Floral Design Day 4

Last night was our final day of floral design. We got a certificate and a really pretty calla lily to take home, but more importantly we made...the tower.

The tower is a tall glass vase (white so that you can't tell the stems are sticking into a brick of styrofoam) with a ball of stuff on top. First, we start with the greens (above). Then we just stick flowers all over it until it's time to stop.

I find that silk flowers actually look better outside. Here's a picture of them in natural light:

These things cost $50 apiece if you buy them from my instructor. It is $15 worth of materials and about 15 minutes worth of work, tops.
Overall it was a good class, but again, you will not be seeing most of what we learned at my wedding :)
