These roses are hydroponically grown in Southern California. I dressed up the vase a bit with a bling ribbon and added Lomey pins to the rose heads to add more sparkle. Very simple yet very elegant. This is a great arrangement for a centerpiece or to bring to a dinner party.
This second arrangement was for a friends birthday. Its the same idea as the dozen roses, but its ten sunflowers (the single purple rose was to signify that the arrangement was from my friends mom). The fun curly-cues are fern curls. The sunflowers are locally grown and they were absolutely beautiful! This arrangement gives off a happy, fun feel that I really loved.
Here are the steps for arranging your very own vase:
1: Start with 5 pieces of leather fern. Make sure the stems are cleaned of any debris. Take the first leather fern and lace a second through the bottom leaf. Repeat with the rest of the ferns and cut them so the bottom leaves are touching the rim of the container.
2: Place the first flower in the center of the ferns. It won't stay put until you add more flowers, so just keep adjusting it as you go. Make sure this is the tallest flower in the arrangement.
3: Take 3 more flowers and create a triangle around the center. Cut these a little shorter than the first.
4: Take 4 flowers and place them around the triangle. These don't have to be cut shorter, unless you want to create more depth.
5: Take the last 4 flowers and place them on the outer edge. Make sure these are cut the shortest in the whole arrangement.
6: The last step is to add filler like statice, wax flower, babies breath or any other filler you can find.
And there you have your very own arrangement! If you take it on, send me pictures at thesassydiva@sassydivadesigns.com
Have fun!
