Nicholas. From Canada.

I learned tulips don't flop, they dance in the vase. You inspired me to find a bunch of my own.

You know, it's already not about the bouquet... It's so relaxing just to behold Nicolas himself. His hands work, his murmuring comments, self-conscious half smiles, embarrassed chuckles, interjections are so therapeutic.

I have always had issues with arranging flowers in my vases and having them hold. I feel really silly now for not thinking of putting a wire catch to help give them structure. Will definately be stealing this tip for my wedding! Thank you so much.

The combination of your mellow voice, the peaceful music, the calming effect of watching you create such a gorgeous arrangement...I can almost smell those flowers...brings such pleasure on a cold Ontario day, thank you.

Beautiful flowers 💐 I never win! Lol ......🤞🏻. I’ll never forget the last Valentines Day with my husband. March 6th will be seven years. I was widowed at 53. Valentines was always a special day for us, it may seem odd but I buy myself flowers every Valentines since and just pretend in my heart that they are from Jim💕. I just love all your videos they just make my heart happy and I always feel so peaceful as I watch them. Thank you for all you do for us Nicolas.

I've just bought some flowers and when I came back I opened RU-vid and found your video. You inspired me to do something else with my flowers other than just putting them in a vase. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

I always take you seriously. 😉wow, how you calm me down with your soft and tender voice. Wish I were in Edinburgh now cause it's too hot in here and cloudy and cold days would fresh me up. Thank you for sharing beautiful moments with us💐

What a beautiful arrangement of flowers, to walk in any room and see that would uplift you, a sight of gods gift to us. Thankyou for your video!

Dear Nicolas I never thought watching someone assemble a beautiful flower display for their home could be so restfully soothing for the heart, mind and soul. Keep the vlogs coming as they are excellent! Mike

I recently found your site and just love how beautifully professional your presentations are. Love that fact that you teach and learn at the same time and I find myself talking to you through the computer screen cheering you on... Since I am a Valentine's baby, I think I will buy several bunches of flowers, try your techniques and send them to myself!!! Happy Valentine's Day to you and all your community of viewers. xoxo

Wow! I actually hate carnations as a flower but I love the way that you have arranged them with tulips and other flowers. Fabulous arrangements, supermarket flowers too! I love the planter idea with the chicken wire. Thanks so much.

The next time I go to the supermarket, I will buy some flowers and try my hand at arranging them. Might help shake off the 2 feet of snow, gray skies, and bitter cold!

Oh Nicolas, you are so humble. You may not be an expert but your talent lies in the inspiration and sense of wonderment that you provide us each week. Greetings from the sunny west coast of Australia.💐

It brought a smile to my face to see your sweet pup admiring your lovely flower arrangement at the end of the video. Thanks for the inspiration!

WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO THUMBS DOWN THESE MASTERPIECES!?!?!? Another wonderful video! Thank you, Nicolas!

Nicolas you give a much needed joy of life during these times. It’s very damp and cold today where I live, but I feel so good after watching this video. Flowers make me so happy. You always inspire me and I’m sure everyone else here to watch. I’m going to go to the market and make a flower arrangement to brighten my space. Your arrangement is so lovely. Until next time, stay well❤️

Nicolas, your ‘non professional’ journey is the bomb! Once again you’ve brought the bloom back into my cheeks and week! Stay safe and be happy from California.

Beautiful arrangement! I didn’t know about foam sponges were not environmentally friendly. I learned a lesson today. Thank you!

I think it turned out absolutely stunning! I can hardly believe that such a beautiful arrangement was made from grocery store flowers! It really does show how the elements of good design go such a long way.

My dearest Nicolas, you have inspired me, once again, to incorporate beauty and cheerful elegance into my daily existence! My dear husband and I have just moved from sunny Tucson, Arizona to our new gorgeous setting of Oregon. Where at the moment, the weather is cold, rainy and gray, just as you described! With occasional sunrises like you can not imagine how magnificent they are! Such a blessing!!! We are acclimating to the new beauty around us. For the moment, as per your lead, I have purchased some beautiful, yet affordable flower bouquets from our Trader Joe’s Supermarket! I have placed these flowers around in our private sanctuary ( our living areas!😊). And we are enjoying the wonderful beauty of winter in all its glory while surrounded with bright sunny flowers!!! You are a Godsend Nicolas🙏🏼. Be well dear one! I send you a big hug! 💞🤗🌞🌻🌻🌹

How could you receive anything except glowing comments! You are a delight taking us back to gentler and lovlier times. Your floral arrangement is gorgeous! Continue being the classy and sweet guy that you are. You are loved and appreciated. From a Victorian fan in the USA.

You made life simply beautiful. You’re so calm and I really enjoy watching you. ❤️ Happy weekend Nicolas!

