How to make a Sunflower flower arrangement - FLORISTRY/FLOWER ARRANGING - ARRANGING FLOWERS IN FOAM

This weeks arrangement is inspired by the colours of the Ukrainian flag and uses the complementary colours yellow and blue.
This arrangement follows patterns and structure to make a formal design creating columns of flower types, clustering and grouping the colours together. Its been arranged to be viewed from the front and would look great on a hall table, reception desk, alter or on a tall console table. centre of a table.
If you are new to arranging, take a few minutes to view my Back to Basics series which will explain how to create a very all round arrangement using a minimal amount of flowers.

So much i made this in memory of my friend who died of cancer back in April

[@sharondower]

That's such a lovely idea. It doesn't need to be perfect, just made with love and good intentions

[@blomsterimperiet6079]

It looks amazing. I love the way you balance the arrangement by using hazel with the leaves on the opposite side. Great work - Denmark.

Sharon this is beautiful. I love your explanation of moving past the vertical column design by adding the hazel branches to the side! Such a lovely way to add movement and increase the volume of the arrangement. Thank you for sharing your talents!

Stunning! Where I live (central Ohio) forsythia and sun flowers don't bloom at same time of year. What is substitute for forsythia in the middle of summer?

[@sharondower]

Thank Anna - these are commercially available flowers so unfortunately not seasonal. Would you have Liatris or Gladioli at the same time?

[@kubrakhandwala1799]

🥰🥰

[@sharondower]

Thank you

[@joanmuldrew3841]

Very nice Sharon, any idea the diameter of the top of your container? Thanks

[@sharondower]

5-6 inches ish!

[@luxentam8258]

✨✨🎊🎊🌻🌻🙏😄

[@sharondower]

I love this one too

[@barbarazube996]

How long will the sunflowers last in the foam? I need the arrangements to last at least six days.

[@sharondower]

They should be good for 6 days maximum. But less if the room is hot. Try and get them deep into the foam and make sure you can fill the container regularly with water to keep the foam hydrated. Hope that helps 😃
