Final Designs Module 15 Arrangement, Bud Vase & Corsage

Comments on my last and final module #15 (from Lyn Ann)

Bud vase:

Beautiful scale to your roses. You have spaced each one consistently. And the overall form is in good proportion to the vase. To improve, keep the tallest rose straight up and down over binding point for better visual balance. Foliage and filler flower fills in the form and unifies. Stems appear to be left long in the vase- good work here.

Arrangement:

Great job with the color harmony and texture. Scale is perfect. The radial line of flowers provide a strong accent, interest and harmony. The foliages give the design a relaxed feeling that blends to your primary line of flowers. To improve, try to balance of foliage lengths to the your flowers lengths a bit more smoothly to create better visual support. As the design is now the foliages seem to overwhelm a little. Keeping flowers a little longer or shortening foliages would help blend them more fluently. Using leaves inside the vase is a good choice to create additional interest.

Corsage:

Wiring is done well. Taping is thin and tidy. To improve, try to create a stronger backbone. It is slightly weak and flops around too much. As you add individual wired flowers or foliages to the first stem, start higher up and work your way down so that a stronger construction forms at the back. This will help naturally create a stronger bond when combining your materials. The bow is in good scale, consider making a smaller loop at the center to conceal wire. " Total practical score is 96%. Written exam is 100%.

My average overall Floral Design score is 98%!

Not bad for a beginner! I enjoyed my experience studying floral design from the Floral Design Institute Distant Learning Program. My favorite designs were wedding flowers and European designs.

I hope to have an opportunity to designs flowers in the future! ♥
