Bud vases are a versatile way to add subtle detail to any space.
It always amazes me that there are so many types of flowers. There are different shapes, sizes, colours, scents and lifespans but those characteristics come together to form a unique arrangement. Types of flowers that one wouldn't think to place next to another actually look better because of their distinct traits. Yet in the end, they're all still flowers.
This colourfully rich and bold arrangement was put together by my friend, Jenn, over at Wild North Flowers, whose work is always top notch. She even teaches workshops on how to make these yourself which I shared recently.
These can also be used for wedding bouquets or centerpieces for brides who want a colourful and unique arrangement.
I attended a fun workshop taught by my talented friend and florist Jenn from Wild North Flowers where we learned about different types of flowers and techniques behind putting together an arrangement. The flowers are sourced locally from Ontario growers so each stem stays fresh longer and the colours are much brighter and more vibrant. I've seen how these flowers still look great after a week or more.
There are a few types of workshops and each will have access to a collection of seasonal flowers and greens. They're great for groups (friends, family, coworkers), events (birthdays, bridal showers, parties) or for personal interest. No experience needed :)
You'll learn the fundamentals, thought process, tools, techniques and tips on how to care for the flowers. At the end, you get to take your creation home or have it delivered the next day at no extra charge (whether it's to your home, office or someone special).
I've never put together flowers that weren't from a grocery store before so I had no idea where to start but Jenn walked the class through the steps and slowly we saw our work come together. There is so much more to it than sticking flowers in a vase. You have to prepare the vase first (who knew?) and consider things like the types of flowers you want to use, the colours, the importance of greens (aka everything that's not a flower), the height of each stem, etc.
One very important tip: Change the water every day!
So check out the upcoming workshops. Winter around here is dreary and drab so flowers really do liven up your place. Now without further adieu, I'd like to present my arrangement:
You'll see that I chose the biggest flowers and some are still blooming. I'll have to show an update in a couple of days to see what it looks like fully grown.
