All Round Free Standing Design

This week we introduce new students to the class with a simple but challenging design, the free standing all round floral design.

Using either a florist pedestal stand or a large candle stick holder. The idea is to get height into the design away from the table - as if the arrangement is suspended above. Pictured is the stand with one segment removed and a large candle has been placed into the arrangement. These stands can be painted to suite your party theme or wedding celebrations. This is an easy way to add height and visual bulk in a hall or function area.
 

Students need to bring:

1 florist pedestal stand - 2 in you are making a pair
1 block dry oasis (the grey colour oasis)
4 bunches of 5 stems flowers - student’s choice - or similar (double quantity if making a pair)
4 stems of 3 blooms chrysanthemums - student’s choice - or similar (double quantity if making a pair)
3 stems of 3 deep purple moss pods (double quantity if making a pair)
1 bunch of 5 stems eucalyptus leaf foliage (double quantity if making a pair)

Horizontal Tropical Design

This week's horizontal design is enveloped in a medium sized Palm Husk. Using 3 buds and 2 open Green Orchid Blooms with 2 Green Anthuriums, a branch of Maiden Hair Fern, some coco fibre and other assorted ferns and twigs proves us with a quick and easy arrangement to do with the extra added bonus of creating a stylish and contemporary professional design arrangement to enhance your dining table, living room or gift for a loved one.

1 palm husk - or similar - students choice
1 green orchid stem - requires 3 buds & 2 blooms - colour or variety – student’s choice
