Step by Step Instructions
-
Soak the floral foam and condition the greenery overnight (or at least a couple of hours) before you start working with it.
-
Start by creating an outline using the conifer supplied, making sure to include pieces throughout the composition to achieve continuity.
-
Next, add the small leaf greenery (i.e. pistache, euc parvi) to give body to the design.
-
Place the variegated greenery at low levels in the arrangement to give recession and colour interest to the design.
-
Finally, use the eucalyptus to give highlights and added interest and texture to the design.
-
Using the papaver (poppy) heads as a focal interest, place as strategically as possible to finish the design.
-
Keep the design well watered as the foliage will require a lot of hydration, especially if positioned in a warm, domestic environment.
