Florist News

I've just uploaded some pictures and would love to hear your comments.

Hi lavender, had a look at your pics and think in general they are quite good but would like to make a few suggestions that may help you, dont want to offend you in any way so let me know if you want to hear them

sure, what are your comments??

The following is only my personal opinion and I hope that you think it is more helpful than critical because that is how it is intended:
Candle Arr. - I feel you needed more flowers round the bottom, you have put september there but putting more spray carnations or other coloured flowers would have made it fuller
Pomander - I dont like pomanders in general and personally avoid them like the plague but you've achieved a nice round shape and thats what pomanders are all about really
Buttonhole - Theres nothing wrong with your buttonhole and your wiring and taping looks neat and thin, I would personally have looped some bearsgrass at the front or over the rose to make it a bit more interesting and followed through with ends of the grass at the back
Front facing Arr. - Again its the bottom of this arrangement that I feel needs more flowers. If you had followed the lines of foliage more at the bottom with your flowers it would have made it less "fan shaped" and more balanced.
White rose Arr. - Dont know whether this is an arrangement or a handtied but either way it looks nice

Hope you are not offended by anything I have said, I like people to tell me what they think of my work because I think that is how you learn (and im thick skinned anyway), and trying out different techniques and methods can only be a good thing, I think. Hope you feel the same.....

Just had a look at your pictures.
Love the pomander, nicely balanced and not heavy looking.
Also like the posy, lovely colours
Candle arrangement looks quite sparse, especially round the base. I would have put a few larger heads in as well.
The table arrangement looks to be a flat backed, but I would have taken the flowers out more at the sides, instead of them all being centred. The foliage has taken it over.
No way critisising you, just what I would have done extra.
All in all very good.
Look forward to seeing more of your photos

Just had a look at your pictures.I too believe you have a good eye,,I believe that if you add just a little more to the flowers like the other 2 post talked about you will find it very helpful.. Also for me this helps a lot. I elevate my work more to a eye level and use a turn table to spin my work.. Makes a world of different s on designs. your colors blends well and over all I say looks nice..
Hope this helps.. I love this board!!
