My floral design course sadly came to an end in December. I now have certificate of completion from Utah School of Floral Design ;) I really enjoyed exploring the floral world. There are so many creative designers out there! I hope to use my new skill in the near future. I have not yet figured out how, but I'm sure I will think of something.
Our last few weeks of class we learned about funeral/sympathy arrangements. I never realized how expensive and MASSIVE some of these arrangements are. Some of the pieces I worked on were a casket piece (below), set piece, and easel arrangement. By the end of funeral week Matt told me I had to get rid of some flowers. They were everywhere!
This is a casket piece. It's not completely full, but Bonnie and I worked on it to get a feel for the shape and lines of this type of arrangement. Matt came home from school...he didn't really appreciate my use of the TV as a stand. 
A funeral wreath. We ran out of flowers so I had to dig some out of the garbage can...some may look a little crushed. I still think the pink flowers are beautiful.
This is a bride's bouquet I made during wedding week. 
This is the last arrangement/technique we learned. It is called a European wrap. The technique is in the way the bouquet is wrapped with the paper and cellophane. The wrap creates a sort of temporary vase. Water can be poured on the top of the flowers and the cellophane will hold the water until the bouquet can properly be placed in a vase with water. This was a fun little piece.
