lovely !! thank you so much for sharing ,i love your videos
@@annekuss4959 thank you so much 😊
Lovely little piece!
@@byvike ❤️
The "scrunch" is a unique and unexpected detail. I love the variety of greenery used, also. Really takes a single flower to another level.
@@sharone.langley2923 thank you 😊
Fantastic!!
My eyebrows shot up when you scrunched the snake grass you'd wired, but the effect was very interesting! Thanks for the tutorial, John.
@@trudiemason8564 thank you! 😀 I was going to make a shape but it took away from the flower so the scrunch added a detail instead!
What a beautiful flower arrangement! ❤ thank you for the tutorial! I have a question, I wonder if you could answer me. Can I include some red roses and pink Lily for a funeral？
Hello, John! Beautiful work! I happen to think that the mini-callas made wonderful button-holes (boutonnieres). The variety of foliage choices makes for interest and complements the flower so well. Hope all is well with you and yours. Thank you for sharing your talent!
@@stepps511 thank you Sir! The mini calla do make a very classy buttonhole choice and is lighter than a rose which can be quite heavy. Hope you are having a great week - stay classy!
Very Elegant John ❤
@@karenbartnett8312 thank you 😊
Very nice. That tiny work really hurts my arthritis in my hands. I did my sons wedding. I made 7 mens and 10 womens. 1 wrist band. 4 arrangements. For the wedding party and church. 7 arrangements for the reception. Tired after all that. I ❤ flowers and enjoy watching you so I can get different ideas for church each week. ❤️🫶❤️ NC 🇺🇸
@@deannaharrell6803 thank you 😊 that was a lot of work you took on for the wedding, so well done! These are fiddly, so you are right about the pain if you have arthritis. Hope you are now relaxing after the wedding 😀🌼🌼🌼
Hi John, I must say i could have guessed these were the most popular,,,I watched them tons over the years…..i got them all correct except for No 2….i thought your hand tied would have been no 2….but keep doing what your doing….love from Argylle ❤️
@@deenab6476 hello in beautiful Argylle ❤️ thank you for the lovely comment 😊
Thanks
The mutual respect and appreciation are palpable, creating an atmosphere of harmony.💝
Extraordinary creation!
This is lovely! I have been watching a few of your videos and was wondering if you can inspire me and get me some advice please? I am making two medium arrangements for my church tomorrow (sorry about the short notice) 1. A commissioned, medium traditional ‘inspired by fields of wild flowers’ 2 commissioned, medium free form - Free form? ‘Inspired by the lives of mum & dad I have had a brain injury so I need to make them as simple and straight forward but special because they are for our local flower festival. Can you help me with advice and tips what to do? I have used oasis foam in the past Gemma x
Hi Gemma! How exciting, but you are right about the time! You ,use of organised your flowers and have a rough idea of the two designs I think. My best advice is to be very clear with what you want to portray - so maybe for the fields design everything is inserted vertically and naturalistically. So it really has a fiend vibe, with a light airy feel. With the second then you maybe want to show two elements / sections, that are connected maybe? So keep it simple - don’t add extra ideas and elements that take away from the obvious main idea. For foam free, then you need a container that has a little depth to hold a good reservoir of water, and chicken wire makes a good mechanic to hold the flowers - ideally wedge it into the container, or tape it in - you don’t want it rocking about! The other main thing - just enjoy making them! That really shines through as well 😀🌼🌼🌼
@@FlowerJoos thank you for you quick response, sorry i meant Free form style for the 2nd? 1st arrangement - vertical arrangement 2nd arrangement - Would you have any photo or video examples? thanks Gemma😃
@@brodyfromtheblock7 hi Gemma. With a freestyle design you can do anything! So don’t be traditional, steer away from symmetrical triangles - just be creative and have fun. It’s hard to suggest videos or images ( and I can’t post images her as a reply sadly ) because I do t know what you have material wise. If you have chosen two main colours then an idea would be to split these and create a design that has the two side by side ( representing two ) rather than mixing them? If you pop onto Pinterest then there is lots of inspiration there as well. So for this I would ask - what does mum and dad represent to me? How best can I show that ( two elements, or two colours, or things showing lots of connections, or a cooking / gardening theme perhaps ). You can add in props as well that are theme approriate. Now - just as an idea - how about gloves filled with flowers? So cooking mits and gardening gloves maybe? That could be fun! But honestly, just see what you have, make a descision that shows the strongest way to portray what you think reprints the title, and then go for it, but don’t cloud that plan!
