Natural Look Floral Design
Hello Dear Subscribers,
I hope all is well with you and your family.
We have been busy at the school making up different designs for our Christmas Course.
For this month's newsletter the flowers and foliage are positioned in this arrangement to give a natural flowing look.
A large urn has been used as a base and many different types of flowers including ranunculus, tulips, filling flowers, berries, grapes and various types of foliage have been used.
The flowers and foliage are positioned so the centre is slightly rounded across the top and extend down over the edges of the container.
This is a fairly large design and would look wonderful in a foyer or reception hall.
For an area such as a living or dining room, a smaller version of this design can be made.
Method
Florist foam has been used in the urn to hold the stems in position.
As a large urn has been used, you may have to use several blocks. Soak the florist foam in water for several minutes and place them in the urn.
The foam should sit at least 5cm (2") higher than the edges of the container. This will enable the stems around the base to be inserted up on an angle into the sides of the foam so they extend downwards.
You may need to place crumpled paper in the bottom first to raise the foam up higher.
Secure the foam in position with pot tape, placing it crisscross over the top of the foam and down on the sides of the container for about 5cm (2").
Cut the foliage to the desired length and position it in the top of the foam having it slightly higher in the centre.
Position the foliage around the sides of the foam having it cascading downwards.
These foliage placements will give you the framework of the arrangement
Cut the flower stems to the desired length and insert them throughout the design. Have the flower heads sitting slightly higher than the foliage and place the largest flowers in the centre.
Wire each bunch of grapes by inserting the centre of a 22 gauge wire x 45cm (18") long under the end of the stem and twist the wires around each other. Insert each bunch to extend downwards on the lower right side of the arrangement.
Spray lightly with water.
This floral design is briefly explained. In our Floristry Diploma Course, we explain each lesson in detail. There are step by step instructions with diagrams, measurements on how long to cut each stem, exactly where to position each one and a colour photo for each completed design.
