Laura I actually like to see you doing flower arrangements in just normal speed, not speed up. It’s relaxing and have nice music in the background. You never bore me.
If you tap on her video you can change the playback speed by tapping the three small dots on the top right corner, then tap the payback speed , then you can change it to faster or slower .
I agree. I really enjoy not only seeing how the product comes together but learning from how Laura thinks through how the creation is made. For creatives, it's just something that happens. Sometimes it's hard to explain why you are doing what you are doing as sometimes it just "looks or feels right".
At 15:35 you had me laughing because you reminded me so much of Julia Child when she would have a mishap, she would just roll with it. I love how natural and genuine you are!
I was watching with rapt attention and thoroughly enjoying this THEN you dropped the ‘rogue lime’ banged your head on the table and I knew you were my kind of people - I couldn’t hit SUBSCRIBE fast enough! Gorgeous arrangement, wonderful presentation, authentic lovely you!
JavaAndJunket, you will love Laura's videos. Since you are a new subscriber, you might want to watch some of her other videos of the property and her gardens. If you love gardening, you'll be binge watching like I did last year when COVID hit.
You know - this right here (you crawling out from under the table and Aaron laughing) is what makes your videos so endearing to so many people. Your "realness"; your willingness to show you diving for a rolling lime and hitting your head on the table coming up; your "mistakes". We can relate. Or, at least I can relate and I appreciate that.
Never heard of "fluffing roses"! Also didn't realize gerbera daisies need be trimmed at least 2" up the stem and should be in water when cutting. Thanks for sharing your gardening expertise! Turned out so beautiful!!!!
Oh my Laura you had me laughing out loud. See I'm naturally a clumsy person and for you to leave your bloopers in made me feel normal. Even when Aaron filmed you coming out the sun room under the table that would be so me. So Thank-you both for the smile and great video today. I live in Houston Texas and we have a severe winter storm here that us Texans aren't use to so its been pretty stressful. So seriously Thank-you for being a rain of sunshine to me!! You've been my inspiration in my new adventures of gardening in the past year going on 2 now and I'm so ready for spring. God bless you and your family!
It’s just to remind you that there are FOUR seasons... hahaha Hang in there, it’ll be 100 degrees again before you know it! ☀️ (my fave place in the world is Big Bend)
Isn't that the truth! Than I will be asking when's the cooler weather coming back. Lol I've never been to big bend I will have to check it out. Thank-you for the encouragement and may you and your family be safe and blessed!!
I enjoyed the "slow version" of the video much better than when everything is sped up, especially with the flower arranging. Even in the beginning putting in the greens could have been in regular time for me. Beautiful arrangement.
Beautiful! I am a florist and just getting off a week of mostly red, white and pinks for Valentine's day...this bright yellow arrangement is so refreshing! I love it!💛 The tailored roses add such a nice mass to a design!
I never would have considered this from your perspective. I can only imagine how dull it must get working with the same colors over and over and over again, lol.
@Shelly, I myself am getting tired of the traditional red bouquets for Valentine’s Day so at my local fine foods store I had the florist help me create a beautiful bouquet of white fragrant flowers, white berries , light blue flowers, lime green flowers and foliage to brighten up the frigid temperatures and keep me patience for spring weather!
Shelly, I know what you mean ! I'm not a fan or red either, so I tried to use a lot of burgundy with various shades of pink. Also not a fan of Baby's Breath in arrangements which people seem to love in VD arrangements ! Really looking forward to this week as we march towards spring !
was contemplating on whether i should make a flower arrangement for my grandmother's birthday tomorrow and a notification for this video coincidentally popped up! I guess this is THE sign haha
A gardener and a teacher, so down to earth and keeping it real. I love that about you and Aaron. I enjoyed my garden so much more since I have been watching Garden Answer. It is my happy place and my escape. I have even been able to help others with their garden questions because of learning so much from you. I am so glad you persevered through your first year in filming and continued to a place to be such a help to so many of us.
