Geometric line - Japanese influence

There are other geometric line arrangements, but this one has a more Japanese approach with its straight lines forming an upside down triangle with the Typha.



The Ginger flower has a rich red colour, which gives a great contrast to the white Chrysanthemums.  It is also available in a bright pink colour as well.

Loop lines

This is my most proud arrangement, because it has the challenging loop lines but my teacher didn't make any alterations to the overall arrangement at all.



If you want to bring a classy and unusual flower arrangement for a friend as a gift, or simply to brighten up your home, the colour scheme in this arrangement has that great cheerful Spring feel about it.

Happy Mother's Day!

This is a more creative and elegant way to present carnations to your mother on Mother's Day!  You can even choose your mum's favourite colour for the carnation used here to personalise it.

Vertical arrangement with heavy line

The Birds of Paradise are so vibrant and interesting looking, personally I feel this arrangement looks like a bird standing still with its wings out (where the Cordyline are looped)!


The crossing curves

I love the pom-pom mums in this arrangement!  They are bright and cheerful which gives a great focal point at the bottom, while the Pandanus give a sophisticated crossing curves at the top.


The dome shape

This is another 4 dimensional arrangement which is a great centerpiece to use for dining tables or at wedding tables.  This design is simplistic but yet colourful and modern with the delicate Bear grass looping around the carnations.



The great thing about this arrangement is that Carnations come in different variety of colours, so just use your imagination to choose the colour theme!

The 4D horizontal

This is a great arrangement for conferences or long tables in meetings, as it is 4 dimensional which means that everyone in the room sitting around the table can have a good view of this beautiful arrangement.  I had used white Eustoma here, but they can be replaced with white roses which would have a more luxurious effect.

The crescent

I really enjoyed making this crescent arrangement using the Aspidistoa (the huge green leaves), as I love the curves they created which complemented well with the big lilies in the centre.

The 3D triangular arrangement

This was the first time I came across with Mollucella and it is a very interesting flower, as my first impression was that it is not a flower!  They drink a lot of water and in the warmer weather, so it is best to submerge the whole stem in water in order to allow for it to have a good soak.

Natural curves

This is one of my favourites as I really love the overall appearance of how the dragon willow, the orchids and the huge, bright Chrysanthemums give a hint of oriental style!



I have still kept the dragon willow to use as part of a dried flower arrangement.  They will last forever.