@@FlowerJoos thank you so much for your advice, I’ll have some fun 🤩
The stand looks like a mushroom.
I know how to make the structure. Now you have shown me how to decorate it. Vines, I must find vines. Thank you.
This was fun to make and use 😀
This is wonderful! I have plenty of cardboard so I should get busy!
Everything in the top 5 I've watched more than once. I practice floristry as a hobby and therefore your videos are very helpful. Thx for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your such a great teacher, you have a very pleasant voice to listen to. I cannot name anything specific that is in my top 5, it depends on what I want to make and then I look if you have made a video on that specific topic so that I can learn before starting to make my own floristry work. Everything you make I watch every time with great joy. I hope you continue doing so. Again, thanks John. Greatings from Indrani from Knegsel in the Netherlands.
Thank you Indrani, that is great feedback! That is the beauty of KZread, you can watch a video as often as you need and it’s a good resource for all types of things. We have more videos to come - there is unlimited options with flowers really! You are in a great place flower wise in the Netherlands as well 😀 hope you have a great day!
Foam is easy to get but bad for the environment.
I use traditional crumpled chicken wire with adhesive tape as I can't get grid wire.
That works as well 😀🌼
Your skills are amazing
Beautiful way to reuse a bottle
So very cute.
Amazing contrast of colors. It's large but very airy.
Very fun
You foraged peonies .... I hate you😂
You are so creative with your crafts!
I do rosettes all the time. I really need to practice the chocolate box style.
Wonderful
They all were wonderful!
They are ! Great work from everyone! 😀
Traditional formal in a relaxed way is perfect 🤩
And yes, the dining table arrangement is awesome - it was my first hands-on
Thank you 😀
Fantastic video! Do you remember approximately how many stems this took?
Ohh, no, sorry. It did take a lot as they are so thin. Best to think volume rather than stem count as depending on flowers the stem count could be more or less
Beautiful 🎉
Thank you 😊
Not surprised at the top 5, as I remember them well and found them quite interesting and useful ❤. My favorite was the cascade bridal bouquet with the calla lilies; the wiring technique you demonstrated for holding the cascading materials in place helped me greatly when I designed my niece's bridal bouquet a few years ago! ❤ I especially enjoy your large designs, I was inspired to collect greens, young sapling cuts, and wild hops to decrease cost & add unique visual interest to a large piece I created ❤. Keep up the great videos, always look forward to them and the inspiration they bring me, John!
Thank you so much 😊 that was a good video, and its a type of design that needs confidence and skill, so that was good to share. Thank you for watching and supporting us for so long 😀 wild hops are also a good source of free volume and have a great look as well!
Thankyou John, this was a very interesting video for this week.. Loved all five , especially the pedestal arrangement. I do love large arrangements using lots of flowers. I have used your ideas in making wreath table arrangements for my grand daughter's wedding.
Thank you so much 😊 it is fun going bigger with a design - some people think its more difficult but I think its easier tbh. Thank you for the great feedback 😀
So beautiful. Love your accent! What a relaxing and inspiring video.
Thank you! 😊 its not a strong accent I think, but still Scottish!
Thank you for your channel. So awesome! I've really appreciated learning the names of the flowers and greenery both in the video and in the description. Videos enjoyed (hard to narrow the list): Videos with bridal bouquets. I like to make them even if they're not for a wedding. It's kinda like ordering a beautifully decorated birthday cake and enjoying it even though it's not for anyone's birthday! "Popular Hand-Tied Bouquet Using Mixed Flowers - simple, easy to create -" "Three Ways To Finish Off A Hand Tied Bridal Bouquet" (pins in the ribbon) "How To Make A Tied Pew End" "How To Make A Bo-Ho Wedding Bouquet Using Floral Egg" Techniques: Chocolate box bows Arranging flowers and greenery in my hand in a spiral. Magic! Bouquet with flat bottom, cut stems so it stands on its own. Looping long, waxy leaves by piercing with stem. Instead of typical leather leaf fern, using grasses, olive branches, French or Italian ruscus, etc.