Why would anyone not like this video? I don't get people sometimes. Very beautiful arrangement simplified for anyone to do and you have a very refreshing presentation style. Keep them coming!
Agreed! I think it's jealousy. Some people's actions sadden me, and more than ever these days unfortunately, but people giving a thumbs down on videos with sweet Benjamin and her new baby I'll never understand! I love how Laura is always positive, real and down to earth, and funny. She mentioned in one of her videos one time about when you have a million subscribers, you're going to get some hate along with it. She currently has 1.12 million subscribers now and a tiny speck of about 80ish haters is pretty darn great! I believe this world will be a better place if our actions show the proof of God's love.
Wouldn’t have thought to use something with such a wide opening as a vessel, but now after watching your video, you’ve inspired me to give it a try. Thanks
What a beautiful combination of flowers and spring color palette. “Rouge lime,” and the under the table crawl, made me laugh. You and Aaron gotta have a ton of goof moments for a bloopers video. We want it! Many blessings everyone!
I think she might just not remember to use them. There are plenty of turn tables heavy duty enough that if one she already has doesn't work, she could find others easily, if she wanted to. 🙂
Good morning Laura, I'm a. retired florist so I love watching you and your Mom design. Because we were a retail flower shop we used Oasis on most of our arrangements. We did use the tape grid if we were designing vase arrangements. When you are doing "kitchen arrangements" you can add all that water. But picture a driver with your arrangement in the back of his delivery vase making a sharp turn🤯 Your arrangement is so lovely and beautiful so nice lesson. As always, thanks for taking us along on your day👩🌾👍💕 Peggy Helbling's Garden What You've Got
Thank you for not fast forwarding. I would rather see these in real time when you do arrangements. I learn more in slow-mo 😂. Plus I love you left in the head bump and the exiting of the sun porch 😊 love it - real life.
'I'll do whatever it takes man...' 😂 best statement I have heard so far this year..👍. Yes I agree Laura you are the best and as beautiful as the lovely arrangements you make.
I never would have thought to "hand sculpt" a rose like you did with bending the outer petals and opening up the center. Really made a beautiful form. TY Laura :)
-43 below windchill in MN last weekend. All I wanted to do was sit by the fireplace and binge Laura videos. I saw some oldies, but goodies! So much fun to see the garden / yard transformations. Very inspirational!
Beautiful sunny arrangement, looks an old fashioned art print. I know you have a turntable but I know it can cause you to over think 🤔. You Laura have a gift and you share it with us. Thank you.
Beautiful Laura❣️ That looks like a vase full of SUNSHINE 🌞❣️ It’s kinda depressing when I take down my Christmas decor & an arrangement like this is perfect for adding something cheerful back into our home.
You have mentioned before, you can’t see the front of your arrangement. Have you tried putting a next to or just below the camera? I’m sure Aaron can make that work. I love seeing your interactions with your family and pets! You are so very real and vivacious! It sets you apart from other gardening sites. Thanks for not editing out bumping your head, so sweet. Also, I love hearing you refer to your daughter, Samantha Grace, by her first and middle name. Are you sure you’re not southern, Laura? You and the women in your life are all such steel magnolias!
Thank you for this slowed down tutorial! My husband was watching like a ninja behind me and suddenly said, “welp, I guess I shouldn’t have thrown away all those small pieces of chicken wire last week.” 😂 I really like the glossy green and shape of those euonymus branches. I am going to hint down that Manhattan for my yard. I just loved this one. It was a balanced meal of inspiration and learning. Cheers🥰
Beautiful! I don't know why but it is very relaxing to sit with my cup of coffee and watch your videos. I even decided to start some seeds for tomatoes this year. I don't even have a garden. Who have I become?
