First of all, if this is an instructional video, they never showed the viewer the step by step instructions, and the flowers used; after a few greens, the vase was done in the next scene. And I agree with nanaswreaths, you don’t use scissors– learn to master your knife.

It would be nice to mention the folwers they used such as Gerbera Daisies, Roses, Seeded Eucalyptus, Bear Grass etc…..Designing with Fresh flowers is much different than silk…..

scissors will pinch your stems thus lessening the capability to absorb water….the clean sut with a foral knife is better….working with a real sharp knife takes practice, but it is the best way to go

Is it true that Obama has chrysanthemums in his White House garden? And that Harrison Ford grew up in the land of lilies? All these famous people, wow!

one thing about the height, if it is tall you need more flowers to keep it from looking scimpy in general.

I don’t know much about flowers. How much should you expect to pay for a arrangement like that?

You are very right. The professionals point the knife towards them. But until you’ve mastered the technique, it’s much safer to point it away — or better yet, use a scissors. I found it very hard to perfect the knife technique, and was told using a sharp scissors works just as well. -Meghan

I agree with your personal taste when it comes to the choice of colors..
But, the good flower decorators often point the knife towards themself since this gives the best cut when it`s comes to flowers. And besides, knife is the best tool to use because it`s sharper then a scissor and if you want your bouquet to last it`s important to maintain the flowers “water-straw” by being careful not to “crush” it…

Yes, pointing the knife away from you is very important. Thanks so much for the reminder. -Meghan

B- ….. Any colours will work? NO!
vomit in a vase.
Recepticle is important!
Also never use a knife towards yourself, always away from you.
Knives and flowers dont go together anyway.
