How to make a Parallel Flower Arrangement-FLORISTRY/FLOWER ARRANGING-HOW TO ARRANGE FLOWERS IN FOAM

There are lots of different names for this type of design, whether you call it a table arrangement, all round design, posy arrangement or circular design, the construction is the same.
This weeks arrangement uses groups and clusters of spring flowers in a Parallel style.
Parallel flower arrangements use strong sections of the same flowers and foliage to form the main section of the arrangement. Each group consists of the same type of flower or foliage. Base weight of flat leaves, bark, moss or stones can be used to cover the floral foam.
If you are new to arranging, take a few minutes to view my Back to Basics series which will explain how to create a very all round arrangement using a minimal amount of flowers.

Very modern, but quite lovely for springtime cheerfulness. Good job. Your flower arrangements are always made better by your wonderful English accent!
