How to Create a 100% Organic Wreath Base
It looks fantastic 😊 So creative, i love it!..
Thanks, I'm so glad you like this one & hope you'll try it yourself. 🍃
Will the Floral Column fall over easily with the weight of the materials? It is absolutely beautiful ! Great job !
Thank you for your comment. No this base is concrete with a plastic pipe set in place, unless of course its a super windy day, in that case i would insert the branch directly into the soil for stability.
Thank you sooooo very much. That was exactly what I was looking for in constructing a floral tower without foam. Big fan from London

This is the best explanation of how to arrange your flowers. I took a semester at a community college and I loved it so much. However, the teacher the never mentioned he color wheel to us. I guess it was just the basics. So, I-now understand to arrange by color. Thanks so much 😊

Hi Nadine, I have only recently found your amazing channel,. It is so informative and inspiring. I have had a disability illness for over 20 years, and have found that gardening with lots of flowers is the best therapy of all. I have been gardening for almost 50 years, and I have recently started growing flowers again in our new garden specifically for cutting. My mum taught me some basic floristry skills that she learnt from her mother. Before she died she left me many of her vases and a few are very old, from England. I was so excited to see your video about vases as I have cupboard full of them and I have used everyone of them. You have really helped me in re-thinking the best ways of using the vases; thank you. I would love to come to some of your classes but I live in subtropical Qld. One thing I have particularly found since living here is that it was so much easier to grow disease free flowers when we lived in Victoria.
Welcome, & lovely to hear you share my love of vases. Thanks for sharing your story with me & yes we'd love to welcome you to real life Ivy Greenhouse sometime. you can find all of my courses herewww.theivyinstitute.com.au/events-courses
Florist for 30 years. Color theory is a myth. The color wheel is for decorators NOT florists. We are seasonal floral designer. Exp. Picture a bright blue and yellow are in your home. No. We design spring colors for a spring order. Fall colors for a fall order. We stay in the season. Color wheels put non seasonal blends and you loose. Focus in the design. The split complimentary becomes a confusion No cohesive feel in any interior
I think it can be fun to use this idea sometimes. I do use it myself at times (mind you, I’ve only been working as a florist for a year, but I do have education and training in other arts where I worked with colour theories and even colour psychology). Though I do go more with a balance of colours and their hues or shades.
thanks for sharing your opinion, as you can probable guess I do disagree. As designers i think its imperative we understand the colour wheel in all of it's shades & tones when we design especially for interiors. We may have our favourite harmonies but it's important to expand our knowledge as well as meet a clients brief.
