[@LinaBooC-tg8ou]

Looks great like something from an old French mansion. Very elegant!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you - the pillow is great for designs like this 😀

[@linuslinus1024]

Gorgeous!! So many lovely flowers and so elegant. The green Amaranthus is wonderful.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! I really like the floral pillow - a great re-useable mechanic 😀

[@Juliamccarthy-w3f]

It is both relaxing and lovely to watch "floral sculpture" get built before my eyes! Fabulous and reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands---wow!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊 🌼

[@aliceheidecker1853]

You are such an artist! I love this!

[@brendaeves3236]

This is my all time favourite style of arrangements, lots of foliage and flowers, all interesting and together - Wow! Thank you for the pillow tutorial. I’m now off to order some to have fun with . Watching such natural beauty being brought to life is a tonic! 😁 thanks you so much, informative, educational and fun as always

[@FlowerJoos]

Brenda Eves thank you! Yes, those pillows are great, and can be used again and again and again 😀

16:20 Friday 12 March 2021 Hello, John! This design reminds me of some Flemish painting! I am loving the vessel you chose. I must check your leads for containers. Photography is lovely, Janos. Thank you both for doing this work! Love & respect from Iowa. Karen

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! Yes, it’s good to have a range of containers - I really like an urn - it’s a very classic shape . Take care for now 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@aliceheidecker1853]

This is really gorgeous!

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you 😊

[@aliceheidecker1853]

I love this! My favorite ever! So pretty! Very creative! You are really the BEST!

Thank you! 😀🙋🏼‍♂️🌼

[@bethanwilliams3084]

This is so lovely, what a wonderful thing to watch on a Sunday morning

[@FlowerJoos]

Bethan Williams thank you!

[@libra951]

A nice variety of flowers and foliage, also the colours are perfect for a fall arrangement. To me the floral pillow damages stems lesser then the chicken wire. Can't wait to see the next video ☺♎

[@FlowerJoos]

Libra that’s a good point - less damage to stems

[@JaW247]

A lovely design which showcased the merits of the pillow well. It looks easier to handle and maintain than chicken wire fashioned into a similar shape. I’m looking forward to seeing how the egg works. 😀

[@MJ-tx8jz]

Love it and the fact that its environmentally friendly!

[@peggybernett9545]

Lovely, as always! I’ve seen you add the “waterfall” of plumosa as a final touch in another video of yours. And using the pillow in place of oasis will add longevity to the arrangement! 🌹👍

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! Yes - I like a touch of something to overlay as a contrast 😀 And the pillow is great for these designs 🌼🙋🏼‍♂️

[@juliespeer2364]

thank you John, it looks really easy to use and the arrangement was fab! Again, enjoyed watching you work with the foliage and flowers, thanks

[@sharone.langley2923]

So relaxing and enjoyable to watch you design. Thank you for sharing with me.

[@FlowerJoos]

Sharon E. Langley thank you! That’s a lovely comment 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

I like this style very much. Thank you for sharing.

[@rogerodesignevents]

You’re the best!!

[@hughferguson4007]

I've used chicken wire for vase arrangements (nothing like your masterpiece, i might add!) and have cut the fingers off myself!!! This will be great to try...minus the "blood stained water 😉 I still have lots of blooms in my garden that would look great in this. Can't wait to try it out! Fabulous creation as usual, John.

[@FlowerJoos]

Margaret Ferguson thank you! Yes, blood stained water isn’t good!

[@tammiehasty1418]

wow this is so beautiful!!

[@FlowerJoos]

Tammie Hasty thank you!

Judith Montesdeoca zerpa thank you 💐🌝🌻

[@marcvs66]

Love the natural style of your arrangements. I'm from Holland so I'm intrigued what you meant with Dutch style / heavy at the back. From autumn until spring I have a big vase on a garden table with flowers that just went over the top. Inside the house they would have lasted maybe another three days. Outside they will three weeks. So the arrangement changes every week. I take some flower out and add some leftovers from inside the house. Your piece reminded me of that but I don't use that expensive flowers. Unfortunately can't afford that every week. :)

[@FlowerJoos]

Marc de Groot I think I used the term Dutch style quite loosely - so adding larger headed flowers higher up - more than we would normally. I love the idea of flower arrangements outside - what a great idea and they last longer. Thanks for commenting and watching 😀

[@lenawallin678]

Nice..👍..

[@liubovzhukova9600]

Уже на второй минуте было очень красиво!😊❤

[@FlowerJoos]

спасибо 😊 🌼

Lindo !!!! 😍😘🌹

[@debtansey89]

This reminds me of chicken wire, that florists once used prior to the invention of floral foam.

