The Floral Practices
Three floral practices:
Each of the following practices are slightly different. One is a dramatic centerpiece, one more delicate and whimsical, and the last one is an approach inspired by a concept or idea.
Use them as both inspiration and guide. The more you work with flowers and plants the more effortless it becomes. Always come with an open mind and open heart.
In the process it's valuable to pause from time to time. Step back and observe. If using a vessel make sure to move it around. Ensure that you give each blossom its own space to move and breathe. Work in groups and layers, experiment, play, let your style be what it is.
