Beautiful Flower Arranging - Anyone can do it if I can!
I started from absolute scratch and even though I have never reached an exceptional high standard I get a lot of satisfaction from flower arranging.
Dried Flower Arrangements
It lead to being asked to help out at church festivals, parties weddings etc. or just doing an arrangement for a friend as a gift.
I find just handling flowers has quite a calming effect and instead of just buying yourself some flowers and putting them in a vase, take time and make yourself an arrangement. You'd be surprised what a stunning display can be done without spending a fortune - just a bunch of spray carnations and some nice foliage can do the trick.
Fresh or dried flowers can be used depending on the occasion and all year round there is no shortage of either.
I now get asked to help at weddings or church festivals which can at first appeared quite daunting, but don't be put off. Even though a pedestal may be out of your range there are window sills and pew ends to be done.
When I have been asked to help on these occasions I have always found people very helpful, offering advice and sharing materials.
Keep your eyes open for good foliage.
If you have suitable greenery in your garden it will make it easier but search your friends gardens (with their permission of course) and you will be amazed at what you can use.
In my town we have a large Flower Club which meets every month and we have a professional demonstrator who gives us new ideas. So if there is one near you go along and you will be, I am sure, made very welcome.
