Week Two - Floral Arrangements

I had a really good day today. We did our first floral arrangements and I was impressed with how modern the designs were. As cut flowers are expensive, we did one design in the morning and then recycled the flowers and foliage for another one in the afternoon.

I was pleased to be using one of my favourite flowers - the gerbera.

The first arrangement was a vase arrangement. This is a cube vase filled with oasis which is hidden by pink sisal.

This sadly had to be dismantled ready for the decorative limited line arrangement with leaf manipulation. Some tropical foliage was added to the mix as well as a feature sphere.

Leaf manipulation including plaited palm leaf

As we were done for the day I got to take this one home :-)
