Cover the base with your foliage. In this case we are using baker fern, which is a very popular green. Notice that the baker fern is extended out around the base in a circular pattern. Next we place some of our flowers into the foam. In this design we are using carnations.
Carnations are a very good keeping flower.
They are easy to work with and are available in a wide range of colors. They fill space well and are easy on your budget. Starting at the top of the design we place a single flower. Then a circle of flowers in the center, and a circle of flowers around the base. Keep in mind that although you are looking at this design from one side, it is a piece meant to be viewed from all sides.
