Fancy some purple 'T'? - Vertical Shape (Inverted T)

This royal colour does not have to be gaudy, when playing with colours it's about the right balance and bringing out the best in each flowers. For focal flowers, I used this purple almost magenta-ish gerberas.

Line flowers and leaves are chosen to maintain the length and shape of this inverted T. I absolutely love this tuberose, in Malay it's called Harum Sundal Malam indicating that its sweet scent fills the night air upon blooming. Next to it is the lovely Limonium sinuatum, better known as 'million purple'. The leaves seen at the background is locally known as fishtails due to its peculiar split at the end.

Finally what would we do without our wonderful supporting casts? Secondary flowers: Dual tone carnations and purple chrysanthemums.

Here is the purple inverted 'T' arrangement which I was most glad to present it as centrepiece for a community workshop aimed at instilling values to underpriviledged girls.

First sale - Crescent Shape Arrangement

I'm truly honoured to be able to craft a birthday arrangement for a dear friend who wanted something special for her mom's birthday. And being an ardent supporter, she insisted on purchasing the arrangement even though I wanted to bless her. Ms Juni, thank you for your belief and ever present encouragement ;)

Pink carnations, purple dendrobiums and chrysanthemums.

Something sweet, something pink, something modern:

Classic Shape 5 : Vertical A

As promised, here's my post on new shapes I have learnt last weekend. Vertical A, as its name implied, is a straight, tall and narrow 'A' shaped arrangement commonly seen at the corner of a hotel's reception or on a small side table usually with a mirror behind to create an illusion of depth and space. It's the slimmer sister of another classic shape-the triangle.

Let's start with some bright colours, I have chosen the cheery gerbera as my focus flower:

The supporting casts of red carnations and lime green pom-poms

A dash of eucalyptus leaves for its refreshing scent:

Voila...

Classic Shape 4: Horizontal arrangement

A horizontal arrangement is a low arrangement but the length is usually 2 times the height. A classic horizontal arrangement is symmetrical, which means the length on both sides is the same. Moreover, the placement of flowers is mirrored to the other side.

As the name suggests, this arrangement is best suited for longtables or locations where you would rather not obstruct the view.

Getting ready to start!

A mix of vermillion and dual toned carnations, yellow pom-poms and daisies .....

Here's a horizontal arrangement to perk up any boring meetings and conference rooms ;)
