Flower Auction Action

This weekends homework:

Draw 3 bouquets & list the items needed to create them

  • 1 Stroussed bouquet
  • 1 Modern bouquet
  • 1 Bouquet of students choice

Homework

I was like a kid in a candy store, I went for whites & greens in the modern arrangement, a luxurious stroussed iris bouquet & a romantic mixed bunch in pinks with peony & freesia (Basically my dream wedding bouquet)

Sue & Krishna are clever ladies, they bribe me into doing my homework. They took Tina & I to the flower auctions & let us buy our flowers for our 3 bouquets. I felt like a stockbroker…BUY..BUY..BUY! It was a rush man. We got these cool secret bidding buttons under your table & we walked around a giant cool-room to see the stock before the auction, excellent.

It was totally worth getting up at 3am for (it started at 5am but it was ages away & I am the kind of girl that needs an hour before being seen by human eyes)

Stay tuned to see my creations later this week, I suspect they may be pretty special.

Picture time! I look like a tourist wherever I go these days, it’s a little scary actually. People stare & everything.

Other peoples purchases, I didn't buy half as many as that
