S1Editted — Step 1: Prepare your Flowers and Sundries before you start the arrangement. See below for your ingredients list for this arrangement.

Container i.e. basket
2 wet floral foam bricks
3 stems of Gladioli
1 trail of Ivy Variegated
1 bunches of Abblia Alba
2 bunch of Weigela
3 stems of Roses (Rose Miraculous)
2 stems of Germini Black Tie
15 stems of Dahlia Red Fox
5 stems of Hydrangea Classic Green/Burgundy
5 stems of Hypericum Berries
1 bunch of Dried Wheat
1 bunch of Artificial Berries
x 6 Artificial Pears

S2 Editted — Step 2: Soak the floral foam in water until fully soaked. Use the anchor tape (pot tape) to secure the foam in place in the container (i.e. the basket).

S4 Editted — Step 3: Firstly, using the ivy (or an alternative greenery of choice) wrap it around the basket handle, ensuring the stem is inserted into the floral foam.

S5 Editted — Step 4: To add height to the arrangement, we are using Gladioli. Cut to height, taking any foliage off the stem and position in the centre of the floral foam.

S6 Editted — Continue to add your stems of Gladioli. Here we have used only 3 stems – working in relation to the size of the arrangement.

S7 Editted — Step 5: Now we have positioned in the Gladioli, we have continued to create a base with your choice of foliage

S8 Editted — Continue to add your choice of foliage – differing colours & textures

S10 Editted — Step 6: Add your focal flowers, here we have Rose Miraculous. Positioning them in the centre and creating a zig zag down the arrangement

S11 Editted — Step 7: Add your intermediate flowers. Here, we have both the Germini Black Tie and Dahlia Red Fox

S13 Editted — Step 8: To fill out the arrangement, we have added artificial, dried and foraged items.

S16 Editted — Step 9: & finally add the rest of your filler flowers, Hydrangea Classic Burgundy & Green and Hypericum berries to compliment the roses.
