I love this Astar! But I can’t think of autumn yet we just moving into summer here 😂
thank you for this video. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Hello Astar~ First you got me hooked on all-green floral designs. Then, more recently, green and white. This is fab! Especially as I’m looking to put a green and white design in my dining room for the spring / summer season. Time to hunt out a vintage “boat.” Thank you for sharing this! 💖 I’ve been researching Constance Spry as I like what you’ve said about her and her design philosophies. Anything you do to help me understand I find helpful as I look for her books… so thank you doubly for this. 💖💖
Thanks, hope to harvest some from my tree this year and start making my own stash.
STUNNING!
You're amazing Astar❤
Lol thats me. Got a machine doing nothing. 😅
Really beautiful I love those colors 💕🥰💐
Absolutely stunning!. I love the way, all the colours compliment each other, so beautifully🧡💚🤎🍁🍐🍂
Love the colours and the copper container ❤
The Autumn colors are beautiful! Those roses make the perfect focal!
I really like that you are ahead in the seasons because I can plan accordingly. I am looking forward to all your fall/autumn videos.
What an exceptionally beautiful arrangement! Your many talents always amaze. It would be wonderful to have you do a tutorial on how you burnished the copper vessel. What a perfect container and it couldn’t have been any more in sync for the Fall season.
Oh Capri, Amalfi e Positano... Sogno Italiano in un vaso❤❤❤
Signora Lei ha un gusto raffinatissimo e grazie a Lei il matrimonio risulterà elegante e unico. Ancora complimenti 👏
Stupendo, poesia d'autunno ❤
Wow stunning 😍
In Australia we call it autumn. Why are you saying "fall"???!
I suppose I should say autumn, but the current requests are from a place where its referred to as THE FALL.
You’re REALLY on a roll lately, Astar! These recent videos have been some of my absolute faves from you 🙏🏻 This autumn abundance arrangement is no exception! Wow, the colors and textures into that big golden pot are exquisite! Very nicely done! It’s nice to have a balance to the seasons because the weather can be hot here in the north, but we get visually refreshed and cooled by your autumn colors 🍁
Recommend by chatgpt, great 👍
So elegant! The eucalyptus and olive branch was the crowning glory. Know the wedding will be memorable with these gorgeous arrangements!
Really beautiful ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful arrangement and you have displayed the orchids as they would be growing in nature which I haven't seen before 🎉. I live in London England XXX.
Simple and elegant Astar. Wonderful job.
This is absolutely gorgeous!!! Wow, I REALLY like the vase! And the combination of flowers/greens is perfection! The hanging piece, too! What a beautiful wedding this is going to be! 🤍💚🤍 I’m so glad you’re here to help us all! 🙏🏻
Beautiful👍🤍💚
Just beautiful! I’m so glad I found you. You’re such an inspiration! Keep them coming, please. God bless you.
I like your channel But I find that her energy is just all over the place and it would be best served if you could breathe and bring it back to the center I also wish that you cut flowers rather than artificial
Are the poppy pods real or are they artificial?
Hi Anna, the poppies are real and dried off from last season. Hope this helps Astar
I really like the "Honesty". I've always called them "Paper Dollars". They are so pretty and dainty. It all came together quite nicely. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful.💕🥰💐
I love your accent. 🩷 Great recipe! I make my own essential oil perfume rollers but I use almond oil. Just leaving this comment for someone like me whose skin doesn't like jojoba. Substitute it for almond oil. It absorbs easily too. 🙂
Exactly what I want.
So pretty! I really like the poppy pods!
That’s gawgus! I’ve still not used my boat vase like that from the antique shop! Now I’ve got some blooms in the garden I’ll have to get a shift on and try it out! 🎉
Love your creativity and designs! Watching from Louisiana, USA
I was a bit worried when that hydrangea popped out, haha! But it all came together in the end (or course it did!), and looked really beautiful! Almost like a little piece of meadow came inside 🌼 The poppy pods are very cool! We all enjoy watching you work and figure things out! Makes it all feel much more approachable 🙏🏻
Thanks Jesse, I think that this is the best way to teach and inspire. Not everything goes to plan, so if it looks like disaster happened or is about to happen, DON'T panic, just come at it from another angle. Nothing perfect in the botanical world & we must just go with the flow. Warm regards Astar
I love it
I love you Astar❤ I could watch you constantly make arrangements and listen to you talk 😊
Fantastic idea.great job.
Thank you, thank you
I absollutely love watching your videos. My question is where do I find that long stem white flowers??? I love the length.
So happy to see you again, Aster. I’m such an admirer of yours. You are absolutely fabulous!😊
Beautiful!
Love your New Zealand accent - from a follower in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States!
I always learn so much from your videos! You are a wonderful teacher! Thanks!
Great request Maria - such a beautiful design Astar 🧡🩷 Thank you for the tip about using greens to help colours link 💚
Gorgeous! I absolutely love peonies! I'm sure Maria's mom will be so delighted to have this beautiful arrangement.
WOW!!! What an absolutely spectacular arrangement! I really enjoyed watching you make a big, artificial floral display! I had actually missed it because you really achieve wonders with these forms! Very well done, and I totally enjoyed the process! Agree about the berries!!!
Beautiful! ❤❤❤
