I love this design and all that it encompasses. You don’t need much of any of the forms used, just as long as there are plenty of LOTS. The more the merrier is how she liked to work. If it was spring then fill that vase to visually enjoy the season.
Constance was the one who said, ‘the difference between a weed and a flower is an opinion’. I love it. She also said that at times you need to take a duster to the tulips - they last that long! And some do. Did you know that tulips once cut and vased continue to grow? Fascinating!
I hope you love this design as much as I do.
Things to gather:
- I used one of my styled, embellished & decoupaged urns:
- Chicken wire mess to fill container cavity. Necessary to hold all blooms in place. Or you might like to use foam. Only issue with foam is that some of the stems of your forms might be soft and trying to push them down into the foam can block the stems or they might be too soft in insert into foam.
- A variety of early spring flowers/foliage’s including: Coconut ice foliage, Tea-tree or Manuka, Viburnum, Pieris or lily of the valley shrub, Hellebore, 1 or 2 giant white king proteas, Blossom branches, Eucalyptus & a spike or stem of cymbidium orchids & perhaps a few early tulips!
