Sharon I’m in the US and I have been binging on your videos! I worked in a shop and now I design weddings and events from my home studio. I’m self thought until I discovered you. I have taken many classes but I’ve learned so much more from you. You are an amazing teacher! I love learning the reasons why we do things. I could go on forever but I just want to thank you.
What a beautiful combination of flowers and foliage. Your instructions from container to mechanics; flower selection to arrangement all are so interesting. Thank you.
I’m a trained florist who hasn’t done anything beyond a table centre for my own house in over two years. I am doing quite a big wedding for a friend on Saturday and I can’t lie - I’m nervous. This video was exactly what I needed. A calm, clear, detailed run through of how to make a simple beautiful table centre. It has boosted my confidence and convinced me I’ve ordered the right flowers! Sometimes it’s just a reminder you need. Thank you.
You are a great teacher, well articulated, excellent explanation. I am having a posy bowl assessment on Monday. You helped me enormously. Kind Regards, from Sydney
Oh dear my house is going to rack and ruin as I spend most of my time watching your fantastic videos. Can I ask if there is any reason why you secure the oasis in with spare foam and tape rather than use a plastic frog?
I'm not a great lover of floral frogs because they don't always stay fixed to the bottom of the container. If the container is cold, wet or a little dusty the oasis fix doesn't adhere properly. Then the single block of foam moves around in the container which I don't like. The smaller pieces of foam stop the foam wobbling around and hold it secure when you are working. Does that help and make sense?
Is there a name for the color harmony you are using? I'm a beginner trying to learn my color theory. It seems you're using the three secondary colors: orange, green, and violet. Would that be triadic color harmony? At first I thought the orange gerberas looked out of place, but they ended up looking very nice.
Hi Dianne. The Gerbera's is actually a dark pink, I think the lighting and the affect of the other colours is making it look an orangy brown. So technically, it's not really following a proper colour harmony, it was just something I thought worked well together.

Thank you David, what a lovely comment. I'm sure you will do a brilliant job, it's just like riding a bike. You don't forget! Good luck and enjoy
I like how you explained what lengths to cut the foliage to create your arrangement. Thank you
Thanks Maureen
Another great video and it is helpful when you refer to elements and principles of design when making the arrangement.
Thanks Alison - hopefully it makes sense
You are a fabulous tutor, I have learnt so much from your tutorials, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Sarah - hopefully now the wedding season is over, I can get back to making a new set of videos
Another excellent tutorial, thank you for sharing.
Glad you are enjoying
