Floristry Qualification

I am so pleased to have got back to floristry again.  Here is the first week's arrangement.

I love the soft green and cream ..... such a classic look.

Jane Packer's Flower School

Wow!!  Can't believe what a fantastic day I had on Friday at the Jane Packer Flower School.

Gav booked me a place on Jane's Masterclass for my birthday so as you can imagine I have so excited about it since then!!

We started the day making a huge handtied arrangement from:
Dahlia 'Diane'
Hydrangea 'Lime Light'
Rose 'Vendela'
Calla 'Rossetti'

Jane and Duncan demonstrated how to do it and then it was our turn .......

Me with my arrangement before packaging it up

After lunch it was time for the part of the day I was most hoping for - the chance to make one of Jane's signature arrangements .... a Hat Box!

Once again, Jane and Duncan demonstrated the technique, this time, step by step.

The flowers we used included:

Rose 'Black Baccara'
Rose 'Sweet Naomi'
Celosia
Sedum

All packaged up and ready for delivery .....

Purple and Cream Bouquet

Beautiful Vermeer callas, cream roses and lisianthus.

Purple and Cream

Two table arrangements - one in oasis and one handtied.

Traditional Corsage

A traditional corsage made from a cream rose and tiny orchids. A corsage is worn by female members of the bridal party either on the lapel, handbag or wrist.

Candle arrangement

I really loved putting this arrangement together - it was just before Christmas so looked great with all the decorations!
