VERTICAL DESIGN

Posted by Bizim Boncuklar at 11:02 AM

This design is my husband's favorite. He finds it really elegant. Vertical designs are best used on corners or small spaces where they can soften angles. They are suitable for everyday use and also for formal gatherings. They can be one-sided or all around but my design here is one-sided. For this design pick lots of tall flowers and greens to create the tall vertical outline. My focal point here is gerbera daisies. I also used roses, liatris, carnations, alstromeria and gladiolus. The greens are eucalyptus, myrtle, steele grass and aussie greens. Heather and misty were my fillers.

To make this design first secure pre-soaked foam in a tall vase with floral tape. Cut the stems of the tallest flowers or leaves to reach 1.5 to 2 times the height of the vase. Place the focal flowers vertically within the diameter of the vase. Fill in the empty areas as needed with filler flowers. Make sure all the flowers radiate from the center. If your design is one-sided fill the back nicely with greens and some filler flowers so the back looks nice too. And when you are done, just sit back and enjoy your design.
