Floristry Student's Floral Arrangement


I hope you are enjoying your day.

I thought you might like to show you an arrangement one of our student's Roslyn has created.

It features white lilums and carnations and foliage in an upright container.

This arrangement has a lovely line with a minimum amount of materials.

It is not the amount of flowers that is used but how they are positioned that makes the difference.

You too can soon be creating stylish floral designs the professional way.

In the Floristry Course you will learn how to create many styles of flower arrangements  the easy way.

If you have not already enrolled in the Floristry Course we would love to have you join us.

Mother's Day Arrangement


What a lovely way to show your mother that you care by giving her a fabulous floral arrangement.

This arrangement features pink roses, mauve alstroemeria, leucadendrons and pale green orchids arranged in a triangular shape.

A round container has been used as a base.

Florist foam has been soaked in water for several minutes and placed in the base.

The top of the foam should stand at least 5cm above the edge of the container so the side stems can be inserted in the foam.

Starting at the top, the two leucadendrons have been cut to the desired length and placed one slightly lower than the other.



Foliage has been placed down the sides to form a triangle shape.

The pink roses have been placed down the centre in a zigzag line.

The orchids have been placed down the sides and one at the base.

Short pieces of foliage have been placed between the flowers to fill in the centre of the arrangement.

Alstroemeria has been placed between the other flowers.

Wide leaves have been folded into loops, wired across the base with 22 gauge florist wire and inserted in the base.

The foam should be topped up with water every couple of days

To all the wonderful mothers - I hope you have a lovely mother's day.
