Nativity Scene 2011 Tutorial part 3: Floral Decoration and Finishing Touch

The hut had been assembled, sweets garland hanging nicely, and now we came to the floral part.. yeaah!!!

For any Christmas decor, poinsettia is almost mandatory. Right here we used both red and white poinsettia plants in pots. Since we're using a lot of these, the local variation was used, which only cost IDR 10.000 per pot. These will be put in front and sides of the stage.

For the back sides, we used these silver grass pots...

These pots just need to be arranged, like you see above, below the sweets garland we put the red poinsettia first, then the white ones at the bottom ...

While arranging the pots, white sand was poured on the sides of the hut, filling out the empty gap. Between the pots, we poured medium sized white stones to fill the gaps. In the end most of these stones falling.

At first design, the floral decor consist only of life potted plant, which don't require much maintenance compared to flower arrangements. Alas, due to Christmas rush, there weren't enough poinsettia potted plants available, so we finally decided to use flower arrangements. For this arrangement, we just used flowers that had been purchased by our coordinator, of white roses and gerberas.

The foliage consists of ruscus, leather leaf, star asparagus leaf.

It's almost 07.00 PM when we finally finished everything... so tireeddd......
