Florist News

hi all hope you all well,i am first year at college since september,im having a few problems in floristy course,im so crap at assymentrcal and symentracal arrange ment,but found the funeral spray and table arrangement quite easy,do u think i should give up or keep going,think i dive in the deep end when i started,lost a baby this time last year,thought do floristy as i really want to do that but maybe i just wast ready,worst of all got exam tomorrow on assymentrcal arrangement,anyone got any tips lol,lisa

if you found the funeral arrangement ok imagine it standing up as opposed to sitting flat if you know what I mean

Ohh Lisa, you are not far from me. What college do you attend?

I have yet to take my 2nd year, but I can honestly say, I've learnt more in a few weeks in my job than I had a whole year in college.

Good luck with your exam

hi belinda i attend brockenhurst college,thanks for replying i feel better about it now,my tutor saids it takes time ,only been there 3 months

thanks snowdrop,never thought of it like that,good idea

I alway think if you have mastered the funeral spray then that gives you the basis for your arrangement your corsage even your shower style bouquet

thanks snowdrop we aint really done alot at college made the arrangement and buttonhole,table arrangementsand funeral spray,what colours do u think i should use thanks again

all one shade is good as you can't immediately see faults but I would go for contrasting colours as you can see where your faults are ie balance etc my favs are lemon white purple or pink lime purple but really colour is not that important as long as you get the balance right go with a colour you like as long as the compliment each other

Hi, am now on my final year of a BA (Hons) in Floristry Design. I have to admit my flower arranging in oasis skills are still a bit lacking on the traditional style arrangements, but it does come to you eventually!! I agree with Snowdrop though, contrasting colours will help you visualise the shape. I have found tho some colours for me are easier to work with than others. Although did find white and lime green quite easy to work with and keeps in with colour balance. Its all down to personal preference really.

DOn't worry too much, keep going am sure you will be fine!