My husband gave me a small (five) bunch of red roses for Valentine's Day. He said he's a sucker for marketing. As soon as I finished watching this video, I got up and adjusted the petals just as Laura instructed. The transformation to the flowers was spectacular. It made them look double their size and more vibrant in hue than they already are. I also never noticed that the inside of a red rose petal has a beautiful sheen. Just stunning. I placed the flowers in a narrow crystal vase imbued with birds and red glass, which I have from my late mum. Babies breath was incorporated in the bunch - but I removed them and placed them in a separate small alabaster vase, with no water, to allow them to naturally dry. Gorgeous. I now have a new found perspective of roses. Thank you, Laura. Love from Sydney, Australia.
She has received a couple that I've seen in mail time videos. She once said she didn't use it because her vessel was oblong, not sure why she's not using it in this one.
My God, you are an incredible talent. What can't you do? You really need your own TV show or something. That arrangement is so, so stunning 😍 you're also an excellent teacher. 👏
Thank you for the slowed down version! I needed slower to understand. Always love the final results and always leave inspired. Putting my Instacart order of flowers in now 😁
The whole frozen country enjoyed this sunshiny video! My friend Leah is especially happy that you love the beautiful bowl she sent you! Thanks to Aaron for leaving in the bump on the head! We all needed that laugh---not AT you, Laura, but because it's so REAL and human! Makes us love you even more!
I think it’s great that you buy and use flowers from other sources . Your arrangement is beautiful , I’ve learned so much from your method of cutting each variety. Thanks Arron for funny exit 😂
As always, you taught this "old dog" some new tricks! Fluffing roses, 2" on the gereberas...didn't know! Thanks for the detailed version. Really helps. PS Loved your exit!! Glad Aaron kept that in.
So pretty!! Seeing the lonely lime on the table made me chuckle a little because our new kitten would take off with it in a heartbeat and play with it for hours until he decides to make a lime deposit under the stove. There are a LOT of things under the stove. I think he's part raccoon. Him and his cat brother are why I can never have plants in the house. Everything's a chew toy to them. Why can't I have chill cats like you guys have?
Good morning! Coffee with Laura, with a few smiles and chuckles. "Everything's fine here" lol! That would be me, I always have a bumble somewhere. Thanks for a very informative video. Love, love, love the arrangement.
The incident at 15:30 made me hit that subscribe button. You could have cut that and chose not to which I love! We just found out that our beautiful Mexican pottery has led and my roommate was devastated. She is Mexican and she had her relatives bring them over for her when they come to visit. It is her birthday next week and I want to create a gorgeous arrangement inside this soup pot. I know it's going to be stunning. Thank you so much! This was the first video I chose to click play on because of the type of vessel you were using was close to what I will be using. I need not look any further. You are going to be my floral arrangement tutor go too haha. Adding the limes was just the icing on the cake!
You bring such joy to all of us. Aaron adding that last part had me smiling ear to ear. Thanks guys. -6 feels like -26 in the Texas Panhandle. Needed this today.
Oh Laura, you’re the best! Your flower arrangement is so fresh and pretty. We’ve had over a week of round the clock sub-zero temperatures, so flowers may not even survive the cold going from the store to the car right now. You are very talented and a terrific teacher. Thanks for showing us each step and telling more about the blooms. I love how you didn’t edit out fetching the rollaway lime and bonking the table or crawling under the table to exit, because every bit of that is so relatable. I did laugh when you popped up and said, “everything’s fine”, and I admire how you didn’t skip a beat. I would have had a hard time not giggling about it but you quickly composed yourself. 🤗❤️
Love that you didn't cut out the lime roll chase🤣 And the outake at the end! More of that please, so genuinely funny! Laura you're definitely not "undignified" Oh, and the flowers are perfection❣
Thank You for keeping the camera on at the end, Aaron! I thought I was the only one who would get on my hands and knees to crawl out of a small space!!! I needed the chuckle!!!!
The arrangement is beautiful! But the highlight of this video.....Rogue lime... bang!... I’m alright! I had to laugh out loud. Glad you were ok, but that was adorable. Again I say, I look so forward to your videos! Love your channel!
