Wispy Ornamental Grass Design
Step by Step Guide
-
Condition and prepare the grasses before you start the arrangement
-
First, create one of the elements to be added to the arrangement at the end. Using the grass, pierce a hole and slide the hypericum berries onto grass. Repeat the process for roughly 10 to 20 stems to be added later
-
Create a hand-tie with the Eremurus in your hand creating a spiral effect
-
Add a hand full of steel grass or beargrass into the centre of the eremurus
-
Next, add a collar of the setaria grass around the Eremurus
-
Next, using the same principle add the panicum fountain grass to create a collar
-
Integrate the Briza and steel grass with hypericum berries for further texture and character
-
Secure the tying point with twine and raffia. Cut the stems and position into a vase of water ready for placement in a lobby, restaurant or corporate environment.
