    This is the first cascading bouquet tutorial I've seen that isnt just sitting roses on top of long greenery and orchids. I appreciate it

    Beautiful!!!! 😊 Inserting cala stems can be pain.....but instead of wiring and taping (which can interfere with water absorption to the stem) I usually take a ink pen and start to make a whole in the oasis foam....Then the stem slides right in. Fellow floral designer here. I love watching these videos. Even though I've been designing for 35+ years...(family owned business) I always pick up tricks and tips from fellow designers. Sometimes I'm like "well damn!!!! Why haven't I though of that!!!!!" Lol 💐Keep on designing!💐

    I used this tutorial to make my first cascading arrangement, and while it was not the best, it was still gorgeous and made the bride, mother of the groom and the groom all tear up with happiness. I highly recommend it as a guide for beginners and a good review for flower arrangers who are a little out of practice! Thank you!
  • Thank you so much. I'm making a bouquet for a bride getting married next month using these colors. This was an excellent inspiration. Also I hope to be starting floral school soon and love the way you gave the instructions. Hope my instructors are as thorough. Thanks again.
  • Excellent. Thank you for this excellent video. GREAT directions - clear and slow enough to take notes.
