Welcome back! John and Janos I love this. Thanks to you, I did my first wedding!! My son got married in a provincial park on Lake Ontario, which was really lovely. I brought a bucket of flowers that were sold at the end of laneways of farms and used them for my new daughter-in-law's bouquet and my son's boutoniere. They wanted everything to be natuural. My new daughter-in-law is an artist, very fond of colour, so I used my knowledge of spiraling learned from my teacher, John, and made a handle of lace for both--my son's feature flower was a snapdragon! Thank you so much for making me confident enough--thankfully my debut was an easy one! So her bouquet was more like this one than the traditional floral style, I guess you really are my teacher!
😊 I’m so glad to hear everything went well, and thank you for your kind feedback. I would love to see some pictures ( FlowerJoos@gmail.com ) and it sounds like the perfect selection for the bride and the setting. Mixed farm flower buckets can have a really exciting mix - and it’s good to be local and sustainable. Hope you make more designs - as you say just try it, be confident and see what happens! 😀🌼
I'm not gonna lie...I had to fast forward a few times because I was just dying to see the end result! And I kept thinking of the word "funky" and then you said the same word! That last piece you put in for movement and used glue on really made it. L❤VE it, John. You are soooooo creative!
Ohhh never expected to get a reply :-) but yes, been making wedding bouquets for 20 years & if a cascade / shower, I'd wet the oasis holder maybe Tuesday for a Saturday wedding (to ensure some drying out) & wire the longest lengths as you do through the foam & loop back but for the shorter stems a thin line of cold glue on the stem edge (not the end so as not to "bung" up the end) & it works a treat - wait until the cold glue starts to go opaque & in you go stays very secure :-)
Fantastic 😀 thanks for sharing your tip - it’s good to have different approaches up our sleeves 😀 even for hand-tied bouquets I find I do them in a couple of different ways rather than just one way all the time 🌼
@@FlowerJoos yes - been using this method for 20 years. I wire in the long stems & run a thin line of glue along the stem not on the stem end so the stem can still take up water … works very well 👍
Love this little cutie, good for a person who’s size is like mine but you need to put more flowers in it for someone who’s bigger then me. Just a thought…
I was making an arrangement today and I was looking at my rhipsalis and used canna leaves instead. Talk about going into a completely different direction.
Thank you 😊 not yet - but what style of book - basics, coffee table? One book only would have to cover a lot of content. I’m intrigued what would appeal to people.
What would appeal to me is instructional sketches and then beautiful photographs. A section on the basics and then a section on "enjoying the flowers, and getting creative" I think both elements--and include your personality.@@FlowerJoos
I like the modernity of the bouquet but I do not get the long holder… it seems very long. Having seen you at a demonstration in Aberdeen a number of years ago I know you are tall!! Good to see a different design though.
Thank you 😊 it was long - I did think of shortening it but it wasn’t easily changed. You are right though - maybe our designs reflect us all a little - tall, or short, or colourful etc? 😀
Kermit chrys look lovely but they shatter so easy also i never soak my holder i wire in trailing greenery and flowers then glue in top flowers, let bouquet sit for a wee while thrn give it a good spray seems to work ok.😂😂
They can shatter - but the pop of green is a nice touch. That’s interesting your method, but the glue would stop the flowers accessing the water source? With a bridal bouquet it’s all about security though, and it just needs to last the day 😀🌼
@FlowerJoos agree I thought this also but so far beern ok although will say i usually do all wired for shower bouquets. Your bouquet was gorgeous by the way 🏴😁
This man is truly the master of the artful and the original!! Love to watch all his demonstrations!
Thank you so much 😊 😀👋
That looks different but looks great.Thanks John.
Thank you 😊🌼
Lovely John. Beautiful for a beach wedding. ❤
Thank you 😊 that’s a perfect setting!

I love this! And thank you for including the names of the plants used.
Thank you so much 😊
Glad to see you back! 😊
It’s good to be back - and was good to have time to create new content 😀🌼
Such amazing greenery. Definitely for a bold and artistic bride.
We need more brides to be bold and artistic - so many play safe with their choice! 🌼
A lot of work,but the effect is fascinating . A little masterpiece 😊
Thank you 😊 🌼
Nice job - good to see you back
Thank you 😊

😊 Thank you - That’s good feedback to hear you zoomed forward! 😀🌼
На маленьком островке разместить столько растений. Вы мастер!

Looks fantastic, I have often wondered what to do with those sisal holders, thank you
😀 Thank you
Very neat. Looks beautiful. Very different.
❤️🫶❤️
Thank you 😊 🌼
This is a work that I love very much, and a very accurate work. Greetings to you from Egypt, you are really creative
Thank you 😊 hello to you in beautiful Egypt!
Your artistry never ceases to amaze me. I learn so much from watching you. The bouquet is very "funky" !!
😊 Thank you so much 🌼🌼🌼
Another level of beauty ❤
Thank you 😊
Amazing job! I could never imagine a bouquet like that! I am astonished of what you created!
😊 thank you 🌼
C'est très original, de belles couleurs. Bonjour de France ( I don't speak Inglish )
merci beaucoup - et bienvenue ! 🌼😊
Gorgeous ❤
❤️😊
Welcome back- hope you got enough rest during your break! Super weird but super cool bouquet, very fun
Thank you 😊 yes it was good to have a bit of a break. Glad you like the design 😀🌼
Interneting design and I like it.
Wonderful to see you back, John! That is an unusual holder for the bouquet for sure! Your creativity come to the fore with this bouquet. Nicely done!
It’s good to be back 😀 the cone is actually very comfortable to carry, and elegant as well with a drop style bouquet.
Hope you are well 🌼👋

I always use cold glue on the stem & whilst it doesn’t set it creates a stickier surface so helps stems stay secure. Mags the gilded lily Lancashire ❤
Thank you Mags! 😊 so that’s into the wet foam as well?
@@FlowerJoos yes - been using this method for 20 years. I wire in the long stems & run a thin line of glue along the stem not on the stem end so the stem can still take up water … works very well 👍

Thank you 😊 it can be altered to suit - and also good for a simple registry wedding, something special but not over the top. 😊
Fabulously Amazing!! I saw you using rhipsalis and don't they have fine thorns? My plant dose and gets me every time.
Thank you 😊 this one doesn’t - which is better for a bridal design! I love these plants 🌱

Beautiful work John!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

@@FlowerJoos you too 😊🌻☀️
Really great to see you. Any chance that youve compiled a blueprint ruffdraft for your book ?

Needed one more rose at the bottom
The roses were so big - but it would take more flowers for sure 😀🌼
