A classic, formal floristry design for large environments: The base foundation (Part 1 of 4)

Today we have part 1 of a series on creating large traditional floral arrangements for events, venues, churches and large spaces. In part one I demonstrate how to lay down the base foundation frame for large traditional design.

In part two we look at incorporating fresh and artificial flowers for a spring/summer look:    • A classic, formal floristry design for lar...  
In part three I share how quick and easy it is to take this same base and create a late summer early autumn display:    • A classic, formal floristry design for lar...  
In part four we take the same base design and celebrate Christmas:    • A classic, formal floristry design for lar...  

I am very sorry that this has taken so long! This is the follow up I promised all those who submitted design questions on how to create large scale designs for churches, halls and large venues. Here is the link to the large red and white arrangement I did previously:    • Formal Church Arrangement Floristry Tutorial  

Many asked can artificial’s be used alongside fresh flowers/foliage in this type of designing, and the answer is YES. It’s the perfect solution for all you ladies and gentlemen who create the spectacular floral displays weekly at church.

When I was creating and selecting the flowers for my new range at www.prestigebotanicals.com I had you in mind. The flowers are realistic, sized to what nature produces & TBH the only thing missing is the fragrance.

You will need:
Large urn or vessel to hold and display flowers
Wet foam to fill cavity of container

From the range, I’m using the wonderful tall delphiniums, hydrangea, camellia topiary (the best filling flower for this type of design), holly and gum.
