The first task we faced today was to prepare an asymmetrical, linear and parallel-bound bouquet, and let me tell you, they might not look like a lot of work, but they certainly are. Here is my first attempt at such a bouquet:
I just came back from another part of my floristry course and I’m flying! Well, not literally, especially that I hurt all over, but I’m in this state of well-satisfied exhaustion, having spent all my creative and physical strengths up to their limits - on arranging flowers. The first task we faced today was to prepare an asymmetrical, linear and parallel-bound bouquet, and let me tell you, they might not look like a lot of work, but they certainly are. Here is my first attempt at such a bouquet: And here is the reason why I can hardly move – a huge (I think it had over a meter in diameter) funeral arrangement, which took over 2 hours to make and required some heavy lifting and crawling on the ground in order to evenly arrange the bottom part – but I must say the final result fully justifies the effort, even if I say so myself ;-) And here is the final arrangement we did today, also a funeral one, this one a bit smaller and tear-shaped – which was the biggest challenge (we had to adjust the length of each flower exactly right, so that a perfect tear is formed). I may not love yellow flowers that much, but combined like this I really do not mind! And tomorrow we’ll be doing my two favourite types of flower arrangements – table arrangements and Christmas ones, including wreaths – I really can’t wait!!! :-)