Aah! I can smell the freshness of flowers and feel so serene so relaxing and calm! Thanks! looking forward for next video

You’ve taken the gloominess of the weather and turned it into a delightful flower arranging session. The end result of your demonstration is a delicate, graceful floral feast for the eyes!💐Thank you, Nicholas🌻

Dearest Nicolas! I’ve discovered your channel only a few days ago and already was able to watch and enjoy many of your wonderful videos. ♥️ Everything what your videos are about is so very close to my soul: ♥️ love for the interior design (like You I learned it all from books, magazines, antique shops, museums...), love for painting, cooking, baking, beautiful table setting, love for flowers, tea drinking and serving it with the delicious homemade treats and beautiful flower arrangements, etc. The whole experience of watching your very delightful interesting and yet very relaxing videos is indeed very pleasurable !!! ♥️ From the bottom of my heart Thank You very much 🙏🏻♥️🕊 Elena. ♥️

We all need spring days in our life, You bring a touch of spring in my day with this video.

Another beautiful video and a lovely flower arrangement. Thank you for being here for us every Friday, I really look forward to each video.

I'm a 78 year old woman from the USA mid west. I so enjoy your channel.

I am a new member to your channel, but I feel like I have been part of your journey, at least maybe in a past life. Thank you for sharing your sense of style and talent to all of whom have yearned for a new beginning this year, especially myself.

You just made my day with this video. I was watching it with a big happy smile on my face. Thank you!

Absolutely lovely floral arrangement. When I lived in London, I see to get my flowers from M&S. I always found them to be more affordable than floral shops, nonetheless, the variety they carry. Thanks do much for your creative ideas.

I love flowers in the home. I am happy they are at the stores. When I lived in Los Angeles they had a huge flower mart that opens early in the morning. Since my office was open on valentines day I would send my staff down to the mart and buy 6 dozen roses, all colors, and put them in my office lobby. Each female client took roses home. Clients learned of valentines and every year we were booked solid on the day. Flowers always make people smile.

I am so addicted to these videos. We have all had such a stressful past year and a half and my job as a therapist for babies with special needs has been very hard to do it over zoom. His voice and calm ways takes my worst headaches away and I am not sure he will ever know how much he has helped me. ❤️

Beauty is so good for the soul - thank you for adding to it and uplifting the spirit (sth I think we all need in these times). And reminding us that it doesn't lie in perfection, but in adding beauty and joy to our life every day. Merci Nicolas!

There's a feeling of calmness.. it's like therapy watching your videos. I'm really happy that your channel is growing because your hard work is paying off. You have something special and I hope you keep making these beautiful videos the way you do. Please don't worry too much about pleasing your subscribers. Just be you and do everything you like.

The beauty of flowers brings the ray of sunshine indoors

I have a passion for boxes: from hat boxes to box art and old cigar boxes decorated to hold antique hankies. Your flower arrangement was inspiring and a joy to watch. Thank you.

Beautiful arrangements. The weather has been cold, rainy and gloomy here in NC too. I am so ready for Spring.🌹

Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏👏 so beautiful . Thank you very much for making lockdown more bearable 🤗💐💐💐🙋‍♀️

Thank for this beautiful video, during the shutdown I was buying flowers at my local grocery store to help bring the house to life but I've been on and off battling depressing so I kinda stop after watching your video I realize I miss having flowers in my home so I went out and bought some. Thank you again for the inspiration 😊♥️💐

With or without giveaway me and my 12 year old son enjoy watching you. Your voice is gentle and kind. We’ve learned so much from your videos. Inspired and realized not to feel guilty for wanting to be around beautiful things and experiences. Thank you for your videos 💕

Your floral arrangement turned out lovely! Kudos to you for filming your first time doing something, especially something as delicate as this.

Sophie looks so sweet and so content lying of the sofa...she's just darling!!

I honestly do not now which was better your stunning arrangement or your beautiful calming voice

I absolutely love this video, Nicolas. Watching you is like meditation, where we begin to breath more slowly and experience some peace. The bouquet is stunning and the colors so cheerful. You have motivated and inspired me to create a bouquet of my own. Despite this global pandemic, you help us to remember these simple and beautiful joys to fill our hearts until we can mingle again like your flowers. Thank you for this.

Good afternoon Nicolas,Love flowers 🌺 especially spring flowers,Can't wait to see your displays.Take good care of yourself and stay safe xx 😘😘🌹🌹🌹

Nicolas, you always bring a little sunshine in my life! Thank you for always taking the time in making your videos so special. This flower arrangement is stunning!!!

Learning to stop and create beauty in our own lives is something you are teaching us. I’ve been enjoying all your videos. Sometimes we stay so busy working we forget to enjoy our homes and the beautiful things we have worked for or inherited. Taking out my mother’s silver vase or my grandmother’s cut crystal vase makes everything so much more special. Thanks for reminding me to stop and enjoy right now.

You're a pleasure to watch and enjoy. The flower arrangement is a beautiful result, but the joy comes in watching you and hearing your gentle appreciation for everything you do.

You are such an inspiration. Your kindness and genuine personality help me look forward to Friday’s.

I love your optimism and your gentle encouragement for us all to see the beautiful things in life no matter how challenging life is at the moment.