Floral preservative should sit for 24 hours before you use it. I keep six 2 liter bottle full at all times so I have it ready to go. If you just put it in the water and do the arrangement the undissolved pieces can clog the stems. Flowers from the grocery store need to be rehydrated. They many have sat on a truck for a week in their box, in a back room, or water wasn't kept fresh once they made it to the floor. This is a good rule of thumb for all flowers and greens except for roses. Fill you sink and submerge as much as you can for 20 minutes. Take them out and gently shake them off. Cut the fresh stem once you put them in the arrangement. This will help the life of the flower greatly. Laura, was that Stock or Snapdragons you added? I've never seen you grow Gerbera Daisies. Do they not grow in your area ? Love - the lemons in the arrangement !
Believe that she is always with you when you just think of her. Feel her, embrace her, love her further. Don't stop ever. She is around you blessing and protecting you. I feel so much my sweet mom with me.
Good morning from Texas! That’s a beautiful arrangement... And if you’re looking for your snow...it’s down here. 🥴🥴🥴... you can have it back. 💁🏼♀️ 🤠🇺🇸
Girlfriend, what happened to that lazy susan someone sent you? If you use that then you can turn it to see the front when you need. I about spit my coffee when you bumped your head. 😆 The arrangement turned out beautiful and I really enjoyed seeing it in real time not sped up. You guys are the best.😊
Laura in Normal playback speed is refreshing! Thank you for taking time to make this arrangement. It gives beginners like me confidence to glam up store bought flowers.
What a great video! Lovely arrangement! I didn't know you can open roses like that! Will definitely be trying that method. Great ending with you crawling out from under the table. 😂👍💚
Its crazy how much just that little bit of baby's breath really set it off and made all the colors pop! It's so amazing to me that flowers like the snapdragons are already fully formed inside that little bud, & it will still fully bloom/open even after being cut!
Thanks for the cheery display. I love that you keep it real by including the wacking of your head on the tray after the rogue lime and then crawling out under the table. You had me laughing out loud!😆💗
This was so helpful Laura.. I have grown plenty of cut flowers in my garden (thanks to you and your channel 😊) and this is GORGEOUS!! This made so much sense , making the structure of how you want it to flow with the greenery first!! THANK YOU!! Now if OHIO ever decides to STOP snowing Spring may very well come!!😜
So cute!! Love how natural you are, (especially the head bump) and you just kept on going😂 I love your channel, can't believe you have been so active after just having your precious baby!
Thank you to you and Aaron for these videos. They really inspire me and provide a great version of entertainment when we are feeling low or need a moment of creativity. I don't know what it takes for these videos to happen, but I am so thankful that they do! You both do such a great job and I literally look forward to your videos!!
So gorgeous. I’m on the flower guild at church and watching you put these arrangements together is SO helpful! How could anyone give this video the “thumbs down?” Are they nuts?
Laura I actually like to see you doing flower arrangements in just normal speed, not speed up. It’s relaxing and have nice music in the background. You never bore me.
It would take too long. She may post the slow one on her Highlights channel and the speedier here.
@@mariafolch8067 haha I’d think it would be the opposite since ‘highlights’ implies shorter... 😜
If you tap on her video you can change the playback speed by tapping the three small dots on the top right corner, then tap the payback speed , then you can change it to faster or slower .
I agree. I really enjoy not only seeing how the product comes together but learning from how Laura thinks through how the creation is made. For creatives, it's just something that happens. Sometimes it's hard to explain why you are doing what you are doing as sometimes it just "looks or feels right".
@@eurekamarijka Oh well, that is how she has used it. 🤣🤣
Is it just me, the fact you left the head bump in.. it's just crazy charming.
That's exactly why I love watching her videos! She leaves in the REAL stuff ex: cat using the pot as a potty LOL
I burst out laughing...exactly something I would do...kudos for leaving it in, so much fun!🤪
@@valcourisland1776 l thought the same thing...lol.
Love how she pops up and says everything’s ok! Lol
@@valcourisland1776 Me too, needed that laugh this morning!
