Summer is a season
full of celebration. Here is a project to create
a simple DECORATIVE PARALLEL DESIGN.
A "parallel" design has a natural, garden-style look; the plant material seems almost to be growing, as if in a garden bed. Three
upright groupings have been placed, repeating a vertical pattern with
The grouping, which can be any number desired, can be of the same plant material, or can contain various components. Vegetative in feeling, this design is enjoyable for the beginning designer, or the more advanced arranger! A parallel design has a structured, contemporary look and will make a lovely centerpiece for any summer occasion or celebration. Supplies needed:
Tips: Cut stems on a slant for better retention. Keep floral foam moist to prolong the life of the design Mist plant material occasionally. Prior to insertion, remove all leaves that will be below the "water-line" and into the foam. Floral foam is a green spongy block that absorbs water. It is used to hold plant materials in place. It can be cut easily with a knife. Do not reuse the floral foam. Easy Steps