Absolutely sublime. Flowers in the house mean as much to me as those in my garden. 💐 I try to grow as many as I can and when I’m able, I keep at least one vase in every room. Beautiful tea box, who wouldn’t appreciate that gift! Hope you’re doing well ! - Casey

I'm not fancy at all but I feel a sense of peace and tranquility when I watch his videos. And his way of speaking- everything about him is just so perfect 😯. Real life anime character! So beautiful 🥰 and wow what an amazing person.

I'm living in Italy and innmy town is opena shop with fake flowers. I was shocked when they told me that are all fake. They look soooo real and are quite cheap and they don't die. I love the quality and the idea!

The flower arrangement is delightful, but more so is your genuine and humble approach to your RU-vid projects. By now it is clear that your calm and collected attitude and demeanor are as attractive as the content of your videos. You are definitely exuding good vibes and you help lift the mood in the midst of the seemingly everlasting winter. Let's hope that our comments do help lift your spirits in return when the sky is grey. XXX

This was another brilliant video. The colours spectacular. I felt so relaxed and connected to nature by the time it ended. Happy to see you looking after your hands. I regret not doing that, my hands look at least 10 years older then my actual age. So please continue caring for your hands. Thank you for sharing.🌷

Nicolas, thank you for the inspiration! I have been undergoing treatment for Cancer, and am stuck here in the mid-west, USA in about 4 inches of snow. Now, it was a beautiful day, but I have been stuck inside for about a week and it gets quite depressing. I have just watched your video, and the arrangement you did was stunning. Now, Iam looking forward to the 1st chance I get, so I can go to the store and purchase some flowers. I have some pretty vases, I just needed to be inspired. Thank you so much, I really needed it!, and Happy Valentines Day, your friend, Maggie

I couldn't have been more in love with your bouquet!! Thank you for showing us and inspiring us so much for all the work that you put into them, you really did make the day so special. You are an alchemist, you can turn the most simple things into Gold.🕊🙏

Just by watching you I think I can make this arrangement also, looks really easy, thank you for bringing sunshine into my life today. Your calm has touched me.

Trial and error and I think that’s what makes flower arrangements and life interesting. A very nice way to lift your spirits in the lockdown during the harsh winter season. Thanks a lot for showing us an easy way to find the simple pleasures and the beauty of life.🌷🌷🌷

I have so many live plants in my apartment I almost never have cut flowers but this is such a beautiful arrangement and looks so soothing to create, you’ve inspired me to get some the next time I get groceries.

Your videos are like looking through a peaceful relaxing and full inspiration window. Many thanks and Greetings from Germany.

Beautiful arrangement! I love the chicken wire idea. Thank you for bringing a little Spring into our lives.

You have really brightened up a very dull Canadian afternoon. Thank you!

Hello Nicholas, I am so happy to have discovered you on RU-vid. I have now watched all your videos and just adore how you have brought such class and beauty into the world. I am planning on doing a tea with my Husband for Valentine's Day (just one of the special meals we will enjoy together that day) and your videos have inspired me. My Husband usually gets me 3 dozen flowers for Valentine's Day, and now I feel that I can arrange them beautifully thanks to you. I can't wait to see what you bring to our world for the rest of 2021. Best wishes and hugs from Roberta (Virginia, USA)

Inspiring Nicholas Thank You. I love flowers around the home .

As always, a charming and erudite presentation, that brought a smile to my face. A lovely arrangement and an equally lovely attitude, while presenting the demonstration. Flowers have the ability to lift one out of the doldrums. Thank you, Nicolas.

Omg! The planter with the floral arrangements is just simply gorgeous, thank you for sharing. Never would have thought of using chicken wire. Blessing's to yah Nicolas

Nicolas, you are very blessed.. I do hope you realize the gift you have of warmth, charisma, and sophistication. Thank you for your weekly vlogs, they are so enjoyable.

YOU ARE SO GENEROUS...TO SHARE YOUR KINDNESS ....

Thank you for this video 💖; very lovely, peaceful, and calming🌷🌹

Watching your beautiful video from New Jersey where we had a blizzard this past week. Spring seems so far away, so watching you create such a lovely flower arrangement lifted my spirits. Thank you 🌷🌹❤️

Even if the flowers don't turn out the way you would want, the end product will always be beautiful. Because they are flowers!

Relaxation and a bit of an escape from the world....YES! That’s exactly what I love about your videos. So lovely. Hello from Kentucky, USA 🥰

I’m doing a fundraiser for Valentines Week so this is perfect inspiration ♥️

Love the comments for this lovely young man. Not a troll among them. The comments are as sweet and refreshing as Nicolas.

I just loved the way you created this floral arrangement. It's simple and elegant. And it gives space for designing other arrangements with different kinds of flowers and other colors depending on the season. Now, we have no reason to not do this by ourselves!! Thank you Nicholas and have a nice weekend.

So beautiful, so calming.. Thank you for a nice time!☀️
