Petal Driven Floral Kit Centerpiece Tutorial

[@mandydavison91]

Just a heads up to anyone taking note...don't push your oasis into the water. Air bubbles will get into it and your flowers won't be able to drink up water as they should! 😀 Also, if you leave the oasis 1 inch or so higher then the rim you will likely use less product and the design will flow easier as you won't be reaching stems up and over the vessel.

Appreciate your feedback. There are many ways to do flowers. I’ve done it this way for over 10 years. Never have I had a problem with air bubbles preventing arrangements from staying fresh. To each their own! 😁

[@PrincessOfTheUniverz]

There's definitely a wrong and a right way to hydrate your Oasis - they teach you on their website. Never push it down because of the air bubble :) #themoreyouknow

[@pheebelikes3500]

I think you make beautiful arrangements. Now that im constantly watching flower arrangements, I can get some flowers while grocery shopping instead of stopping to admire the flowers or passing by the flower Dept at the store without buying nothing. May start building my vessel collection little by little.

Pheebe Likes so wonderful!

Beautiful & whimsical!Dahlias are gooorg! NEVER force your foam! Can cause air pockets of dry foam on the inside & can choke the flowers. Just place foam on the water & let gravity pull it down. Takes ~2mins you'll see it turn dark green meaning it's saturated 💗 Tip: If you leave an inch of foam above the rim, you create more horizontal spacing to work with. Warm water will get foam soaked faster; hydrangea don't typically like foam so you can do the greens 3-4 days before u need the centerpiece then add hydrangea day before & spritz with water day off.

[@kellywilson3475]

As others have mentioned, but is extremely important for your flowers, do not push the floral foam into the water. You will get air pockets and your flowers will not have water. Let it soak gradually on its own speed. Also, add floral nutrient to the water before soaking your foam. These are key for longer-lasting flowers. After the arrangement is complete, don’t forget to add floral nutrient water every day to keep the flowers hydrated. If you need to reinsert a flower or greenery, give the stem a fresh cut before reinserting into a different spot in the Oasis.

I'm new to flower arrangements and thank you for the extra feedback! If you ever do a class sign me up lol

[@nikko__5850]

I love that your self taught. Just like myself. I’m experimenting and trying to use different techniques. Also learning the proper care and use of greenery at the base. Great tip!

[@nidhaification]

Hope you're doing well, just wanted to say you have one of a kind channel. It is precious, please do keep it going.

This is gorgeous and very informative. The colors are amazing. Thanks for introducing us to Petaldriven and the great discount!

[@whiteorchid02]

Any florist KNOWS that you DO NOT push the floral foam into the water as to AVOID AIR BUBBLES IN THE FOAM which does not allow for proper water absorption thus allowing for full stem absorption throughout all floral stems and entire arrangement. You simply place the foam atop the water and ALLOW the foam to slowly and completely absorb the water ON ITS OWN . And always cut stems at an angle before insertion . BTW BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENT. 👌

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Foo Foo guess everyone has their own way...and that’s OK! ☺️

[@doraayalacastro5380]

@@ashlyncartervlog No there is a right way to work with Oasis be intelligent and go to Oasis web site and get schooled by their recommend way use their products.

[@user-om8sy1df9c]

Nice video but as a professional florist I should tell you that if you let the oasis stick out the container by an inch or more you will have more horizontal space to place your flowers .

[@munirasultana2313]

Loved your simple technique 👌💟

Beautiful! Such a great idea! I'm starting a small cut-flower bisiness next year, I cannot wait!

I always love your arrangements. Today, I recommended to Laura from Garden Answers do a Collab with my favorite flower arrangers. Wouldn’t that be great to do such a fun video. Thank you Ashlyn for bringing beauty to our lives. I also enjoy Northlawn Flower Farm”s channel too. Great video.

[@susangreenler3517]

Simply gorgeous!

[@robertyanes4751]

Stunningly beautiful!

[@shelaghwalsh991]

Just beautiful! I have a question. Every other flower site I have watched say to drop the oasis in the water and let it sink on its own to ensure the whole piece absorbs water. They also say to never push it down( like you did) , what are your thoughts on this?

[@yvonneorchison-yip9282]

Yep, that’s what was taught in flower school and shops I used to work too.

[@willothwisplx2516]

Just gorgeous

[@tamikaallison2492]

Dana Brandt definitely want to do another kit! Trying to stick with color pallets that cater to larger groups. Keep in mind you can always add flowers too if you have any accent ideas!

You didn't mention flower food when soaking your oasis. Are you opposed to flower food? 🌹

[@Shortstoryshari]

Hoping to buy these kits for my wedding! Slightly concerned about being able to produce 5-8inch lush centerpieces as depicted in the video. The fullness of this arrangement is perfect. Is there an equivalent count of all stems?

[@ashlyncartervlog]

Shari G. Awesome! Yes I used the exact amount of stems we allotted per centerpiece!! Plus there are a few extra for safe measure. Such a great way to have beautiful flowers and save money! 🙌🏼

[@Shortstoryshari]

Floral foam is so polluting. So bad for the environment. There are so many alternatives to floral foam like the biodegradable one and chicken wire.

[@cherylq1685]

Gorgeous but petal driven sucks. Who in the world would pay their prices? Ridiculous. Any other bulk online floral company is like 1/3 of the price.
