  • I'll show you how to make a flower arrangement using spring flowers.
    You need just a few bunches of supermarket or garden flowers.
    This weeks interpretive design is inspired by daffodils and leeks, the emblems of Wales. The linear shape of the leeks gave me the idea to create a parallel style arrangement and with the addition of daffodils to add another texture, colour and a different shape, a beautiful floral design is started. Here in Wales, my home country we celebrate St David's Day on March 1st. Our national flower is the daffodil and we wear it with pride on our jackets, arrange them in vases or display them in our gardens to celebrate the patron saint of Wales.

    OUTLINE:
    This video tutorial explains in a step by step format how to create this fabulous arrangement, how to prepare your floral foam.
    I'll explain about how to select your flowers and how to choose colours that connect with your container.
    I'll teach you about the different types of daffodils, why I used willow in the arrangement to create height and the reasons why its important to cover your floral foam.
    The video will describe and show you how to create a Parallel arrangement (link below) and a front facing arrangement seen for one side.
    In this video, I'll be arranging with some vegetables to introduce some of Wales' national emblem, the Leek.
