Our Show Committee provides an opportunity to stretch our floral design muscles each month. Photographer and Club Member Mary Cottrell sent us some photos depicting ‘vertical,’ ‘line’ and ‘mass’ designs that might be of interest to those wanting to delve deeper into the intricacies of floral design. The more you practice different floral designs in your arrangements, the more you’ll be surprised how easy it is to create something special – please yourself!  Check out the three designs below:

this 'vertical' arrangement would look great on a foyer table or in a wall nook

 

this line design would look lovely on a dining table or buffet

this traditional 'mass' design uses flowers easily found in the floral department of your favorite grocery store

October 2011 Design of the month is a ‘line’ design.  We think you’ll enjoy this design challenge.
