How to Make a Traditional Symmetrical Triangle Flower Arrangement
Lets take a look at another version of the very traditional triangle arrangement. A hugely popular design in commercial florists shops and a much loved flower arrangement used by flower arrangers using garden flowers.
In our last video we looked at a very simple version of this design, just using standard carnations. Todays version introduces lots more flowers and foliages and talks you through how to make a country inspired triangle flower arrangement.

Thanks, glad I've cheered you up a bit
I am so very grateful to see you on Facebook. I had been wanting to see all the different styles of arrangements. I'm not even sure how I came across your video except to say I really believe my heavenly Father brought you across my path and for that I am really thankful. I truly enjoy watching and listening to you teach. God bless you!!! I have been doing something with flowers for around 35 years now, but I prefer silks. I like real flowers, but I like the fact that silks are so flexible and last.

@@sharondower Could you show a pedestal arrangement? Church flower arrangers have very limited budgets which means relying mostly on supermarket flowers and usually have to beg steal or borrow foliage! Quite a challenge so any ideas and tips from you would be very welcome!
This was very helpful. Thank you for these videos!

Sharon, this is exactly what I need for Christmas! I’m using white flowers and holiday greenery from the floor at the front corners of our altar. I’m thinking a V shape to wrap from front to side. I’ll look for pure white and creamy white flowers against a backing of cedar and/or fir. Some Bells of Ireland for that bright green.

Lovely tutorial. I wonder,🤔I was told some 30 years ago that you should not use scissors when cutting flowers for arrangements, because it will crush the flower veins and reduce water supply. Today I see many people using them instead of a sharp knife. Are the flower handling methods changed so much over the years?

great comment, when I'm working as a florist, I use a knife for speed and to protect some delicate stems but I still need scissors and secateurs for woody type flowers. I choose to use a scissors on the KZread channel because the channel is aimed at beginners and without proper training, a knife is difficult to use and I wouldn't want anyone to have a accident!! But yes, you were correct, a knife is great for florists
Thank you Sharon for the wonderful tutorials & arrangements. Just one question, could you please turn UP the volume on you videos? It is fairly low, and I am wearing hearing aids but still have to turn up my volume to nearly 100%. Thank you so much.

Hi Jannie - many thanks for watching, currently the volume is as high as it goes, but their are plans for a microphone (just can't decide which one) - also each video has subtitles if that helps. Also I have a strong Welsh accent, so that probably doesn't help.

Was it your intention to have more flowers on the right of the arrangement than the left?
Would it be nice if you showed more the front of the arrangement, rather than the back at all times
