Morning John xx I’ve never used a bouquet holder before so it has been really interesting to watch you create such a lovely cascade. As always, you have the gift of teaching me personally - I know there’s a good few thousand others watching too... but you’re really doing these vid’s just for me aren’t you 😘 Thank you both and have a lovely Sunday xx

[@FlowerJoos]

Jan Leytham-Gain just for you x - thank you for the lovely feedback! Have a great weekend from both of us at Flowerjoos 🙋🏼‍♂️😀

[@lisafrost7742]

I've been watching your video's for the last two years while I study Certificate 3 in Floristry in Australia. I always learn so much from John, his teaching and floristry skills are amazing. Thank you for all your hard work in making interesting, informative and easy to follow videos. 😊

[@FlowerJoos]

Lisa Frost thank you for the lovely feedback - hope you are enjoying your learning and all the lovely plant materials you have there 🌻🙋🏼‍♂️

[@linuslinus1024]

I love the colors and shape of this one! I think I am going to make a dining room table arrangement in the shape and length (in foam). Use a higher container and really get the curved shape and flow!

[@FlowerJoos]

Nice - a curve is classic but not as easy to achieve as some think. Send photos! 😀

[@ldw322]

Absolutely beautiful! I love your explanations and demonstrations! Thank you.

[@FlowerJoos]

Tracy Furey thank you 😀

[@valliebeth]

I’ve never seen that method of worrying callas before, it’s brilliant! I always have used an ungodly amount of stem-lock, which smells awful. I’m absolutely doing this method from now on!

[@FlowerJoos]

valliebeth thank you! It’s s ideal for this type of bouquet - but it can affect a stem as you are damaging it, so best to do on the day or the afternoon before. I tend to have everything except the bouquet made the day before, then do this on the morning ( when I am feeling revitalised! ) have a little practise with the odd stem. 😀🙋🏼‍♂️ I must give credit to Johan Huismann who taught me this at a wedding workshop. 😀

[@FrancesMacaulayForde]

I have two done and I would love to show you so you can critique and answer some questions for me. Would you have time for this? The wedding is Dec 19, 2020 so I would need your help fast. You do such an amazing job of teaching- and that is coming from a teacher!!

Thank you so much 😊 🙋🏼‍♂️🌼

[@gowriruban]

I like it you're bouquet. Super 😊

[@FlowerJoos]

BE - you asked if this could be made 3 or 4 days in advance. This is too early. The wire used to support the calla can also cause them to rot - even overnight, so I would only make on the day or afternoon before at the earliest. The callas are just sensitive to damage. Saying that for any bouquet like this I prefer to make it as close to the time of use as possible.

[@debbiewhitehouse8512]

I absolutely love your work and watching your videos, you have inspired me so much, can you please do more wedding boquet videos as you explain what you're doing with ease and keep it simple...very easy to follow🥰thankyou John for sharing your work...amazing 👏 👏 🌷❤️⭐️
