Flowers required:
• 2 bunches roses
(2 complimentary colours)
• 2 bunches button
chrysanthemums
Other items:
• 1 block oasis
• 1 wooden box
• Coco leaves
• Midelino sticks
Arrangement:
Soak oasis for at least an hour in water.
In the meantime, remove leaves from flowers. Once oasis is soaked, place it securely into the box diagonally.
Start by placing any one colour of roses in your desired line. We have done a “C” shape with the pink roses. Be sure to place the roses at the back longer than those in the front.
Fill the chrysanthemums on either side of the roses. However, keep them shorter than the roses and place them close to each other in varying heights to give depth to your design.
Keep the chrysanthemums compact so that the oasis isn’t showing. Place the second colour of roses in a group on the other side, again, at different heights to cover the oasis that is showing.
To complete your design, put the Midelino sticks or any coloured bendable sticks from one side coming around and on top of the flowers making loops. This brings interest and depth to your design. Be sure to cut flowers at an angle.
