Flowers And A gift

I like it that you can do so many wonderful things with flowers.

Once you understand the basic design rules of flower arranging you can be so creative.

You can really dress up a gift with flowers.

A bottle of wine is made special by adding a spray of flowers.

This would make an ideal gift to present to a hostess having a dinner party.

The bottle has been placed in a cover.

A small foam igloo has been soaked in water and is secured to the top.

The stems of roses, orchids, fern and ivy have been cut to the desired length and inserted into the foam.

Long curving grass has been inserted in the right side.

An arrangement featuring the same flowers is placed at the base.

This design is described briefly - in the Floristry Course you will learn how to create many types of different floral designs with detailed step-by-step instructions.

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.

Stems of equisetum, also known as horsetail have been cut to the desired length to sit level with the top of the container and placed between the foam and the container.

Choosing Colours For Your Floral Designs

Flower Colours

When you are make a floral designs choose colours that compliment each other.

Pink gerberas and pale alstroemeria, purple mini asters and mauve ageratum as shown in this photo look wonderful together.

Green leaves always provide great contrast

Other colour combinations that go well together  are

Orange, yellow and cream.

Red and white and  apricot and bronze

Vibrant colours such as orange, purple and lime green are great for modern designs.

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 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.
