Upgrading grocery store flowers

I love grocery store flowers.  What can I say?  I use them a lot. Walmart, Kroger and Publix have great flowers at a fraction of the cost.  The problem?  They aren't the most beautiful arrangements.  Especially for someone like me that likes a simple, Martha Stewart style arrangement. 

Real Simple online recently posted an article on how to upgrade grocery store flowers.  Great, doable ways to get the greatest bang for your grocery store buck.

The articles gives these basic tips, but you really need to visit the link to view how they turned grocery store flowers to florist type fab!

 - Divide and conquer
 - Contrast colors
 - Go monochromatic
 - Contrast textures
                                               - Cut and edit
                                               - Make it mass
