Instruction’s
Step:
1. Wiring oasis around after placed it in the vase. It used to
strengthen the oasis so it won’t break down after held many stems.
2. First, we tuck the sanseviera leaf as a tallest material and it
also played as the foundation for this linear flower arrangement.
3. After sanseviera, we can start to tuck the other foliage such as
Taiwan leaf, song of Jamaica and also leather leaf. Foliage was using to cover
the oasis and the wire netting. Cut them in different height as a linear form
should be. Remember to give enough space to tuck the flower’s stems.
4. After all the foliage set, we can start to tuck the flowers. Start
from the highest place than go down. In this flower arrangement, we use
carnation as the tallest flower, so tuck them one by one in different height.
Do the same thing with the eustoma flowers.
5. After done with the upper carnations, we can tuck the anthurium,
start from the upside and then go down to the lower side of the arrangement.
6. We use aster to fill the spaces between the main flowers. So, start
it with tucking them at the front side and then goes around filling the empty
spaces in the flower arrangement.
7. As an ornament we use salix. Salix has a unique form, so we must
observe first which side it looks and form the best for this arrangement. After
we figure it out, tuck it also with the same technique.
If we couldn’t find the similar flowers with all of this material
used in this flower arrangement, feel free to use another kind of flowers as
long as they have the same character.
