How to make a simple flower arrangement - - HOW TO ARRANGE FLOWERS IN FOAM

This week I've chosen a simple selection of supermarket Iris to create a striking designs. At the base I've used minimal foliage to cover my floral foam and add base weight to the arrangement.
This arrangement is a great style for beginners and not too expensive to recreate.
If you are new to arranging, take a few minutes to view my Back to Basics series which will explain how to create a very all round arrangement using a minimal amount of flowers.

    Sharon, Loved the way you changed the direction of the arrangement by moving the Iris from the left to the right side. I would love for you to show completed arrangements, a bit distorted, then go in and show how to correct them. Or, maybe build an arrangement the wrong way and correct it as you go. This would help train the eye to spot problems that can be corrected. I just finished a spring arrangement that took me a week to figure out why it didn’t look right. I kept going back to rethink the design. Tonight I added a taller single stem to the back center, like you often do. It helped balance the height of the container and revealed a disconnected line that I was able to finish as well. Your confidence amazes me, the way you just snip those stems to the exact length every time. I hope someday to advance to that level, but then you do have enormous experience to go with your designs. Thank you so much for explaining as you go. I’m learning slowly, but enjoying each & every one of your videos!

    Well done Diane for experimenting and persevering with your arranging. I have been arranging for a long, long time and different people see things in a different way, so there is so much more to learn. I'm wondering if maybe my followers could send photos of there arrangements, so I can help them with their problems. Then I could discuss them in a tutorial.

    You are correct, its proper name is a Kenzan and there is a very simple arrangement using a Kenzan coming soon

    Lovely Sharon. What would you call this design, it isn't a vertical arrangement as it hangs over the edge, so just wondering what name you would give it? Maybe its a line arrangement? Thanks

    I'm not sure if I would give it a specific name, its more Form Linear than Line. Sometimes its hard to categorise a design when its so simple.
