It was Mike's Mum's 70th Birthday in February 2011 and as part of her present I made her a huge basket arrangement - it was probably not much short of two foot long and just over a foot wide and it weighed a ton!! Here are a couple of pictures of that arrangement. The tulips in the arrangement were stunning - the most amazing pink I've seen in tulips ever, cerise carnations, pink bouvardia and lilies to come into flower as the tulips went over.
And here are a couple of pictures of an arrangement I made with some of the leftover flowers.
And then another arrangement I did near the start of last year (can't believe how far behind I am!!) which was much more experimental but worked really well. A simple linear design with lots of interest going in throughout the whole arrangement, midelino sticks extended the design beyond the flowers and created areas of space within the arrangement, the chrysanthemum anastasia lime were stunning and some wire and bling for good measure too. There are only 9 flowers in the arrangement as a whole and lots of reusable items which made it quite economical. I was pleased with the overall result and find this tall style of arrangement quite appealing and worked very well on my tall stand.
