6. The result


This is the result of the asymmetrical bride´s bouquet. A well done pice of work. The students is supposed to document their task. They take pictures and do the notes for “positives” and “negatives”, if they could do anything better and what to think about next time doing a similar task.

  2. Hi Jenny! I think so as well. It is the first time for the student to do this kind of bouquet so this piece of work is well done. See ya!

  3. This is wonderful work. I particularly like the drooping purple flowers - I am not sure what these are.
    I am sure the student was very pleased with her work - and you would be too. Thanks for sharing these great photos

  4. Hello Annette!
    The pretty purple flower are called Clematis (latin) or traveller´s joy. In Sweden many people have this flower in different colors and shapes in their garden.

  5. I love the bouquet! It's so nice that it is asymmetrical. How can the roses hang down like that? Wont the stem break easily?

  6. Linda. The technique is floral foam. The foam contains a lot of water. The student put the roser directly in to the foam so the steam dont need to bend and break.

  8. Interesting. There is no risk of the flower falling out of the bouquet, since it is hanging down? Do you secure the flower in some way?

  9. The tallest flowers can be secure during a "fork". You can do than in the end of the steam and secure the wire on the handle. You use a special floral wire. But the floral foam are quite stong and you don´t need to secure every flower.

  10. Ok, thank you for explaining. Floristry is a new world to me. It seems very creative and inspiring.

  11. It is! But I think that many students think that it is a lot of "roles" to follow in the beginning. But I mean that you have to "know the role before you can break it."

  12. When I was in school I had a sewing teacher that said almost the same thing: "You can't cheat until you know the rules". :)
