Can you please list the recipe. Absolutely gorgeous runner.
Stunning 😍
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the gifting me the class today. Beautiful work
So interesting to watch the process, thank you for sharing your beautiful work
Thank you! This is very similar to the installation I will be doing this Summer. I will be using hydrangea, roses, and dahlias. Do dahlia stems penetrate the agrawool? A little concerned about dahlias.
Do you have a link for the birdcage thingy? Would like to use these agrawool -- also did you find it harder to insert with softer stems (poking a hole first?)
Beautiful! what would the price point be for an installation like this?
So beautiful! You are very talented.
Thank you so much!
This gorgeous and I absolutely LOVE IT, but where are your pants from???😍
A piece of art!
Such a gorgeous piece! So helpful! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! Love this bouquet! Do you ever worry about the longer stems snapping, like those longer ranunculus? Do you ever wire them or how do you keep them from breaking since they’re so tall? Thank you!
it's so reassuring and useful to see your pace and readjustments as you go. I've gotten self conscious watching tutorials when people rarely backtrack or adjust.
So so stunning!
Thank you!
Can you share how many bunches you used for this installation? Love it!
How much was this arrangement and what do you charge for delivery?
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤
Learned so many things. Thank you so much!
I've never heard of oshun pouches (I'm in Australia); but how do you prevent the water coming out on to the table?
She mentions at 10:30 that once the pouches drain a little then they soak all the water and no longer drip out. :)
They are contained in a type of film holds the water and the substance inside. However, to soak them you have to poke about we holes on each side. So, right after soaking them they will drain a bit out of these holes. That’s why I’d recommend designing this a few hours before you place it on any type of linen!
How often do you or can you reuse the oshun pouches?! This is so beautiful and love the sustainability!
They aren’t designed to be reusable, but are regenerative in that you can add them to your garden soil!
@@floraleducation thank you that makes sense. So unlike foam being able to reuse over again these are one time use but less toxic and can decompose in your garden
What font is this? It’s so pretty
Which one? On the cover or in the video intro?
@@floraleducation yes!
It’s called Evangelina!
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful font.@@floraleducation
Hi! I enjoyed this tutorial, thank you for sharing! Q: did you have any difficulty inserting the hydrangea stems into the Agra-wool? How do you soak it when you are using a large sheet of it. Thank you!😊
OMG !! That's a piece of art!! sooo beautiful!!
Beautiful! Question...how forgiving is it to re insert stems onto this new foam?
So beautiful! How many hydrangeas did you use?
Stoked for this! I like working with Floral Foam (with the exception of the toxicity, waste, etc etc etc..) and when I first saw this, I thought it was real wool (yeah....). I just looked this up it seems like pretty great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your kindness ❤
Very interesting 🎉
Gorgeous design
How many Stems are you used for this bridal bouquet? What could be a good price?
I would suggest a $400 price point for this bouquet because the charlotte ranunculus are very pricey!
Who are you wearing 😍
Gorgeous. What’s the foliage you are using? With the gold?
Just stunning Alyssa!
Such a beautiful bouquet, and I love the idea of using the willow! Thank you 😃
of course!! Thank you so much for watching!
thanks for sharing your knowledge! I'm lovin 'it!! I have a question, what do you think is one of the reasons why the hydrangeas sometimes they start to die immediately when they are in green foam or Agra wool? Thanks!!
Love it! Also, your outfit!!
The form is beautiful, but only white hydrangeas? To me this is truly boring.
Thank you! We chose hydrangea to support a small farm and to showcase that this sustainable foam product works well even on stems that really need hydration. Thanks for tuning in, even if you were bored while doing so 🤣
@@floraleducation Couldn't you have done the same Plus use some variation in form and color? Just thinking out loud...
Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder…to me, this is truly stunning! Definitely agree that the form is beautiful, the way she executed it is pure artistry 💛
Thank you so much for this great mechanic tip! All my florals designs are foam free and I don’t like using chicken wire much, so this is great!
Love it!
How much would you typically charge for this?
It would totally depend on the price of the hydrangea, but I used exactly 100 stems. Let's say they are $4/each wholesale - I would charge around $1,600 for this.
@@floraleducation thank you! 🥰
This bouquet is spectacular!! The colors and form - so, so beautiful!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
This was amazing! I love the use of only one ingredient and no foam. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I've noticed the agrawool being difficult to use for more delicate stems. Or when it's too thick, the agrawool just pushes in without actually puncturing the wool. Do you have any advice?
Yes, it's definitely not ideal for really delicate stems. I tend to not use small, delicate stems for larger installations, but if I am using Agrawool for a centerpiece design, I will use a little stick or stake to poke a hole for the more delicate stem. This works okay if it's not hanging upside down (as it might be in an installation). I've recently started using the Oshunpouch for installations and like it a lot better because it doesn't drip and accepts more delicate stems more easily.
Great tips and wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much.
Thank you!!
Looks amazing, so nice to see it all come together. Did you use a frog pin for this beautiful piece?
Thank you so much! I believe I was using a "Hairpin flower holder" from Floral Genius. They are slightly different than a pin frog!
Love your bouquet! Can’t wait for more bouquet videos!
Coming soon!
Beautiful
Thank you so much
you mentioned you would link the bases you used. I don't see those. Do you mind sharing?
Of course! I will add it to the caption, but I'll put it here too: www.etsy.com/listing/607288186/two-square-tan-stands?ref=listings_manager_grid
This is beautiful. thx for the tutorial. Any tips on keeping hydrangea from wilting once in the installation, especially for an outdoor event.
Thank you! These hydrangea are in agrawool, which is a compostable material that holds water. These hydrangea lasted several days before wilting! If you are creating this for an outdoor event and it's hot, I would recommend using a different variety of hydrangea, such as Peegee hydrangea, because it's doesn't wilt much- it more just dries in perfect form. You can also try to source the hydrangea locally, because it will last much longer if it's not sitting in a box being shipped for days.
