How to Use a Hydrangea Bloom as Your Mechanic in Floral Design | Episode 39 of Blossoms and Bourbon

We spend a lot of time talking about mechanics in floral design and rightfully so! It is the foundation of the design. But here’s how you can use one of the flowers in the design as the mechanic device for the overall design. A hydrangea is the perfect bloom for this because of its lacy structure. The flower grows in a sort of grid! See how to use it to best advantage in this episode. And, because we’re back with our friends at Brady’s Distillery, you’ll get to meet one of the owners, hear about how they got their start and find out more about the process that leads up to their very delicious products! Cheers, friend!

I vote for ALLLL button zinnias! They're like flower polka dots. It's pretty amazing how those hydrangeas hold everything in place. Cheers to you, Mark!

Oooo, the name of that rose, please. The color theme is just gorgeous. Thank you in advance.

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

I so sorry to tell you that I don’t know! They came in as part of a grower’s assortment box, and I unwrapped them without reading or saving the wrapper! We get the assortment every week here at the shop, so I can keep a watch out for them again! Thanks for watching!
