Colorful Pedestal Flower Arrangement
 |
This is a pedestal arrangement, which is approximately 2 metres tall. The arrangement is made in a plastic bowl, with wet floral foam for the mechanics. The bowl sits on a gold plinth. On top of the foam, a tall gold wicker cone has been secured to the foam with mossing pins. The arrangement has been made in and around the cone, and is a mixture of fresh foliage and artificial flowers. The foliage used is all from the garden, and includes Fatsia japonica, Melianthus major, Hedera ‘Curly Locks’ and Pittosporum tenuifolium. The Hedera has been allowed to trail, and has also been wired to the cone, to look as if it is climbing. Artificial bamboo has been arranged in arcs either side of the cone, and red and yellow lilies form the focal point Greeny-yellow orchids have been grouped on the left hand side, and are also arranged inside the cone. |
Red roses have been grouped on the right hand side, and three gold wicker spheres have been added to give additional interest, and to pick up the gold used elsewhere.
A group of deep red hydrangea on the left completes the design.