[@dianacraig8532]

Hi John -- Hello from an island off the west coast of Canada - near Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia. At the beginning of the summer I bought 12 weeks worth of 'buckets' of flowers. Every Friday I went and picked up my bucket from a local farm -- their choice of material - I actually really enjoy the challenge of using what I'm given instead of what I've chosen. This is the second year I've done this -- I do the church flowers. I've also grown some of my own this year to supplement if necessary. The farm supplies no greens so I've been using blackberry and hawthorn (why do they all have such heavy duty thorns!!) and have found they last quite well. I do use floral foam sometimes but use plenty of water with it. How does the costs of the pillow you've demonstrated compare with foam? I used to own a flower shop so am always thinking of the cost of sending out an arrangement.

[@FlowerJoos]

Diana Craig thank you for the message and ‘Hello’. That’s a great idea getting a bucket a week - even if you have to find you own foliage. I used some hawthorn this week - though ended up with some beetles in the car! The pillows worked out comparable to using foam , so not cheaper. They then would win out if they are re-used again and again, so it depends if you are using them for orders or contract work or in the home. I bet your buckets had some nice content. Greetings and thanks for watching! 🙋🏼‍♂️💐

[@paulacarli1181]

I have been watching Holly's venture with these as she designed, got her distributor and is showcasing it more and more. I wonder about the sizes of them, mostly I have seen you buy it along with her own containers to hold the pillows. Are you finding it hard to get them to fit your vases you already have? Love the arrangement and so happy to see you try the pillow out and critique it.

[@FlowerJoos]

paula carli I know what you mean - they are fully designed to fit the accompanying compote dishes in the range. I found they have fitted other containers just as well - on this I used oasis fix to secure it in, but it could be taped in as well. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@shellybech1]

Thank you Jhon, a very beautiful arrangement, love it. Where can I get this sort of flower pillow?

[@FlowerJoos]

shellybech1 thank you! This is an American product, so you will find it more easily in wholesalers there. Or try Holly Chapel flower pillow as a search on Amazon - it does show options there. 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@kasandramckenna3250]

Would you suggest this as a mechanic for a beginner or amateur? I’m considering using these for my tall arrangements at my wedding reception (5-7 30” vases) I was thinking it would be good because they can be done a day or two in advance. Thought I could build them and keep them in a separate vessel for hydration. And then just pop them in the vase at my venue. I have intermediate experience with silk florals and foam but very limited experience with fresh.

[@FlowerJoos]

These would be perfect - as you say, condition your flowers and then create easily and quickly in advance. The only thing is you might find the pillows need secured to the container. So one option is to make then in the containers then empty most of the water for transport, then refill there. Or you could make them there and transport the flowers flat. Have a practice with them to check out the best option for you logistic wise. Congratulations in advance for your wedding - and remember to delegate and make use of helpers!

[@kasandramckenna3250]

@@FlowerJoos Thanks for the thorough reply! Your channel is awesome!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@kasandramckenna3250 thank you 😊 🌼

[@swissdutchgirl]

Thanks for sharing...... Thought the dill you mentioned could be fennel couldn't it? it looks like it and you said it had an anis smell.

[@FlowerJoos]

Wendy yes, you are right! I love fennel and I had both fennel and dill in this. 🤪

[@tessiecochrane9621]

You’re my favorite Joos!

[@FlowerJoos]

Tessie Cochrane Thank you! 😀😀

[@paigetitus5448]

Hi I was curious if you have a website. I wanted to see how you charge for items like this. Thanks!

[@FlowerJoos]

Paige Allen we don’t have a website I am afraid as we just do floral videos now rather than retail. Costing is such a difficult thing - it can be approached in so many ways and it depends what your situation is. My best advice is cost it our for what suits you - including labour and everything. Then that’s the price! 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@joanmuldrew3841]

What size is your urn? thanks

[@FlowerJoos]

Hi Joan, now I’m not exactly sure but this was either 40 or 50 cm tall. I’m thinking 40 is correct! It a nice heavy one as well 😀🌼

[@aliceheidecker1853]

Sounds like fennel. Fennel is similar to dill, but smells like anisette.

[@FlowerJoos]

Ahh, good suggestion - I think you are right 😆🙋🏼‍♂️

[@TheMissbevs]

I have seen that you have used "pistash" in a lot of your arrangements. I am not familiar with that. Does it go by another name?

[@FlowerJoos]

TheMissbevs I have just had a look and I don’t see another name at all. On our supplier list it’s called pistachia - so a relative of the cashew.

[@TheMissbevs]

Thanks so much!

[@agustasister5624]

I am not a fan of floral foam...i got some.chicken wire to try out..thr local market doesnt really have much this time of year....so.now im waiting on my garden...im gonna have oodles of flowers if i can keep the snails and.rabbits.from them. ....and ive already planned a big event give.away for the community.aka.church!! Hopefully i will have oodles of flowers... I tried like heck to find some "green thing" seeds...still not available to the market. That plant must have a real interesting history...ive even got six kinds of amaranthus that groe like weeds here ...cant wait...

[@FlowerJoos]

Agusta Sister wow - you are going to be busy! Keep us up to date with any designs you make. That will be lovely having your own supply of flowers 😀

[@stal1ng]

So sick of that urn.
