    I worked in two different floral shops and was blessed to get on the job training. His technique is right on--think shapes. Round, triangles, etc. Dozen roses is always done in a circle, just the way he explained. However, I don't agree with the stem length of the leather leaf. You NEVER want to put any leaves below the water line because that's what kills your flowers. The slime will build up because of leaves in the water. Both shops had to have a longer shelf life, plus if someone buys your arrangement, you don't want them dead once they bring them home. By not allowing leaves in your water, you can have flowers live up to almost two weeks.

    I’m a new floral designer- and have just started in a floral shop as such.
    I got introduced to your channel.
    Floristry has brought me such great joy- and watching you teach has brought me joy as well!
    I wish I had the chance to learn from you in person.
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and talent with the world.
    Throughout the video I kept smiling- and nodding my head in agreement thinking of what I do everyday in design!
    Sending love and light.

    I just happened upon Michael Gaffney’s RUclips video and watched in awe as he demonstrated and explained his techniques for arranging a bouquet of roses. He made the task seem so easy by showing while using language that compared floral arranging techniques to concepts any layperson could relate. I am a retired teacher and tried my hand at some floral arranging years ago. I was not very successful, so I gave up after spending a lot of time and money on a hobby that didn’t pan out.
    Even though I have more time now to spend on a hobby, when I think about my failure back then, I have pushed the thought back and not seriously considered attempting this particular hobby again. After watching just one of his videos, I am eager to rush out and purchase materials to try my hand at arranging some bouquets again…this time with more confidence.
    I read some of the comments after watching the video and was surprised at some of the negative reactions. It makes me wonder at their agendas for slamming his video even if they didn’t agree with some of his techniques. Mr. Gaffney demonstrates qualities of a great teacher. He could have made nasty replies to unkind comments, but he chose to be a better person. Again, a quality of a true teacher as well as a nice guy who has nothing to prove to anyone. His results speak for themselves. Smart!

    I've watched this video many times. Been 6 years now since I was in grocery store floral. But your methods saved me to do the arrangements fast. Retired more rural now but plan on growing lots of things to make my own bouquets. A bit different zone but I've grown the leather leaf ferns and baby's breathe before.

  • @FeatheryBird
    @FeatheryBird 5 лет назад +4

    I learned this technique as a teen but in order for the flowers to last years or decades, they must be dried and assembled in a completely humidity free environment. Then they are baked slowly for up to two weeks in a special room. The Egyptians perfected this technique thousands of years ago, the "secret" is silica grains you mix with sand. This video is all done is a semi outdoor humid environment so the flowers will not last long. I don't particulary like using wine glasses, it's better to use short wide flat glasswear like a covered candy dish that can really showcase the arrangement. If you can find any around I used to work for Ruth Rahns Flowers in PA, hers were only sold in jewelry stores they were so magnificent. The label will be on the bottom. I have only one left I did with wild violets, they last decades after being dried.

    I was professionally taught by Bill Hixson ( School of Floral Design) flowers are placed 1-1&half times the height of the container--- otherwise the arrg't will look squatty.. This will Always look proportional & pleasing to the eye..I was taught so well by Bill, I was selected by Teleflora to design (and published) their Wedding Album ....marketed to 35,000 florist across the US!!! The highlight of my career--- 50 yrs. In this great industry.

    I have learned so many tips just from this video and a few others. I plan on buying his book too. I work in the floral department in grocery chain. Have survived 4 years of retail politics. Have proven myself at 200% of doing the department fast etc. but these tips willl help my bid for a manager position. Customers always expect floral design at grocery store prices with limited product. I have already used this method of greening and feeding and has saved me time as well as broken flowers.

    This is amazing very good teacher I’ve been taking notes from these videos and it’s so far helping a lot I’ve been helping out in the Floral Department at my job and no one had the time really to show me how to design all the flowers so I started up in my note book taking notes in case I need them for Mother’s Day and this does look a lot better then the ones at our store they don’t do the professional way and you can tell all the flowers just flop over the place lol. They also don’t look like they have been getting taken care of properly either. The real florist has been out sick and I miss her a lot hopfully she will come back so I can learn from her I get along with her so well. 💖💥

      Private florists like to bad mouth grocery stores because they cant compete with the prices allowed by nation wide distribution. Safeway has beautiful flower shops that are often the nicest shop in town. They employ master designers and offer full service. I love your method for grid the vase. I adopted it and it has made my life in the "grocery store" so much easier..

      I've worked for 2 different grocery florist, it really depends if the grocery store cares if you are good or not, the one I used to work for would hire semi good florist and would test them to see how the designed. The one I currently work for cares for that aswell plus every year they send the florist to train with a floral competitor and judge that shows us different techniques, and ways to actually make an arrangement, corsages, etc. Every year is new and different.

    I am a little confused, in previous videos I've learned not to put leaves in the water, as they will rot and introduce bacteria that'll kill your flowers faster. And yet a large amount of the fern leaves are in the water. Are ferns and their leaves different from the rose leaves, or other flower leaves, in that it's alright for them to be in the water?

    Mr Gaffney! I received a certificate in floral design at a community college in Sacramento. I have my first floral audition in LA on Monday, a second in LA on tuesday, i know if I mentioned the places you would definitely know who they were. It will be my first time auditioning in a shop that focuses on such large events. I've been watching this video even though I'm familiar with making a design like this, because I love your technique, and I know it's very likely it will be one of the arrangements I'm asked to make. Could you make a video on what you think the most common floral arrangements shops ask a designer to do when they come in for their audition? Thanks!

    Lesson !: Always use a sharp knife to cut the stems! It makes a better contact with the water and slides easely between the green. Scissors does narrow the cells.
    Avoid breaking the stems, specially from wooden stems. Use your knife always! Your flowes will last longer!

    YES! Waxflower! I love waxflower. In my opinion there are filler flowers and accent flowers. Waxflower is the later.
    Baby's Breath is pretty tucked in here and there, but I hate it when it is the only "filler". 😝

    I thought that was not done due to rotting greenery.
    Haven't had it an hour and feel like I need to fix it already.
