John: ...visual impact, looks beautiful... Janos: that stem. The stem, John. The Orchid stem. Arrrrgghhhhh... Beautiful, as always, John. Love your work, John and Janos!
I admit to having shied away from faux flowers in the last 10 years or so, but only recently bought two stems to place in a tall slender vase for a bureau in my bedroom. THIS arrangement, John, is exquisite, and I might have been equally satisfied with the curly willow and the blossom branches Just beautiful! Of course, I'm envious of that vase - another from your terrific collection. As ever, thank you for the inspiration and for the opportunity to watch you in action. What a joy!
Thank you so much - you are always so kind. 😊 You are right of course - just the blossom and willow would be a great option in a vase like this . And the other end of the scale is using all the stems 😆 Stay safe 😀🌼
I love-love doing faux flowers! In clear vases I use new aquarium gravel or stones if I need weight. Usually need weight for a busy counter like mine at work. You gave away my secret of using old dried out foam! I have a open container in my hot garage where water evaporates from old wet foam.
😊 it’s good to be economic + waste not, want not as they say. And yes, a bit of weight in the container really helps, especially if the design is in a busy area.
Very helpful to know to fill the large vase with used wet foam! I recently purchased a pair of 24 inch tall jug containers and was searching for a video to help me know how to fill it so I can place the flowers! Your video was perfect! Thank you!
Imagine I have been order to make silk flowers and was Google about silk flowers and Joos you pop up bless you given me great idea appreciated you always beautiful design
You continue to creat one fabulous arrangement after another! Since I live in Hawai’i where we have limited access to mainland flowers, I have been able to order really exceptional botanically correct florals from Prestige Botanicals. They has allowed me to have the joy of creating realistic and elegant high end arrangements. Thank you so much for reinforcing that it is “OK” to use them! I WISH there was an IKEA in Hawai’i!
Thank you! I used to suggest this for customers with regular designs to do - like in a church. Buy one or two stems each week to build up a selection to enhance designs when flowers are expensive or you want a real impact. Hawaii must be nice though 😀🌼🙋🏼♂️
Gorgeous, John! And I totally agree that the faux flowers are much nicer now then a few years ago. There are certainly advantages to using them, as you mentioned. I actually made an artificial arrangement a few weeks ago and took a picture of it, sent it to a friend who said it looked really nice and real. And then today, I was taking a picture of one of my fresh arrangements and I had put a stem up higher, out of the water in the vase, just to snap the picture! 😆
Good job, I always enjoy watching you create. I only work with artificial flowers. No watering, no worrying about sunlight, no mess! They are more expensive to buy, but they last for years, and like you said, you can take them apart and reuse them. I have 6 wreaths for my front entrance door...all artificial. I just change them according to the season and occasion. Wish I could show you pics! =)
Send us pics! Our email is flowerjoos@gmail.com 😀 it will be nice to see your designs 🌼 That’s a great idea - make decor you can rotate - so ring the changes! 😀🙋🏼♂️
Beautiful! I have several stems of various flowers and haven't been able to come up with a design for them. I'm certainly going to try this one! Thanks for sharing your talent 💕
I'm trying to start a floral business beginning only with silks. I've wondered if it's possible to succeed and I'm praying for the best, so I thank you for pointing out all the benefits of working with silks. Also your arrangement is beautiful.
Thank you! 😀 there is no reason that a silk only business would not work - in fact, there is no waste as the products do not go off! We have a couple of videos discussing wedding work and funeral work - but just generally how to approach business that you might like to watch. Just scroll through our videos from last summer. I wish you the best of luck in your venture 😀🙋🏼♂️😆
@@FlowerJoos thank you Sir, your positivity and kindness are very uplifting! I'm puzzled because there isn't a single silk floral business near where I live. It seems for some reason they're less popular, but perhaps I can change people's minds about it. Soon I hope to work with both silks and fresh flowers once I can save enough to invest in a cooler.
@@FlowerJoos ... Thank you for your replies! I would love to see a design featuring coral colors. And, I would love to see an Ikebana using flowering quince. You seem to have access to all sorts of materials!
Great, loving big arrangements at the moment. Faux flowers are so much better these days. Most of my vases are glass but I’ve been raking up moss from the garden, drying it, then using it to disguise the stems and any foam or support.
Just getting to watch this today! It's fabulous. I have an arrangement on my landing window which I like but it pales in comparison to this!! My window is huge and your design would be more size appropriate for it.....as well as amazing, of course. Love it, John 💕
I loved the arrangement; however, I was bothered by the "STEM" of one of the pieces sticking out of the back. I'm wondering if it was on purpose that you left it or that it was really a mistake??? It bothered me so much, I had to write!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What a beautiful job I love it when I go to Ikea I always take a walk for gardening Artificial flowers and plants are very beautiful I really love Ikea❤️ .... Your plates on the wall are very beautiful 😍 have you made them? gives a different touch to your wall 😊🦉🌻
Thank you! Yes - I head straight to the plant area as well 😀😊🌼 The plates were given to me - and they look nice there I think! The are quite old I think, but beautiful 😀 Stay safe and thank you 🙋🏼♂️☀️🌞🌷
@@FlowerJoos 🙋🏼♀️ Natural flowers are always better but this time at Ikea those flowers are very pretty They make your home cozy. Your dishes are beautiful and if they are old ideals, keep them .. Take care and good morning 😊🌷
Really great arrangement! Agreed, faux flowers, plants, (trees!) have come such a long way the last few years. They're easy to find, reasonably priced and can last indefinitely in so many arrangements. I have a big bin of them under a bed, protected from dust. Every so often I 'rediscover' them and get an arrangement together for a table, bedroom, the piano, so easy! Curly willow is so fun too, I've had stems of that last forever as well. They've gone from fresh pieces in Spring bouquets to parts of X mas designs many years later when they've been dried and sprayed gold!
Thank you! Yes, keeping them dust free is important when they are stored - I’m the same - I rediscover silks every now and again when looking for something else 😀 Glad you enjoyed the video 🌼🙋🏼♂️
I think that is a good way to create designs - the only issue is cutting stems short - once short it’s harder to make them longer again! But now, I think you might struggle to know it’s a mix 😀🙋🏼♂️
I'm building a new house and currently realizing that my kitchen island is huge and the focal point of my home. Its oan oval island and im looking to do my own tall center piece what flowers would you recommend. I love the green leaves you added in this piece but looking to do one that has it visually 360 from all sides
That would make a great focal point - and you could change it seasonally as well, so constantly update it with the season. All round is easy to create - just keep turning it as you add in your flowers. The flower choices depend on your style and other colours, choices you have decor wise. But as a base design then just faux foliages would give a greasy display just on their own 😀🙋🏼♂️
John: ...visual impact, looks beautiful...
Janos: that stem. The stem, John. The Orchid stem. Arrrrgghhhhh...
Beautiful, as always, John. Love your work, John and Janos!
Thank you! Stem now where it should be 😆
😀🙋🏼♂️🌼
I really enjoyed and I love decorating with faux flowers
Thank you 😊

