Artsy Party Last night!



It was a blast. Seven of us clipped and snipped and came up with come great floral arrangements. It was so interesting to see the different personalities show up in their arrangement.
We were working with similar ingredients and some had never done floral before.
Great time.

Here's the skinny on How to...
Start with a container. any size will do
stick floral foam inside about to the top of the sides of the container
Start with a tall focal point and add to the center.
Add larger elements around the middle, stagger the heights of these.
add elements in 3's of three and fives. try to make triangles with the colors. Not group all in one spot.
Get up and look at it from accross the room to see it as a whole.
Fix areas that don't look right.
Put larger items towards the bottom.
Use a variety of sizes and textures to make it more interesting..
Use wire cutters and cut the stems of your florals to be what size you need them to be.
Have fun!
