Leafy Couture

Online Flower School

We created a spring tablescape using a mixture of twigs, bulbs and fresh flowers. This scene can be easily changed as the seasons move on. It is a scene you can create to match the size of the area you are wanting to dress. It can be adapted for weddings and for dinner parties or just for your mantelpiece. It is ideal for bulbs as they don’t need that much up keep. The hazel twigs can be used again in a future design or you could use foraged twigs. Be careful when using on a dining table, make sure no food is near the bulbs and that you have a protective cover on the base to stop any furniture getting marked. Cant wait to see your creations!
