[@terrilister3219]

Sharon I’m in the US and I have been binging on your videos! I worked in a shop and now I design weddings and events from my home studio. I’m self thought until I discovered you. I have taken many classes but I’ve learned so much more from you. You are an amazing teacher! I love learning the reasons why we do things. I could go on forever but I just want to thank you.

I like how you explained what lengths to cut the foliage to create your arrangement. Thank you

[@sharondower]

Thanks Maureen

Beautiful

[@robinbeck1961]

What a beautiful combination of flowers and foliage. Your instructions from container to mechanics; flower selection to arrangement all are so interesting. Thank you.

[@sharondower]

I’m a trained florist who hasn’t done anything beyond a table centre for my own house in over two years. I am doing quite a big wedding for a friend on Saturday and I can’t lie - I’m nervous. This video was exactly what I needed. A calm, clear, detailed run through of how to make a simple beautiful table centre. It has boosted my confidence and convinced me I’ve ordered the right flowers! Sometimes it’s just a reminder you need. Thank you.

Thank you David, what a lovely comment. I'm sure you will do a brilliant job, it's just like riding a bike. You don't forget! Good luck and enjoy

[@sarahpugh749]

You are a fabulous tutor, I have learnt so much from your tutorials, thank you for sharing.

[@sharondower]

Thanks Sarah - hopefully now the wedding season is over, I can get back to making a new set of videos

[@alisonjackson2053]

Another great video and it is helpful when you refer to elements and principles of design when making the arrangement.

[@sharondower]

Thanks Alison - hopefully it makes sense

[@sarahpugh749]

Another excellent tutorial, thank you for sharing.

[@sharondower]

Glad you are enjoying

You are a great teacher, well articulated, excellent explanation. I am having a posy bowl assessment on Monday. You helped me enormously. Kind Regards, from Sydney

[@sharondower]

Thanks Marita that's great to hear. Good luck with your post bowl assessment

Oh dear my house is going to rack and ruin as I spend most of my time watching your fantastic videos. Can I ask if there is any reason why you secure the oasis in with spare foam and tape rather than use a plastic frog?

[@sharondower]

I'm not a great lover of floral frogs because they don't always stay fixed to the bottom of the container. If the container is cold, wet or a little dusty the oasis fix doesn't adhere properly. Then the single block of foam moves around in the container which I don't like. The smaller pieces of foam stop the foam wobbling around and hold it secure when you are working. Does that help and make sense?

[@JackieNussey-mh7og]

@@sharondower perfect sense. Thank-you

Is there a name for the color harmony you are using? I'm a beginner trying to learn my color theory. It seems you're using the three secondary colors: orange, green, and violet. Would that be triadic color harmony? At first I thought the orange gerberas looked out of place, but they ended up looking very nice.

[@sharondower]

Hi Dianne. The Gerbera's is actually a dark pink, I think the lighting and the affect of the other colours is making it look an orangy brown. So technically, it's not really following a proper colour harmony, it was just something I thought worked well together.
