Now, I'm going to show you how to construct your artificial flower arrangement. The trick
is to start with the largest flowers first. So, we're going to get these peonies, and
as you can see, their a little bit too tall for this particular container, so that's where
we're going to get our wire cutters and we're going to start cutting them to size. A lot
of this is subjective and you really just cut it to the size that you think works best
for your eye. I'm thinking this needs to be cut in about a half. There we go. I'm going
to put the first one, right in the middle. What you need to remember when you're making
these flower arrangements is people will be looking at them, from different points of
view, so you don't want all the flowers looking forward or in one direction. You want to make
it as symmetrical and even as possible. So, when we got for our next flower, which we'll
need to cut as well.
We'll put it over to the side. We'll follow up with the next one, and put it on the other
side. We'll put one in the
front and one in the back. I find that an odd number looks more appealing, than an even
number so we have five flowers here.
Now, as you can see, our first round of flowers, the largest, the peonies, are all placed in
a very architectural symmetrical way.
