Floral Media - Many Small Arrangements - Whole Foods Market Flower Chef

On this the first 'Floral Media' of 2017 - I'm featuring Sarah von Pollaro making small arrangements using one bunch of flowers and one of foliage from Whole Foods supermarket.



Sarah makes eight arrangements using low clear glass tumbler vases. The flowers are all chrysanthemums but three very different ones. 

She lines the inside of the vase with large green leaves to hide the stems. She then proceeds to cut down each flower stem creating shorter sections just the right size for the vases. 

Starting with the green gardenia foliage and then adding a mix of the three chrysanthemum flowers. Being so different they automatically add texture, colour contrast and variety.

I hope you enjoyed this video and maybe it will give you some inspiration for trying some new flower arrangements for your table settings.

Thank you for visiting 'Of Spring and Summer - I will be back later in the week.

Florets - Floral Quote - # 111 - by Carly Cylinder

"If I had to give just one piece of advice, it would be this: Change the water in the vase at least every couple days. And if not every couple days, then at least once during the lifetime of the arrangement. Flowers thrive on fresh water. To refresh the water in a small-to-medium arrangement, place the vase under the faucet in your kitchen sink and run the water so that it flushes out the old water. Flushing out your vase under the faucet refreshes the water while keeping your arrangement intact. For taller vases, carefully tilt the arrangement to pour out the old water, and refresh with new water."
