Florist News

HAVEN'T POSTED FOR A WHILE, PARTNER HAD VIRUS, MY 6 YR OLD GOT THE VIRUS AND I EVENTUALLY GOT THE VIRUS!!!!

ANYWAY, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY FOR THE OTHER STUDENTS OUT THERE - WHAT DO YOU PREFER FUNERAL WORK OR WEDDING WORK?

I LIKE THE FUNERAL WORK, BUT AT COLLEGE PRESENTLY DOING C&G LEVEL 2 IN ADDITIONAL HAVE BEEN DOING QUITE A BIT OF WEDDING WORK USING FRESH AND SILK FLOWERS. i HAVE BEEN PRACTISING THE BRIDAL SHOWER BQ'S AT HOME AND ADDING ACCESSORIES ETC.

MY PREVIOUS C&G TUTOR PREFERRED FUNERAL WORK - SO WE DID A LOT OF DOUBLE ENDERS, WREATHS ETC AND I THEN I INTURN, AS CONFIDENCE GREW PREFERRED THIS.

I THINK THAT I AM SLOWLY STARTING TO GET TO GRIPS WITH THE WEDDING STUFF - STILL ALONG WAY TO GO (EASIER WITH SILKS THEN FRESH) - BUT CONFIDENCE SLOWLY GROWING.

SO WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER AND WHAT ARE YOUR STYLES, MODERN, TRAD, EXOTIC, CONTEMP

I think I prefer funeral work, the smile on a bereaved persons face when they see your flowers out weighs the smile of brides, not by much, but I definitely get more of a sense of achievement.

hi we havent dne wedding work at college yet, but cant wait 2 do it, we just finished our funeral section which i really enjoyed. now were on 2 our handties i cant wait but i think i will get quite frustrated if i cant get hang of it.

Wedding work, no contest. I love using pretty extras and it's not really suitable for sympathy designs

FOR PRACTISE AT HOME THIS WEEKEND I MADE A BRIDAL SHOWER BOUQUET WITH SILK FLOWERS, JUST TO HELP ME WITH THE OVERALL BALANCE, POPORTION AND DESIGN OF THE BRIDAL BOUQUETS. AS WITH THE FRESH FLOWERS AND MY HEAVY HANDEDNESS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING LEFT AT THE END - PETALS AND TEARS EVERYWHERE.

I TOOK IT INTO COLLEGE YESTERDAY AND MY TUTOR WAS IMPRESSED, HOWEVER, THE IVY TRAIL COULD HAVE BEEN AN INCH OR 2 LONGER (BLOODY ONE THIRDS TO TWO THIRDS!!!!).

YESTERDAY WE CREATED A TEXTURED FUNERAL CROSS USING CORNUS WOOD (DOG WOOD RED) AND 9 CALLA'S, WITH IVY, AND DECORATIVES. I USED A LOT OF GOLD AND RED ALUMINIUM WIRES AND IVY FLOWERS. QUITE RUSTIC WITH A MODERN TWIST.

THIS I ENJOYED - NO PROB'S - WEDDING WORK-BREAK OUT IN A SWEAT!!!!

MY TUTOR GAVE ME FRSH FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE TO PRACTICE FRESH BRIDAL BOUQUET - READY FOR MY EXAM AFTER CHRISTMAS - WILL TRY AND PRACTISE TONIGHT - CAN'T WAIT.

STILL LOVE FUNERAL WORK AND VERY IMPRESSED WITH TREEN'S WORK - VERY INSPIRATIONAL.

I JUST THINK THAT I AM TOO HEAVY HANDED FOR WEDDING WORK - THANKS FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND REPLIES!

My Nerves Are Shot Just Thinking About It:d