At 15:35 you had me laughing because you reminded me so much of Julia Child when she would have a mishap, she would just roll with it. I love how natural and genuine you are!
Reminded me of Julia Child also! Fun moment.
Do I remember she dropped a chicken on the floor once???
What a wonderful performer she is!
That bowl was stunning! One of the prettiest things anyone has sent to you.
I'm thinking it's a old soup tureen missing it's cover
I thought so too
I was watching with rapt attention and thoroughly enjoying this THEN you dropped the ‘rogue lime’ banged your head on the table and I knew you were my kind of people - I couldn’t hit SUBSCRIBE fast enough! Gorgeous arrangement, wonderful presentation, authentic lovely you!
LOL
It's not that those things happened; it's that they have the humility and sense of humor to leave them in the video. 👍
Welcome.
OH your done for ! you will here for hours
JavaAndJunket, you will love Laura's videos. Since you are a new subscriber, you might want to watch some of her other videos of the property and her gardens. If you love gardening, you'll be binge watching like I did last year when COVID hit.
There is so much snow outside, a bright flower arrangement would definitely cheer me up! Thank you for the inspiration!
No snow here but ice storm headed in our direction and I was just thinking how nice a fresh arrangement would be to help bring life into the rooms!
Agreed!!
You know - this right here (you crawling out from under the table and Aaron laughing) is what makes your videos so endearing to so many people. Your "realness"; your willingness to show you diving for a rolling lime and hitting your head on the table coming up; your "mistakes". We can relate. Or, at least I can relate and I appreciate that.
Never heard of "fluffing roses"! Also didn't realize gerbera daisies need be trimmed at least 2" up the stem and should be in water when cutting. Thanks for sharing your gardening expertise! Turned out so beautiful!!!!

Isn't that the truth! Than I will be asking when's the cooler weather coming back. Lol I've never been to big bend I will have to check it out. Thank-you for the encouragement and may you and your family be safe and blessed!!
You did that without a front view!!!
You never cease to amaze me, Laura. Love the arrangement. 🌻💕🌻💕
Or she turned it around every once in a while during the parts that were edited out.

Yes!! A bloopers video would be amazing!!
I want a bloopers video too!
You are so real in such a fake world. Please stay that way!! Love this channel!!
I think this is my favorite arrangement yet. Looks beautiful and I loved getting to see the process more slowly.
Such a pretty bowl too. ☺️
Invest in a turntable so you can spin it around without moving the camera and show us all sides. Plus you can see your progress as you go!
She has one but never seems to use it (or it's the wrong size, etc.).
She has at least two of the down under ones but doesn’t seam to use them
The vases she uses are too heavy, the turntable doesn’t move. If someone can recommend a heavy duty turntable, that’ll be more helpful.
I think she might just not remember to use them. There are plenty of turn tables heavy duty enough that if one she already has doesn't work, she could find others easily, if she wanted to. 🙂
She has two 😂
Oh, thank you for not cutting out the exit plan 🤣🤣🤣
I definitely enjoyed seeing more of a tutorial video to arrange flowers. Thank you for such fabulous content!
Great pictures at the end of the video!! You really captured the beauty of the flowers!! ⭐

I cracked when you said "everything's fine", while looking at Aaron! The funny side of Laura crawling under the table.
Thank you for not fast forwarding. I would rather see these in real time when you do arrangements. I learn more in slow-mo 😂. Plus I love you left in the head bump and the exiting of the sun porch 😊 love it - real life.
'I'll do whatever it takes man...' 😂 best statement I have heard so far this year..👍. Yes I agree Laura you are the best and as beautiful as the lovely arrangements you make.

Agree! It’s nice to have something contagious that’s GOOD! 😬😃
We are having 34 below zero temps and a snow storm here. It is so refreshing to hear you cut those luscious greens already. Spring will come!
Such a beautiful display of sunshine! Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with us 🌼🌿 God bless!
