Last night in floral class we learned how to create flower girl halos. Betty, the instructor, says that you can use the same techniques to create garlands for arches, table-scapes, and bouquets.

 This week in flower class we learned what flowers can hold up overtime and without a water source. We focused on learning wiring techniques to help lengthen the stems of flowers that would otherwise be too short or too delicate to place in a bouquet holder. To me, the overall bouquet came out okay, but class was more about technique and getting the flowers to stay put, which is why there is such a large variety of material being used.

 Last night in Weddings class we practiced wrapping the handles of bouquets. This trick allows you to use a bouquet holder while making is appear that you have real stems. Pretty nifty! I then covered the under side of the holder with sword fern and finished it with purple ribbon, white ribbon, and corsage pins. We were sent home with a long list of different wraps to try out before the next class. |

Back in flower class and it feels so good!!!! Last night was bouquet class! Betty, my flower teacher, said that it was a little too tight and bunched together. People can not appreciate each individual bloom. She also suggested that I could have worked some of the sword fern into the middle to help tie everything together. This is what I love about class! Honest and caring feedback that will help me improve:) love the color pallet and the overall feel of the bouquet.

So, I'm brainstorming for an October wedding in Julian! So excited to be a part of Jessica and Jordan's day. It will take place outdoors in a clearing surrounded by trees. So romantic. The color pallet will consist of grey greens, burnt oranges, and rustic reds. The feeling that you just walked out into a field and gathered the flowers.
I am a visual person, so I love to Google the theme of the event and find images that inspire me to create beautiful arrangements. I also like to look at the Sierra Flower Finder website. So much useful info is posted here. So many options!
