Floral Arrangement 101





So this past semester I took a floral design class (and yes, it totally counted towards my major! How awesome is that?). It was a little harder than I though it would be learning the difference between chamelaucium and gypsophila. Which by the way are waxflower and baby's breath. But it was really fun and relaxing to make all the different arrangements. I learned to wrap flowers for delivery, how to make a flower gift basket, how to make a Christmas centerpiece with different pine tree branches, how to make a bridal bouquet and how to make boutonnieres among other things. I can totally arrange flowers for my own wedding now! I probably won't but the point is that I could.
