Since we moved into our house I have discovered that I really enjoy interior decorating. One of my all time favorite stores is Tai Pan Trading. They have tons of beautiful silk flowers there and I've always thought it would be fun to make an arrangement. My sister is in a floral design class and she helped me pick out some flowers. She learned about 4 things that every arrangement needs. Here is my version of the 4 necessities:
1. Something up high and down low- tall flowers, sticks, etc. for the top and then some to droop over/border the bottom.
2. An exotic/expensive flower to be the focal point.
3. Other main flowers that you like.
4. Filler stuff- greenery, smaller flowers, etc.
You put the greenery in first and then the flowers. I think it turned out pretty well and I had lots of fun. One of the best parts was that I did it for about half the price of buying an already made arrangement. Also, my grandma always says that if you don't like it you can just pull everything out and start all over! It's not as hard as it looks and I am looking forward to doing another one!
