157
00:05:23,033 --> 00:05:27,866
with the blooms sitting right

158
00:05:24,633 --> 00:05:29,233

159
00:05:27,233 --> 00:05:31,666
You'll notice

160
00:05:27,866 --> 00:05:33,000

the chartreuse green

00:05:34,433 --> 00:05:39,900

colors bubble up.

166
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:44,100

175

Our last two pieces of flax leaf

200
00:06:46,033 --> 00:06:49,633
are bent on the front

201
00:06:47,266 --> 00:06:52,000
and the back,

202
00:06:48,466 --> 00:06:54,533
so they almost look like

203
00:06:49,633 --> 00:06:55,333
a little ribbon of foliage

204
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,866
through our arrangement.

205
00:06:54,533 --> 00:06:58,700
This is going to set

206
00:06:55,333 --> 00:06:59,966
on the center of our table,

207
00:06:56,866 --> 00:07:01,200
and those horizontal lines

208
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:02,466
are relaxing.

209
00:06:59,966 --> 00:07:04,566
People can still talk

210
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:07,100
over the top,

211
00:07:02,466 --> 00:07:08,500
and the horizontal nature

212
00:07:04,566 --> 00:07:10,200
of this arrangement is calming,

213
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,433

215
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:16,733
We'll enhance it more

216
00:07:11,433 --> 00:07:18,400
by using lavender chargers,

217
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:19,500
white plates, purple napkins,

218
00:07:16,733 --> 00:07:21,466
and I created some decorative

219
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,866
napkin rings

220
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:26,133
out of metallic wire.

221
00:07:21,466 --> 00:07:27,766
I simply twisted these

222
00:07:22,866 --> 00:07:29,566
so they can hold a carnation.

223
00:07:26,133 --> 00:07:31,933
Using that coloration

224
00:07:27,766 --> 00:07:33,566
to set our table

225
00:07:29,566 --> 00:07:35,000
and the style of design

226
00:07:31,933 --> 00:07:36,866
allows us to create

227
00:07:33,566 --> 00:07:36,866
a calming mood

00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,866

233
00:07:51,733 --> 00:07:58,533
Color blocking is a great way to

234
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,633
create an impactful arrangement.

235
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,800
We have four different types

236
00:07:58,533 --> 00:08:03,633
of flowers.

237
00:07:59,633 --> 00:08:06,500
We can add these separately and

238
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:09,000
intermingle them all together.

239
00:08:03,633 --> 00:08:11,333
Or it's more interesting for us

240
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:12,800
to do big swaths of color

241
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,033
and block the colors together.

242
00:08:11,333 --> 00:08:14,833
Let me show you how this works.

243
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,166
We've got these beautiful yellow

244
00:08:14,033 --> 00:08:18,700
tulips.

245
00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:21,500
I'm going to cut the entire

246
00:08:16,166 --> 00:08:23,600
bunch and drop it

247
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:26,133
into one side of the vase.

248
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:27,200
We'll add some orange tulips.

249
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,366
Tulips do their own arranging.

250
00:08:26,133 --> 00:08:29,366
They're affected by the light

251
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,100
and they're phototropic,

252
00:08:28,366 --> 00:08:31,433
so they'll move towards

253
00:08:29,366 --> 00:08:32,100
the light.

254
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,500
Several days from now,

00:08:31,433 --> 00:08:36,866
this arrangement

256
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:39,800
will have arranged itself

257
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:41,233
to the light source it has.

258
00:08:36,866 --> 00:08:42,433
We use one bunch of iris.

Got a block of yellow,

00:08:41,233 --> 00:08:46,266

another block of yellow,

262
00:08:44,333 --> 00:08:50,466

263
00:08:46,266 --> 00:08:52,000
with our pincushion protea.

264
00:08:48,633 --> 00:08:54,033
Using color blocking

265
00:08:50,466 --> 00:08:54,033
allows each flower

266
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,033
to have its own importance.

267
00:08:54,266 --> 00:08:56,700
It's a great way

00:08:55,133 --> 00:08:56,700
