How to use different Vases & Vessels

Have you ever felt frustrated how your bouquet looks once you plonk in a vase? not sure why it doesn't look right but not sure how to fix it? Well in most cases it's not the design that's the problem its the fact the style & type of design isn't the 'right fit' for your vase.
I love vessels & in this tutorial i share some of my favourites, why and how i recommend you design in them and how the shape and size of the vase makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
You'll find more educational and inspirational learnings, coaching sessions, resources, an incredible library of over 60+ design tutorials & an awesome community in my Greenhouse Membership here www.theivyinst...

Hi Nadine, I have only recently found your amazing channel,. It is so informative and inspiring. I have had a disability illness for over 20 years, and have found that gardening with lots of flowers is the best therapy of all. I have been gardening for almost 50 years, and I have recently started growing flowers again in our new garden specifically for cutting. My mum taught me some basic floristry skills that she learnt from her mother. Before she died she left me many of her vases and a few are very old, from England. I was so excited to see your video about vases as I have cupboard full of them and I have used everyone of them. You have really helped me in re-thinking the best ways of using the vases; thank you. I would love to come to some of your classes but I live in subtropical Qld. One thing I have particularly found since living here is that it was so much easier to grow disease free flowers when we lived in Victoria.

So glad I found your channel! Videos are excellent. I am also in Australia and am developing a keen interest in floristry, I grow my own flowers and use them to learn how to arrange and preserve. I have started in my mid 40s and live with disability. Looking forward to learning from you.

Thank you Lily, what a lovely message to find this morning. What state do you live in? Maybe you're close enough to come to one of my monthly community classes or join us within my membership where you'll find over 60 tutorials like these as well as mentoring sessions, resources etc.
So good to hear you've found floristry now, growing & designing really is the most fulfilling way.

Thanks Nadine! This was lovely.⭐️✨

I'm glad you enjoyed it, do you have a favourite vase shape?

[@karenm5681]

I do! I love working with the shape you’re holding around the 11 minute time stamp. Of course it depends on the flowers I’m working with, the occasion and what my client prefers but I do find that I gravitate towards this shape naturally. 10:57

I don't see any vases like that on Paper Ants' site. Maybe they don't make them anymore. Do you have any other suggestions for paper pottery? I can't seem to find anything else online. I buy for the flower shop I work at, and this would be perfect.

They are actually called Import ants & the product is paper pottery & yes still in stock. heres the link!www.ecomaxbrushes.com.au/products/paper-pottery/
