first of all it has no shape whatsoever, secondly it is not shown how to secure the flowers so they do not fall out of the foam- from what I've learned during my florist course, you glue the small elements ( or at the very least you put some glue in between the flowers, so when it dries up it creates a sort of net) and wire the large and heavy ones and the wire is attached to the plastic net on the holder. Then you are assured that it won't fall apart whilee the bride walks down the aisle.

Lmfao! Isn't this supposed to be a video for a bouquet? Why is she making a pile of dead foliage?

Ugh I have to make an Orchid cascading bouquet with butterflies...hope I can do this.

[LetellierPrincess]

that is just awful i would be very made if i paid money for that

[fitzy1972]

That is so dodgy looking.  I would freak if I had paid money for that and got 3 roses and 3 lillies, an 3 stems of orchids.

it really doesnt look nice at all :0( All the other videos are of beautiful arrangements but this one isnt so nice! :(

[dreammerqueen]

Awful, ugly, and didnt have any shape at all. Wont you get long steam roses going down as a "cascate" bouket?? I dont like it

[iceartist22]

Wow, that's really awful looking....although I'd give her the benefit of the doubt & assume she's just quickly showing the stages & not really intending that to be a final piece that would be sale-worthy.

what did she say that tool is called?? the one she's putting the flowers in??
