Video: A Lesson in Reflective Floral Design

See this content in the original post

In this floral design tutorial video, the arrangement’s flowers are all from Certified American Grown farms. My vessel is from Accent Decor, and I’m using a flower frog (I love flower frogs!) from Floral Genius.

As I design, I’m taking time to really look at the flowers and enjoy them—stem by stem. Foxglove is one of my favorite ingredients. I love their little freckles and the fact that they are a place for bumblebees to take a rest. 

I’m also listening to my surroundings. The various songs of the birds fluttering about outside bring me great peace. As I feel the rough edges of the bells, they remind me that despite their texture, they still belong in this arrangement. I’m giving them each a special place. 

Speaking of belonging, you may come across a flower that doesn’t seem to quite fit. But often times, if you place it in just the right spot, it finds its home and purpose in your arrangement.

There’s a lesson there for all of us—we belong. YOU belong. Whether you’re in a season of floating and dancing up high for all to see, or you’re in a place of support and foundation, there’s space for you here.
