We had a brilliant day today, Susanna had brought some beautiful flowers; peonies, roses, hydrangeas, pinks, creams, whites, they were stunning.She demonstrated several ideas that were full of vintage style, using birdcages and accessories such as cake stands, cut glass, candle sticks, ribbons ..... and made it look so easy!
Then everyone had a turn to make a vintage arrangement in a pastel pail. Each working from similar flowers, it was amazing how they all turned out so differently. Susanna then got everyone to style their arrangement so that the whole look was vintage not just the flowers. We got some really pretty photographs.
I love peonies and roses!
We had a delicious lunch of pea, mint and basil soup, served with home-made bread, followed by some vintage inspired Cupcakes, what else!?
After lunch, we were taught how to wire flowers and leaves to make corsages, a very useful skill, a bit fiddly and definitely one to practice, but they looked ever so pretty.