You guys should definitely put a bloopers reel together of funny moments for your highlights channel. Your long time subscribers would love it.
I LOVE IT when Ken or Aaron doesn’t fast-forward Laura arranging. It’s so relaxing, conversational, and we can see her thought process.

@@HappyCats17 Aww thank you so much. Very kind of you.
Laura, you need a "lazy susan" so you can easily see all sides of your arrangement while you build your beautiful arangements
She has received a couple that I've seen in mail time videos. She once said she didn't use it because her vessel was oblong, not sure why she's not using it in this one.
My God, you are an incredible talent. What can't you do? You really need your own TV show or something. That arrangement is so, so stunning 😍 you're also an excellent teacher. 👏
Loved this arrangement and the use of the limes. Even had a giggle when you bumped the table! Neat tip on opening up roses too.
Thank you for all the tips. Laura you are so generous.
Thank you for the slowed down version! I needed slower to understand. Always love the final results and always leave inspired. Putting my Instacart order of flowers in now 😁

We just found out that our beautiful Mexican pottery has led and my roommate was devastated. She is Mexican and she had her relatives bring them over for her when they come to visit. It is her birthday next week and I want to create a gorgeous arrangement inside this soup pot. I know it's going to be stunning. Thank you so much! This was the first video I chose to click play on because of the type of vessel you were using was close to what I will be using. I need not look any further. You are going to be my floral arrangement tutor go too haha. Adding the limes was just the icing on the cake!
You bring such joy to all of us. Aaron adding that last part had me smiling ear to ear. Thanks guys. -6 feels like -26 in the Texas Panhandle. Needed this today.
Oh Laura, you’re the best! Your flower arrangement is so fresh and pretty. We’ve had over a week of round the clock sub-zero temperatures, so flowers may not even survive the cold going from the store to the car right now. You are very talented and a terrific teacher. Thanks for showing us each step and telling more about the blooms. I love how you didn’t edit out fetching the rollaway lime and bonking the table or crawling under the table to exit, because every bit of that is so relatable. I did laugh when you popped up and said, “everything’s fine”, and I admire how you didn’t skip a beat. I would have had a hard time not giggling about it but you quickly composed yourself. 🤗❤️
You are so talented! The arrangement is beautiful!
Thank you for going slow for us beginners soaking this all in. That was awesome and turned out beautiful
It was very helpful to see how you arrange the flowers from start to finish. Thank you.
That looks amazing, thank you for the inspiration! We would love to see more behind the scenes 😅 and going live anytime soon?
Livestreaming on UA-cam is awful. The worst quality video you could produce.
Love that you didn't cut out the lime roll chase🤣
And the outake at the end! More of that please, so genuinely funny! Laura you're definitely not "undignified"
Oh, and the flowers are perfection❣
'meant to be a therapeutic thing' love the wry irony of that statement 😂 thanks Laura.
Thank You for keeping the camera on at the end, Aaron! I thought I was the only one who would get on my hands and knees to crawl out of a small space!!! I needed the chuckle!!!!
Thats a beautiful arrangement, great job! Love the bowl too. 😋
The arrangement is beautiful! But the highlight of this video.....Rogue lime... bang!... I’m alright! I had to laugh out loud. Glad you were ok, but that was adorable. Again I say, I look so forward to your videos! Love your channel!
Looks to me like a soup tureen that has lost its lid..good job, Laura!
I can't thank you enough for doing a much slower, step-by-step video of putting together an arrangement! Even loved seeing you bonk the table. 😄 💗💗💗
Hi 🙋♀️
Floral preservative should sit for 24 hours before you use it. I keep six 2 liter bottle full at all times so I have it ready to go. If you just put it in the water and do the arrangement the undissolved pieces can clog the stems. Flowers from the grocery store need to be rehydrated. They many have sat on a truck for a week in their box, in a back room, or water wasn't kept fresh once they made it to the floor. This is a good rule of thumb for all flowers and greens except for roses. Fill you sink and submerge as much as you can for 20 minutes. Take them out and gently shake them off. Cut the fresh stem once you put them in the arrangement. This will help the life of the flower greatly. Laura, was that Stock or Snapdragons you added? I've never seen you grow Gerbera Daisies. Do they not grow in your area ? Love - the lemons in the arrangement !
