Wedding Flowers

I hope everything is going well for you.

I love orchids and lisianthus and despite their fragile appearance they are long lasting flowers.

These white Singapore orchids and lisianthus are arranged in tall containers and look very elegant.

A tall slim base is used.

A flat container with soaked florist foam is attached to the top of the base.

Starting in the centre the orchid stems are cut to the desired length and positioned to fan out to the sides.

The lisianthus stems are cut short are placed around the base.

Long strands of pearls are positioned to hang down. the sides to give a waterfall effect.

Low centrepieces featuring the same type of flowers  are placed along the table

This design is briefly described - in the floristry course each step is fully explained in detail.

This European Style arrangement features purple stock, mauve hydrangeas, apricot dahlias, deep red roses, amaranthus and spiral gum in a tall vase.

Florist foam has been soaked in water and placed in a number 6 florist container and secured to the top of the vase with Surestick which is similar to Bluetack.

The stems have been cut to the desired length.

The stock is placed in the foam - the tallest stem should be at least one and a half times the height of the container- you can always go higher. The roses, hydrangeas, dahlias and spiral gum are positioned lower down so the widest part is across the base. The amaranthus is placed around the base to give a lovely cascading effect.

This floral design is explained briefly - In the Floristry Course each lesson gives you the exact length to cut each stem and where to position it in a design.

Hand Tied Rose Bouquet

This hand tied bouquet of roses would make a lovely gift for someone special. 

Twelve roses and wax flowers surrounded with foliage and spear grass loops have been used in this bouquet.

The rose and wax flower stems have been cut to the desired length and the lower leaves removed.

Choose the largest rose for the centre and hold it in the left hand about 15cm below the base of the flower head.

Add about five more roses around having them slightly lower and crisscross the stems on an angle where you are holding them, whilst turning the bouquet around clockwise.

Add the remaining roses around in the same way having them extend out slightly more to the sides.  The bouquet should be slightly rounded across the top. 

Add the wax flowers around the edges in the same way and then the foliage. 

Secure all the stems together with a few twists of twine.

Cut the spear grass to the desired length and run it between your fingers to make it pliable and form it into loops, dip the ends in strong glue and insert the loops in two rows between the flowers around the edges.

Cut the ends of the flower and foliage stems level and spray the bouquet lightly with water

Place organza ribbon around the stems and tie it in a bow with ribbon ends.

Stand the bouquet in a container of water.

This design has been briefly described - in the Floristry Correspondence Course each lesson is explained in detail with easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

Party Flowers

Party Flowers  

It's lovely to be able to create a chic flower arrangement for a special event such as a wedding reception or for a party.

A variety of pink flowers including azaleas, hydrangeas rhododendrons and dainty pieces of foliage have been used. 

This arrangement is placed in an elegant tall glass container that flares out at the top.

When you use a glass container you can often see the foam.

If desired large flat leaves can be slid down from the top between the sides of the container and the foam.

The leaves are inserted after the foam has been placed in the container. 

Florist foam has been soaked in water for several minutes and inserted into the container having it at least 5cm higher than the edges of the container to allow the stems to extend down gracefully.

The flower and foliage stems have been cut to the desired length and starting at the top and working around in circles the flowers and foliage have been positioned in the foam with the type of flowers and colours placed evenly around and the ones around the edges extending downwards.

Slender pieces of foliage have been inserted between the flowers and around the edges of the foam.

Small gifts have been covered in pink paper and tied with ribbon and positioned next to each place setting. 

This design has been briefly described - in the Floristry Correspondence Course each lesson is explained in detail with easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
