Back to Basics - Horizontal Design
This is the seventh video in my new 'Back to Basics' series which aims to teach the basic design shapes in traditional flower arranging/floristry. In this video, I teach you about the Horizontal design often referred to as a long and low arrangement and guide you step-by-step from start to finish.
The 'Back to Basics' series is ideal for beginners looking to train as a florist or start a new hobby with arranging flowers. These tutorial videos are also suitable for intermediate arrangers looking to update their skills.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments and I hope you come back next week where we learn about a diagonal design.
Materials Used
Flowers
Spray Carnation
Lisianthus/Eustoma
Alstromeria
Outline foliage
Italian Ruscus
Eucalyptus cinerea
Following the introductory videos is a range of premium videos that go into further detail to launch your flower arranging.

Dear Sharon, I have watched hundreds of hours (seems like) of flower and greenery arranging in the last three months and you just showed up in my KZread feed. After watching three of yours I declare you the BEST! I’m grateful that you use many of the flowers I can find at the grocery store. Buying them from a florist gets very expensive very fast! I’ve shared this video with my altar guild chair to see if we can somehow use them in instructing new members including me! Thank you for talking to the non-florist world.

I think you could use any colour that you like. I don't think you are restricted just use your favourite or whatever colours are in the shop.
Could you do a demonstration on how to do a single ended arrangement that would be fantastic.

camera needs to be focused closer to the arrangement while it is being constructed. Audience needs to see more of the placement positions of the flowers and foliage... over all explanation is extremely helpful.
I use foliage from my garden, including Ivy, Eucalyptus, Camellia, Broom, Hydrangea leaves, and Mexican Orange, plain and variegated. Just some suggestions.

Hi Sharon do you use this recipe for single ended spray.
@sharondower

Hi Debra. This would be a double ended spray as both side are equal in length. A single ended spray would be shorter.on one side. Hope that helps
what is this green material called?
Lovely video, principles beautifully demonstrated in spite of the audio - your voice is totally off mic. Perhaps you might consider reposting it with music and voice over instructions because the natural effects are too low in level.