I wish my mother would still alive...
Love your mothers, people, and treasure and be grateful to them all the time!
Believe that she is always with you when you just think of her. Feel her, embrace her, love her further. Don't stop ever. She is around you blessing and protecting you. I feel so much my sweet mom with me.
When you said "It's supposed to be therapeutic." I thought you sounded like your mom. I wonder over the years how many times she told you that?
And the Vans are back. 💕
..... aah ..... Mellow Yellow, My Fave.
Good morning from Texas! That’s a beautiful arrangement... And if you’re looking for your snow...it’s down here. 🥴🥴🥴... you can have it back. 💁🏼♀️ 🤠🇺🇸
Girlfriend, what happened to that lazy susan someone sent you? If you use that then you can turn it to see the front when you need. I about spit my coffee when you bumped your head. 😆 The arrangement turned out beautiful and I really enjoyed seeing it in real time not sped up. You guys are the best.😊
Yep, I identified with that thump! 😬😁
Beautiful Laura! You cracked me up at the end of the video!
I love seeing the sun porch as a backdrop but didn't you guys just build a beautiful studio for this kind of thing? 😆
I was thinking the same thing, but the sun porch really makes for a beautiful/homey background.
Maybe they needed to be close to the kids?
Laura in Normal playback speed is refreshing! Thank you for taking time to make this arrangement. It gives beginners like me confidence to glam up store bought flowers.
I feel like I need to head to Trader Joe’s today for fresh flowers.
Great prices, good selection, and their stock is usually really fresh !
What a great video! Lovely arrangement! I didn't know you can open roses like that! Will definitely be trying that method. Great ending with you crawling out from under the table. 😂👍💚
Gorgeous! You need a mirror in front of you so you can see what you're doing.😄
Its crazy how much just that little bit of baby's breath really set it off and made all the colors pop! It's so amazing to me that flowers like the snapdragons are already fully formed inside that little bud, & it will still fully bloom/open even after being cut!
Am I the only one saying you were given a lazy Susan Use it to see what your doing 😜
Yes that's what I thought too
Thanks for the cheery display. I love that you keep it real by including the wacking of your head on the tray after the rogue lime and then crawling out under the table. You had me laughing out loud!😆💗
This was so helpful Laura.. I have grown plenty of cut flowers in my garden (thanks to you and your channel 😊) and this is GORGEOUS!! This made so much sense , making the structure of how you want it to flow with the greenery first!! THANK YOU!! Now if OHIO ever decides to STOP snowing Spring may very well come!!😜
Laura is the Bob Voss of flower arranging. And also, a compilation of the still life flower arrangements would be a charming book.
Sitting your vessel on a lazy Susan would allow you to spin your arrangement around! Just love you and all you do!
She has one someone sent, I think she just forgets.
So cute!! Love how natural you are, (especially the head bump) and you just kept on going😂 I love your channel, can't believe you have been so active after just having your precious baby!
Thank you to you and Aaron for these videos. They really inspire me and provide a great version of entertainment when we are feeling low or need a moment of creativity. I don't know what it takes for these videos to happen, but I am so thankful that they do! You both do such a great job and I literally look forward to your videos!!
Your displays always look beautiful. One day I may be as good ... if I practise. ❤❤
Appreciate that you didn't speed up too much. I enjoy seeing the details. It is lovely and the color scheme is so cheerful.
So gorgeous. I’m on the flower guild at church and watching you put these arrangements together is SO helpful! How could anyone give this video the “thumbs down?” Are they nuts?
hi laura am a florist and have to say that arrangement is stunning love it and the vessel is stunning love your channel x