Wow - you have really got a lot out of the content, which is amazing. I love that you sometimes make wedding bouquets just for the process - its actually a really good thing to do, as you can get creative, try things out, improve your speed - in other words, hone your skills! And then you can just enjoy the result! Everyone is different and we can learn from everyone around us. I must admit I enjoy watching how to make videos - last night it was great as I made pizza from scratch! But also flower videos. So, you always learn something and your accumulated knowledge is the bits that you use and reflect you. I’m so happy that things I do, like using different foliages, are things you like to do as well, and it will be in your way! Thank you for such a detailed feedback - hope you are having a great week!
@@FlowerJoos It was a pleasure. I look forward to future videos. Wow, pizza from scratch! That's great. Hope you likewise are having a great week!
@@roamingroadtrip5696 😀 and it was good pizza!
I survived a grad march request by producing a lovely wrist corsage on my first try!!!
Congratulations! 😊 they can be fun to make - less fun if you have to make big numbers of them though 🤣
I remember all of these. My favorite was the tropical elephant with the orchids. You should make a reel of that one.
🐘🐘🐘 that was a good one!
I have been watching your videos for a number of years now and often revisit them too. Initially, it was have a go with the view to doing something in the industry but soon had a reality check lol. In my experience, there are so few classes (particularly in Wales) which make your technique videos really helpful. I think also the trend for small, do-it-yourself weddings may have had quite an impact on your top five. You and a lady called Sharon Dower are my definite go to because of your explanation and easy style. There are not so many who show technique. Keep up the good work, John and thank you. 🌸
Thank you so much 😊 that is great feedback and I think you are right about the smaller wedding and the do it yourself aspect as well. It’s good to be able to make things and to make them personal to you as well. We shall keep adding content dont worry! 😀
As a event florist, I look up to you and you're my go- too person on polishing my florist craft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us.
Thank you! You are very welcome 🤗
This is my favorite channel as someone who’s just starting out in floral design!! You always explain things so clearly. I used your videos to guide me through making casket sprays for two of my grandparents’ funerals, as well as arrangements for a small wedding, and I’ve just been hired as an event florist. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge!
Thank you so much 😊 that is great feedback and well done on your move o to this exciting and creative career! That is great that you made your grandparents funeral sprays - that’s beautiful 🌼🌼🌼
I have been "with" you for over 7 years!! I remember these "old" videos--the pedestal one I remember watching a few times over. I believe that #2 was the first time I was brave enough to comment. (now you can't shut me up!) I agree that there is a variety of videos (something for everyone) but I especially liked the "instructional" ones, where you John, are the teacher. More recently, as you've semi-retired, I found that I enjoyed the relaxing aspect of watching an arrangement come to life--you've gone a bit more therapeutic now, saying, "enjoy" the process. I find it fun that I've been around a while. No wonder I'm your biggest fan!
And I always like Janos' comic appearances!
Thank you! In some ways the main floristry items are set pieces and some items such as wreaths we have made a flood few variations in different videos, so it’s good to hear that you are enjoying the other videos as well. Working with flowers should be fun, relaxing, creative - and as you say, it’s about enjoying the process, so that was good feedback to hear. It’s amazing that people have been watching for as long as we have been creating! It’s very much appreciated! Hope you are having a great week!
Love the behind-the-scenes info - thank you, John.
Thank you! 😀
Orchids! On a floral arrangement! Are these people millionaires? You know they have money if they have orchids on their casket.
😀 maybe! This was a white ago, and the orchids can vary in price, so can be a good price when there is a lot in the market.
This is really brilliant! I've seen each of these (at least once) and while I might not have selected them exactly, the top 3 would definitely been "in place". As I've commented previously, I love large and heavily floral designs, John, and you do them as well as anyone I've observed. Thanks for this, and continued best wishes to you, Janos, and all.
Thank you! It was quite interesting to see the designs that have had the most views - they might not be the most special in terms of design, but they are useful and are useable designs, rather than just display designs. I think you are one of our best subscribers and we really appreciate your support! Have a great day! 😀🌼🌼🌼
Beautiful - thank you!
