JULY PEDESTAL WORKSHOP VICKI TUFFEN

Thursday 28th July 2016

DECIDE ON YOUR COLOUR SCHEME AND CHOOSE FOLIAGE AND FLOWERS TO SUIT THE SIZE OF THE CONTAINER 

  •  A quantity of Straight foliage to form the shape i.e Cornus Phormium; Soft Ruscus etc 
  • Foliage of varying texture and size e.g. Cypressus; Ivy; Skimma etc.
  • Some Larger Leaves (5-7 in quantity) eg. Fatsia Large Ivy etc
  • Filler flowers (Garden Flowers are ok)  as this about the construction not to produce an Exhibit
  • Seven large flowers to form a focal point (i.e Large Gerbera Roses ) 


Remember a pedestal is no different than a triangular table arrangement just larger so please have a go or just do a smallar version 

Looking forward to Seeing you all and having a flowery fun time!!
