Horizontal floral design

The design has three anthuriums, five ti leaves, five calla lillies and five dendrobium orchids

• Secure a piece of floral foam within the confines of the container wrapped in the leaves.

• Establish the framework height and width.

• Insert the five callas deeply into the foam angling them downward into the foam.

• Insert the three anthurium on the other side to balance it,

• Place the ti leaves in the back to mimic a bow.

• Finish with the orchids to fill in and extend length.

Don’t be tempted to add too many flowers. Keep the profile of the design low.
