How To Make 2 Traditional Matching Altar Arrangements

[@flowershpGirl]

"Long Live the Carnation" All the colors and their longevity, plus their sweet scent! I love them all!

[@FlowerJoos]

😀🌼 i agree 💕

[@lynettecoleman4215]

So grateful for your lovely demos John, as a novice who does church pedestals it’s like having a hand to hold, it’s sometimes very daunting deciding what to put where knowing everyone’s going to look at the end result, me being my own worst critic! Teaching us contrast and balance is very helpful too, I learn more from you than anywhere else. PS the arrangements are beautiful! 👏👏

[@FlowerJoos]

Lynette Coleman thank you so much 😊 that is great feedback! Thank you for watching 😀🙋🏼‍♂️🎄

[@linuslinus1024]

I really like this style. It would fit in any type of decor. Old church or modern church.

[@FlowerJoos]

It’s quite traditional but classic looks good in either modern or older churches 🌼

[@myhillslife27]

I do flowers for a chapel and cathedral I agree and I use numerous foliage types available and its adds interest and character and looks for natural as you say.

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you! It really frames the flowers and adds volume! 😀🌼

[@benildagayagoy3686]

[@isabelmyosotis1588]

I love these arrangements- very elegant and modern and I agree with you that carnations are given a bad press.

[@FlowerJoos]

Isabel Myosotis it’s a shame they do as they are a great flower - and long lasting

[@FlowerJoos]

Thank you so much 😊 🌼🌷

[@trishdoughty1965]

Beautiful John. You can never have too much gyp in my opinion lol. When I got married a couple of years ago my bridesmaids had gyp bouquets and I had white avalanche roses and gyp, I treat myself to fresh flowers every 2 weeks and always have to have gyp x

[@FlowerJoos]

Patricia Doughty thank you - yes, it gets a bit of bad press but it is nice as a touch. Thanks for watching 😀

[@luisahernandez9169]

This is such a great video. I love the way how you explained it step-by-step and this is exactly what I needed to see this is going to help me to make a flora arrangement for our church altar. Thank you!

[@maryannlane7810]

Good job, just the way I was taught to do it by my floral design teacher, Bea King. She was truly gifted. Her motto was: get the sale, figure out how to do it later. Desperation will cause inspiration!

[@FlowerJoos]

Maryann Lane that’s a motto! And I bet it worked 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@limsiewthoe4227]

Hi. I am going to do this for my church tomorrow. Advent. Awesome

[@libra951]

What a great idea to do two arrangements side by side at the same time. I actually found it easier and far more faster then doing one by one. I know there're still a lot of people who doesn't like gypsophilia, but it has made its way back again. It just gives a starry feeling to an arrangement. John, how did you finished the back eventhough it's front facing?

[@FlowerJoos]

Libra it is faster and they match better making them at the same time. For the back you can just add some short foliage to cover the foam - that’s all to finish it off.

[@puffypuff9779]

Love these, I'm thinking smaller at each end of my big sideboard at Christmas.

[@FlowerJoos]

puffy puff that would be perfect at Christmas also 😀

[@mireillelaurent2498]

Ummmm beautiful....I got an idea soon i,m making some flowers arrangements for a wedding....ummm these some of the great choices for the altar ....I love them ....fast and simple .....not too much time to arrange those 🌺☘🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺👏👏👏

[@stepps511]

Wonderful, John. I do mostly church flowers but seldom "sets" such as these. I love all the materials you used and have used them all myself. Could you please point me to the other tutorial you made featuring an altar arrangement? Once again, I am in awe of your talent. Thanks to you both for these marvelous videos!

[@FlowerJoos]

stepps511 we have a new video lined up with an altar design - maybe we are out of synch, but it will be out in the next few weeks 😀

[@stepps511]

Flower Joos Ahhh, okay. I may have misunderstood something you said in the video. In any case I’ll be on the lookout for that one. And, by the way, the new video space is great. While i didn’t mind the former space, this is good. How do you like it? You’re the one working in it. As long as you find it amenable, it’s cool. Again, thank you!

[@FlowerJoos]

stepps511 thank you - yes the space is great, not having the big shelves behind that were full of stuff will be less distracting I think, and it’s more flexible to set to suit the design we are videoing. 😀

[@tiarasrandomvlogs]

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Love you man! You are the best!

[@jeanvignes]

Hi John, these are lovely. I love how they form almost a mirror image. The materials are really pretty: the salmon pink, ivory, white, green, yellow green, etc. blending into a lovely whole. Beautiful. ;0)

[@FlowerJoos]

Jean Vignes thank you - yes I do like matching designs. It has a bit of impact more than one. 😀

[@marianavarrorios4995]

Muy bello la combinación perfecta se agradece su gentil enseñanza

[@FlowerJoos]

Muchas gracias 🙋🏼‍♂️🌼

[@cindyseeley2]

Love this, do you think this could also work using moss and wire ? Thank you

[@FlowerJoos]

Yes - if you can use trays with a little depth even better - then as long as every stem reaches into the water it’s perfect. 😀

[@poonamgrandomtamang3097]

Very beautiful, thanks.

Poonam Grandom Tamang thank you!

[@mcmlxix69]

My parish has daily mass and the arrangements need to last from Sunday (arrangements are made on Saturdays) till Friday or Saturday. Does the oasis promote longevity? There seems to be a lot of mixed opinions on using floral foam. I love this arrangement style - it looks lovely and would totally work at my church! BTW, I love how you use greens!

[@FlowerJoos]

mcmlxix69 well the good thing is that churches tend to be cool inside so that helps keep the flowers. In foam it shouldn’t be a problem as long as water is added every couple of days, although some flowers don’t like foam so much - such as tulips, spring flowers. Ideally flowers are best just in water - so we have another altar video showing two tied vase of flowers. These would be good, but again need checked for water, maybe a water change. But just give it a go, the foam gives you more opportunity to create a design which really shows off all the flowers! Try it in the cooler season first. 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@mcmlxix69]

Flower Joos thank you so much for your detailed reply! I really appreciate it! Cheers!