I enjoyed the use of the ginkgo branch. You don't see that in arrangements much. Lovely!
Thank you! Yes, first time I saw ginkgo as faux stems 🙂🙋🏼♂️

Entrance bouquet
I could imagine that in nice hotel or home. Ginkgo is my favourite part of whole arrangement
Well done 👏
Yes - ideal in that type of setting 😀 the Ginkgo is nice as it is different 🌼🙋🏼♂️
Lovely. I agree the quality of faux flowers is fantastic. Love the blossom 😍
Thank you 😊
Oh my! This is such a beautiful arrangement and I love how you explain everything!
Thank you 😊 🙋🏼♂️
Beautiful! I love working with artificial flowers, like you said they are so nice now! Thank you for your ideas!
Thank you 😊 🙋🏼♂️
I love good silk flowers. I used them all the time. Good job.
Thank you! Yes, they are a little undervalued I think 😀
That looks absolutely amazing! Would be lovely for the entrance of any function 🌹❤️⭐
Thank you! 😀🌼🙋🏼♂️
Imagine I have been order to make silk flowers and was Google about silk flowers and Joos you pop up bless you given me great idea appreciated you always beautiful design
I used Artificial Flowers outside in hanging baskets on old shed! They looked lovely all winter
That’s a good idea - and no watering 😀🙋🏼♂️

Ho! ho! ho! Green Giant 😀🌽
Lovely arrangement! I love watching you work away! Thank you for sharing, and of course one can reuse the flowers again!

Beautiful arrangement!!! A similar arrangement if purchased would cost $500 - $1000. Thank you for the quick and easy instructions.
Thank you so much 😊
John
That is so lovely! Thank you; it is a joy to watch you create.
At 5:54...I so want to readjust that escaping stem.
Thank you for the humanity, too, good sir.
Thank you! 😀🙋🏼♂️
I shall look for that stem 😀
Now adjusted 😀
@@FlowerJoos ...
Thank you for your replies!
I would love to see a design featuring coral colors.
And, I would love to see an Ikebana using flowering quince.
You seem to have access to all sorts of materials!
@@karengerber8390 sadly access a bit limited just now where I am - I like the quince idea 😀 great material to use for Ikebana 🙋🏼♂️🌼
Thanks for your video! I purchased many artificial flowers at a lower price on a website to DIY. More beautiful than I thought!! 😍🌺🌼🌹
Love me some Curly Willow.
It’s handy to have! 😀
Very beautiful and elegant looking...Love from NY !❤🙏
Hello NY 😀 thank you 🌼🦋
Great, loving big arrangements at the moment. Faux flowers are so much better these days. Most of my vases are glass but I’ve been raking up moss from the garden, drying it, then using it to disguise the stems and any foam or support.
That’s a good idea - and it’s a shame to avoid glass with faux flowers . The quality of faux are very good now 😀🌼
@@FlowerJoos first flowers are coming out in the garden so a nice fresh spring posy next I think. 💐
@@selina7150 perfect! Fresh spring flowers are joyful 🌷🌼
This is a beautiful arrangement. I would love one like this.❤

It was a mistake - fixed after the video was made ! I just didn’t notice at the time e! 🤪
Thank you for watching. - and asking! 😀🙋🏼♂️
It bothered me too. I thought he would see it. I loved the arrangement.
I like Cosmos! I bought some artificial used some stems to make loose circle shape then tied Cosmos in
Yes, cosmos is lovely. I will try and grow some next year 🌼🙋🏼♂️
Lovely
Very lovely! Thank you!!

Beautiful John. Faux flowers are really very good now. What do you think to mixing them with real flowers/foliage?

But now, I think you might struggle to know it’s a mix 😀🙋🏼♂️

Heel mooi ...

Beautiful...!!! but you left one stem out...didn't make the vase......take a look..??? lol
I know! I didn’t realise at the time but did when I did the photos! Well done for spotting it 😀🌼
Can change it for Christmas? Easter?
This is gorgeous. I want it! 🤎🌿
