How to make a Sunflower flower arrangement - FLORISTRY/FLOWER ARRANGING - ARRANGING FLOWERS IN FOAM

This weeks arrangement is inspired by the colours of the Ukrainian flag and uses the complementary colours yellow and blue.
This arrangement follows patterns and structure to make a formal design creating columns of flower types, clustering and grouping the colours together. Its been arranged to be viewed from the front and would look great on a hall table, reception desk, alter or on a tall console table. centre of a table.
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.
Next month is the launch of my online 10 Week Course, follow the link for more information

    It looks amazing. I love the way you balance the arrangement by using hazel with the leaves on the opposite side. Great work - Denmark.

    How long will the sunflowers last in the foam? I need the arrangements to last at least six days.

  • @sharondower

    @sharondower

    Жыл бұрын

    They should be good for 6 days maximum. But less if the room is hot. Try and get them deep into the foam and make sure you can fill the container regularly with water to keep the foam hydrated. Hope that helps 😃
