Yr 2 - Back to Uni.

Back to university this week. Very exciting stuff!! Looking forward to challenges ahead. We have already started exploring current floristry trends and how this applies to the fashion world. Two of my favourite things coming together. . .  Fashion and Flowers. What else could a girl ask for!!  

Had a real confidence boost in our first practical session of the year. Completed a Bridal bouquet on a posy holder with a stunning contemporary handle. The traditional posy shape is a soft dome shape and with the right shape and size flowers is usually considered a doddle! ! However it proved rather different when I had to complete an Edwardian inspired bridal posy in my 1st year practical exam. On completing a contemporary version of the bridal posy, I was over joyed to see what an improvement I had made since my last attempt. Practice really does make perfect!!
