Description of the arrangement

The purpose of the arrangement was to learn how to properly arrange a 12 stem
bouquet. There were 12 medium sized flowers, greenery, and small filler flowers.
The main colors in my arrangement specifically are red,white, and green.There was
no real theme, just a red color scheme.
Materials List
12 Carnations
3 Leather Leafs
3 white filler flowers

Make a grid on your vase with water proof tape

Put your tallest carnation in the center of the grid
Make a collar of leather leaf around the outside of the grid
Put four other carnations in a square around the center flower, about

one inch shorter

5. Place the rest of the carnations, shorter than all the others evenly
throughout the arrangement, creating a domed structure
6. Place the white filler flowers in any gaps in the arrangement
Standards Addressed in this Arrangement
Standards addressed in this arrangement include, making a standard 12 stem
arrangement, correctly displaying a dome shape with the flowers, evenly dispersing
flowers, and color schemes
Critique
I would personally change the colors from red to peach, but it was not anything
technical, just preference. Other than that I might have wanted to change the
positioning of my leatherleaf a bit more.

Summary
Overall, I learned how to make a 12 stem arrangement, and how to make a grid on
my vase to place my flowers in. I also learned how to properly size my flowers so
that the center is the tallest and you can visually see the square of the ther
flowers around the center.
