Flower School Week 1 part 2


European Hand-tied up close


European hand tied


One sided triangle

Well I have realized the one sided triangle like the one above is definitely not my favorite! But a basic design skill that is used quite often. The european hand tied was actually quite fun! The goal is to have the bouquet stand on its own after you are done, which it did! yea!!

Flower School Week 1


Classic English design (Paul Mass Design)


A dozen red roses arranged


Simple Bud vase

This was my first week of flower school! I am really excited about it and so far I come home in a great mood! And after playing with flowers for 3 hrs who wouldn't be happy? They started us off pretty simple but I have already learned a lot!

Hydrangea Little Lime

This is one of my new favorite plants. Shorter, compact, loaded and I mean Loaded with flowers. And they have been blooming for at least a month, and now starting to turn a pink. I highly suggest this beauty!
