Flowers for Tiffany

My sis-in-law's birthday is coming soon and my mom-in-law had asked me to help her to tie a bouquet of flowers for Tiffany

It is made up of pink roses, white eustoma and yellow caspia and platycium leaves.

Does this look very sweet?

Hand bouquet for Samantha

Its my company's industrial attachment student's 21st birthday party today. My colleagues and I were invited to her party. We shared the cost and bought a few presents for her, including this hand bouquet which my colleagues had asked me to arrange for her. This is the hand bouquet which I had specially done for our birthday girl, Samantha!

Flowers and foliage used are rose, nosa, alstroemeria, erica, salah and onion leaves.

Greenthumbs event @ East Coast Park

This event was organised by National Parks Board. It launches the new certification system via workforce skills qualifications body.

My fellow classmates and myself attended this event mainly to take part in the floral arrangement competition. This was my first time taking part in a floral arrangement competition. My main objective is not to win but to gain experience in competition and see what other floral arrangers create in their arrangements.

There were 2 designs that had to be done: a hand bouquet and a table arrangement. We were given a set of flowers to use for each design and have to complete in one hour for each.

I was quite lost when I first saw the flowers given to me and I did not know how I should create each design. Trial and error a few times before I created something. These are the designs which I had completed.

The photo below was the winner's floral arrangement. I'm impressed with his works.

This an extra lesson which is not in basic course curriculum. I think they are great gifts for occasions like Valentine's Day and birthdays. The material used are little bears, ribbons, satay sticks, florist tape, wire, scotch tape and gift wrappers. Below are end product I had done.

Red Rose Bouquet

This is the 1st project which I had done myself. It consists of 3 red roses and filler flowers like caspia and solidago. I felt that I should buy more filler flowers to add on in future. The bouquet looks a little bald. This is something in should improve on. Practise makes perfect!
