Crescent Design

Crescent Design

The crescent design showcases skills that students will learn further into the class such as taping and wiring. The inverted crescent (show below) requires coaxing to create the angle of the downward/upward crescent. This design will be sure catch the eye with it's appealing curves and large focal point.

Details

To begin this design, secure your floral foam to your container using clear floral tape. Proceed to cover your foam with moss, and secure the moss with hair pin wires. Next, create your lines. You may need to coax the stems of your line flowers to bend in with the curve of your line by slowly running your fingers down the stem to warm and bend. To extend flowers longer, wire and tape them to the right distance from the container. Next, add your focal flower. We used large hydrangeas. Don't forget to add filler flowers and greenery throughout. 

 

 

 

Critique

I love the formal look of this design and the draping moss coming from the sides. It looks like it belongs in a victorian mansion, not a poor college student's apartment. The purple carnations worked nicely for my inverted line and add a pop of color. I love the background of hydrangea leaves for foliage, it really brings the arrangement together.
