How to Arrange Flowers in a Jug in a Relaxed Meadow Style

What You Will Learn?

• In this flower workshop you’ll learn how to arrange flowers in a jug in a meadow style. .
• I’ll show you how to choose your flowers, ways to prepare your flowers so they last longer and how to arrange the foliage and flowers in the jug so they mimic a meadow look. This project is great if you’re arranging flowers as a hobby, creating wedding flowers, putting together flowers for a party or even if you want to relax and find a creative way to use your hands and bring nature into your home all at once..
• Gain floral skills so next time you’re given flowers as a gift or pick some up from the shop, you’ll arrange them in water with confidence and you’ll also have the techniques to keep them lasting as long as possible..
• Taking the time to prepare flowers and place them in an arrangement is an act of mindfulness which is a soothing remedy for our busy lives. In this post on my blog all about the benefits of flowers, I talk about how flowers are so rewarding when we have a go at arranging them. .
• This is a beginner level class and I’ll take you through each of the flower arranging stages. If you do have any questions, you can contact me here on Instagram @WebbandFarrer or share your work in the project gallery. .
• Throughout the class you’ll learn:.
• You’ll then use all these skills to arrange the flowers in the jug to create a wild and meadowy feel..
• In the flower workshop I’ll show you the ways to use different flower sizes to reflect a countryside meadow look. .
• This relaxed project is great if you love a natural and rustic look with your flowers. I also chose to use a jug as the vessel to hold the flowers because I feel like we’ve all got a jug in the kitchen cupboard that we use for Summer drinks. .
• Your finished jug design will look beautiful on the kitchen table, as a centre piece at a dinner party and adds a relaxed countryside look. Another way you can use the skills you’ll learn in the class is to arrange flowers in all sorts of vases and vessels you’ve got around your home. The same method applies to lots of other vases and vintage pots you might have in your cupboards or on display..
• To get the most from this project, relax when you’re putting your design together and if your jug arrangement is more wild-look than you’d originally expected just pretend you wanted to go very rustic all along..
