The quality of the floral arrangement depends completely on the quality of the flowers used in the arrangement. You can have the most talented Florist but without the most beautiful of blooms to work with, the arrangement will quite frankly, be doomed. You can have an ordinary Florist with access to extraordinary flowers and you will love that bouquet because that is what floristry is about, flowers...beautiful, exquisite flowers. And of course when you have an extraordinary Florist with extraordinary flowers well the result is utterly and I do mean utterly, breathtaking.
A Florist that respects the bloom will see results they thought were not possible...one that doesn't hold the head of a Tulip back with a wire pin nor wrap the stem of a Gerbera with floristry wire so tight it bruises...seeing what can be achieved without too much manipulation...nature needs minimal prodding to look its best.
That is why the arrangements your Mother or Grandmother made using flowers from the garden are probably still some of the most beautiful floral arrangements you have seen. The untrained eye can be a blessing...that organic, made with love, rough around the edges kind of floral arrangement is just so strikingly simple and beautiful sometimes too.
It's all in the flowers and the love that went into it!
Go pick some flowers today and see what you can make.
