I have no idea what I’m doing but this was so much fun making these for my son’s last day as a senior. They all cried and it was so beautiful to see how happy they were. Just wanted to share.

Hi, everyone! I'm a hobbyist florist and I'll be having my engagement party in September, for which I'll be designing and making the floral arrangements myself. Most of the designs I'm planning for the guests' tables can be achieved with vases and chicken wire, but for the main food table I was wanting something like the picture, which would require a significant amount ot floral foam. However, for environmental reasons, I'd prefer not to use it. Watermelon came to mind as a possible substitute, as its has a pretty high water content and would likely hold up its shape with the weight of the stems. But I'm unsure as to how it would perform throughout the party, which will last a good 6 or so hours. Has anyone here had success with watermelon or a similar alternative to floral foam for these denser and more structural arrangements? Any suggestions are welcome!

Hello! I am learning as I go and would absolutely love feedback! I am a horticulturist and would love to do floral design professionally in a few years!

I’ve been trying to make an arrangement every week to ten days. I make one for the bedroom, living room, and bathroom. Going to have a “Bubbles and Blooms” party for a few friends to do some arrangements next month.

Sharing some of my recent bouquet work 🌸

Anyone seen this before? Half of the case was fine, went to grab more this week and it's like this.

- oasis wet foam
- box was open, not damaged
- no droppings or webs in box
- foam without holes has weird streaks and is very hard

It's all been tossed but would like to prevent in the future.

Inspired by fellow redditors, various flowers made with acryllic worsted yarn (and a 3.75mm hook) from YouTube tutorials (Gonkui, Lingzhi Handmade, The Crochet Circle, Lizfaerie Crafts, achirpyhook crochet, ifeelgood, and Lyza Walters). Two books used were Nicky Epstein's Knitting Over the Edge and Lesley Stanfield's 100 Flowers to Crochet.

Put this together as a gift for my grandmother! What do you think?

Hi all! I'm new here, but figured I'd post because I'm curious about this. There is a tattoo that I want to get in the future (not any time soon). It's a bouquet of different flowers that have different meanings to me. I'm trying to figure out if they would look good together.

Red Rose - my favorite flower

Blue rose - dad's favorite

Peony - mom's favorite

Plumeria - national flower of Sicily

Black orchid - national flower of Belize

Magnolia - LA state flower

Iris - LA state wildflower

I guess my question is: would these look good together?

Hello! I made this arrangement out of practice! I also wanted to test my luck with this specialty Dahlia once again! What do you recommend? I always try to go for a whimsical structure, but I could never get that V/360 shape what can I do to practice? thank you guys! :)

I made this installation for my brother’s wedding. It’s my first time creating a wedding installation, I grow flowers as a hobby but am interested in working in floral design. Created with foraged wildflowers and greenery, a few store bought stems, and flowers grown in their home garden for a personal touch.

Last night’s flower market run was lovely! Found these beautiful Gloriosa along with the spider gerbera and mini anthuriums. I’ve added alstroemeria as fillers. Even the leaves and foliage from Gloriosa, I was able to use! What do you think? I made this bouquet for a friend!

I had a client bring me traffic cones and toy trucks for a retirement party for her husband. The traffic cones were only 1 foot tall, so it was an engineering feat to add height like her inspiration picture. The traffic cone arrangements will go on a buffet table, and the trucks are centerpieces. I did 9 trucks in total. Here are some of my favorites:
