Bridesmaid’s bouquet

Finally! Got a chance to do a real bouquet…

As usual, the teacher demonstrated once on the cone-shaped sponge (not those normal wrapping as seen outside), and we followed suit…

It appeared to be easy, but when it was my turn to do, I didn’t know how to arrange the flowers (eustama) in equal distance from each other…The flowers also didn’t look very nice, having being flattened, I suppose…After the flowers, the tea leaves and baby’s breath went up to their places…

The teacher took a look at our masterpieces, then commented here and there… Most of us created a round shaped bouquet instead of the pear-shaped one…Ha! But guess it still came out unscathed…

Teacher said the bouquet could fetch a price of $60 in the market…the materials cost only $14.80…florists definitely earn a lot!

Walked all the way home with the bouquet in my hand, under the curious looks of passer-bys… Was deciding whether to give the bouquet to a colleague who’s leaving the company, or to mum for offering to the gods…Went for the latter, as the crushed flowers didn’t look very nice as gift…Ha!

Looking forward to next Thursday! We’ll be doing the bride’s bouquet!
