I am making your stand up bouquets and will have them all lined up on a table. They are an absolute hit. I really think pre making them the day before will pretty much cover me for custom bouquets. Once when o made one for a girl then did the final cut, tapped and set it upright on the table she said, wow! I feel like I'm on tv! Lol. Your lessons have given me such recognition. I can't wait to see people's expressions when they see a line of stand up bouquets!

[@alecerose8283]

Thank you so much Michael! I’ve always dreamed of working in a florist shop and I came onto KZbin to dip my toes into it to see if it’s really something I want to do and you’ve completely made me feel inspired and confident and I’m not as intimidated as I was. All of your videos are in my KZbin floral arrangement playlist. Also my parents live in Wisconsin! Gorgeous there.

[@penelopegittings8993]

I love the way you handle florals, makes me realise I have been far too timid in my approach!!!

[@marianormaaceves]

thank you

[@jennyfloralartmck4963]

Great Design！Love it!I love Kales

[@1cairn2labs]

love, Love, LOVE your instructional videos. I'm having the hardest time with rose bouquets - the pull through, twist, turn - I've watched that darn video dozens of times and my bouquets still look dreadful. Can you do another version and call it Rose Bouquets for Dummies? Then I might get it. Additionally, you don't seem to cover water(ing) with oasis/foam arrangements. Can you? Thanks!

[@ingridmahabir7144]

Hi love your flower arrangements. Out of this world. I have learned a lot from classes. Love the humor you put into your classes. You make it look so easy. I am maggie from trinidad and tobago west indies.

Thank you..Michael🌼🌼🌷

[@mandyc8824]

Do you need to cover all the foam at the bottom that shows? Beautiful work

[@diannet4750]

Great teacher! So beautiful. Would you recommend using this green foam for oddly shaped vases like a ceramic pitcher? Could you please make some videos with non traditional “vases?” Also, do you have classes in Hawai’i? mahalo!

[@tulipo6907]

Not in hawaii yet...all depends on tge vase...pitchers? Sometimes foam...or not...depends on finished design your going to create....

Forsythia was named after its breeder, a Mr Forsythe-Johnson, his grandson was the UK entertainer Bruce Forsythe, who died yesterday.

[@jacycole4004]

I love your work. Thank you for sharing your talent!! I am off to go purchase your books.

[@debbie-suefelton1021]

I have been watching and enjoying many of your videos so thank you! I haven't seen any water be put in any of your foam filled containers/vessels. Do you hydrate the flowers?

[@tulipo6907]

After the designs are made the reservoir is filled with water .thx

[@hollyreville7586]

Would you post some advice and lessons for mass production on Valentines Day? It's my first year as a floral manager/florist and will need to make 200 arrangements by myself prior to Valentine's day and wrap bouquets on site quickly on Valentine's day.

[@tulipo6907]

Assembly line. Have your formulas down. 10 at a time

[@hollyreville7586]

@@tulipo6907 forever grateful to you!

[@hollyreville7586]

Last year we sold 200 dozen rose arrangents 300 mixed bouquets ( premade) 100 custom bouquets I love the assembly line idea will definitely do that the 3 days prior to the 14th

[@alfiedeaza1790]

Hi, I love your work!. is your school in Santa Barbara, CA ,too?

[@tulipo6907]

Hi thx. No la ....and sf

[@kingsupremepat]

Crazy question but do you wet your foam before to place it in the vase or after?

[@tulipo6907]

Usually before.

[@fbtd2456]

How can you run a school for flower design and then offer DIY flower bouquet. What is the benefit?

[@tulipo6907]

Steve Castagner iWe teach design. diy is part of the American design world. one should accept it. As I teach in class there's the diy and the person who works as a designer There has always been diy. They come to our schools they buy your flowers. Why would you not?? it makes complete sense if you are working in the retail world. Statistically DIY people. buy more flowers support growers and purchase more retail over a span than non ..they are flower users..hope that clarifies. Attend a free class at flower school 101

[@avrellfrancis6785]

If i join your flower class how long does the class last for how much weeks/month.

I did his six or five day course (I can’t remember) in 2017 and it was great. Other did a three day course. Yes, it was a little too fast at times but overall a good fundamentals course. My apartment looked like someone died because I had completed so many arrangements. I had so many flowers I made my neighbor a beautiful two dozen roses arrangement for his girlfriend at about 8 PM.
