Mayesh Design Star: Compote & Chicken Wire Centerpiece

#floraldesign #centerpiece #floralarrangement #MayeshDesignStar
In her final episode of our 2018 Design Star video series, Kaylee demonstrates how she creates one of her signature centerpieces using a compote and florist netting (aka chicken wire). This particular design features Sahara roses from QualisA and White Majolika spray roses from Hosa, both MDS sponsors. The demonstration ends with Kaylee's tip on how to extend the length of a short stem using a water tube.
Featured Products: dahlias, ninebark, maple, scabiosa, foxglove, roses, anemones, Japanese anemones, berries, and foraged materials.
For a more seasonal look, the same arrangement can be made for the holidays using a richer color palette and substituting amaryllis in lieu of dahlias. Seasonal evergreens like Port Orford cedar, juniper, and Douglas fir can replace fall foliages. Hellebores, hyacinth, Star of Bethlehem and anenomes are great this time of year as secondary and accent flowers. Ilex berries or holly berry provide a nice seasonal texture as well as adding branches or cones for a more wintery look.

Note: Foraging, although done for thousands of years, has once again regained popularity. We would like to offer you some guidelines and etiquette to follow when you are out collecting in nature:
*Always respect private properties and ask permission if you are unsure - do not trespass.
*Never cut protected or endangered native species. This includes plants that are growing inside our national and local parks.
*Do not take more than you need.
*Avoid pulling up from the root - leave the plants intact and exercise judicial pruning.
*Use clean shears, knives, and cutters.
*Leave the area as you found it by leaving no trace that you were there.
*Do not disturb natural wildlife habitats.

Can’t find such big open roses like that at my wholesaler. Are these just bought in advance and left to open properly? I struggle to get my roses to open so big and beautiful like that. Any tips out there? 😑

[@Mayesh]

Hi Saskia - we just published a care guide that includes how to process your roses. info.mayesh.com/flower-care-guide But, yes most designers buy their roses in advance to allow them to fully open especially for weddings and events.

Beautiful young lady....why such speed??? (Got dizzy)

[@susangreenler3517]

Defeats the purpose of it being an instructional video if you are going to fast forward it and not show exactly how it's done. I miss the previous years Mayesh designer instructional videos where it shows you step by step how the designer does the arrangement, e.g., Mandy Majerick, etc. This is frustrating to watch.

[@7ven7]

That's exactly what I thought....Somehow I never liked her arrangements

[@kanuti3]

very disappointed in the this video. I like the Mayesh videos because i get to see how it goes together. The fast speed isn't really helpful

Last time I sae that many flowers I lost my wife.
