    It would be nice to mention the folwers they used such as Gerbera Daisies, Roses, Seeded Eucalyptus, Bear Grass etc…..Designing with Fresh flowers is much different than silk…..

    scissors will pinch your stems thus lessening the capability to absorb water….the clean sut with a foral knife is better….working with a real sharp knife takes practice, but it is the best way to go

    one thing about the height, if it is tall you need more flowers to keep it from looking scimpy in general.

  15. McCainTheTurdburglar says:

    I don’t know much about flowers. How much should you expect to pay for a arrangement like that?

  16. askthedecorator says:

    You are very right. The professionals point the knife towards them. But until you’ve mastered the technique, it’s much safer to point it away — or better yet, use a scissors. I found it very hard to perfect the knife technique, and was told using a sharp scissors works just as well. -Meghan

    I agree with your personal taste when it comes to the choice of colors..
    But, the good flower decorators often point the knife towards themself since this gives the best cut when it`s comes to flowers. And besides, knife is the best tool to use because it`s sharper then a scissor and if you want your bouquet to last it`s important to maintain the flowers “water-straw” by being careful not to “crush” it…

  18. askthedecorator says:

    Yes, pointing the knife away from you is very important. Thanks so much for the reminder. -Meghan

  19. Harvey030547 says:

    B- ….. Any colours will work? NO!
    vomit in a vase.
    Recepticle is important!
    Also never use a knife towards yourself, always away from you.
    Knives and flowers dont go together anyway.
