Yesterday’s lesson was all about expanding my {floral} horizons. I learned how to do a floral arrangement in a horizontal design. Boy was it tough.. the circle design learned earlier in the week was like a walk in the park. This one, however, was rather challenging.
Slowly but surely the arrangement took shape.
Well, it certainly may not look like much not but after adding in the Astor flowers and Eustomas, the arrangement came together.
I guess I didn’t really do a good job in covering the spaces but that was quickly rectified with the use of wax flowers and tea-leaves.
Finally pleased with the arrangement which is now sitting on our dining table for the next couple of days before a fresh one comes along to replace it. 
Next week I get to play with an arrangement using one of my favourite flowers – White or Apple Green Carnations! Can’t wait!

Lesson one taught me how to use floral foam the proper way. I also learned about binding points and how to aesthetically arrange the flowers in a systematic way instead of just randomly arranging them.
The arrangement slowly coming together. The violet Eustomas were used as fillers for the roses. Also learned how to arrange them in a proper manner. 
Ta-dah.. the finished product arranged by yours truly!! Twigs and the wooden plate not included but I get to keep the arrangement and some of the basic tools used during the lesson.
