Mayesh Design Star: Artful & Sustainable Floral Arch

In her second Design Star video, Sue designs a floral arch with a focus on doing more with less - and not necessarily fewer flowers, but fewer varieties and elements. This practice has helped Sue become more flexible with her designs and allows her to work with the seasons and learn to design with what is available.
The armature for this design is a repurposed bundle of smilax vine that Sue has used and reused for years, which she hung from the ceiling with twine. She then chose a limited selection of five floral elements to include in her hanging arch (listed below).

Hypericum berries! And thank you!

[@perdrangehansen7105]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful work . What is the name of the stems you have used for attaching the kala ? Is there alternative materials you could recommend? Thank you 🙏

[@susanmcleary6494]

"chenille stems" or pipe cleaners. After the video, I started testing regular toothpicks, and they work perfectly as well!

[@siscaytube1652]

would you be able to show how to hang the structure? Thank you

[@susanmcleary6494]

It was so simple, but I should've shown it! I just used twine! I tied it to the tangle of vine, in sturdy spots, and tied it around the overhead supporting beams.

[@itspinka3777]

Wow
