Easter teacup

I had an order this week for an Easter themed teacup, hence the Easter eggs in this arrangement! The muscari is starting to come out in the garden as well so I incorporated some of them, as well as the little yellow flowers although I'm not quite sure what they are.

Springtime teacups

I brought home the flowers from college that I had used in my egg box arrangements, but because they were all cut short there wasn't much I could do with them. They were perfect for a teacup arrangement though, so I made up two!

3D Easter display

I was back at college this week, and we were constructing out final group display. My group chose Easter as its theme, and this is what we came up with. The display was a lot bigger than we were expecting, but we got a distinction so that wasn't a bad thing! I was responsible for making the simnal cake and the egg box flowers.

We were all really pleased with how the display came out. We thought we had too many flowers but actually I think it was just the right amount. It was just a shame it only stayed up for about 10 minutes before we had to take it down!

Egg box arrangement

For the 3D display we're doing at college my group have chosen an Easter theme, and I've chosen to make an arrangement in an egg box.  So I decided to have a practice in advance of the actual day.

I think the eggs looks great - the centres were easier to remove than I thought and it doesn't take many flowers for it to look good. The eggs aren't particularly water tight though - I don't think there were any holes but the water did seep through the shells. I've coated the inside with glue now though so hopefully that will help! I'm not sure what flowers I'll be using on the day but I'm sure they'll be similar.

Springtime arrangements

My mum brought home some flowers during the Easter weekend and asked me to make an arrangement for the table. This is what I came up with, and I had some flowers left over so I made another small arrangement with them. The foliage all came from the garden so it's really useful that my mother is into gardening!

Spring flowers

I have developed a new found obsession with pussy willow and my mum has a plant in the garden so I wanted to incorporate some into a design. So this is what I came up with, and I'm so pleased with it!
