After settling with a mug, you need to also purchase flower foam for the bouquet’s base. You will have to cut the foam as the mug’s shape so that it can fit in. You should also make sure that the foam you have cut is an inch smaller as compared to the mug so that the latter can still provide support for your bouquet.
