LLRE Martadinata 84 on Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 10 - 12 am. It was attended by approximately 50 people from various backgrounds such as flowers entrepreneurs, florists, flowers hobbyist ... etc.

Mr. Natamadya brought his team, Mr. Hendra, Mrs. Hani, Mrs. Tania, Mrs. Natalia and Mr. Oei. They brought some semi-finished flower arrangements so that in about 2 hours they could demonstrate 6 items of 'Easter' theme. Very practical and time saving, isn't it?

Most of the flower arrangements being demonstrated refers to expressionist, a basic form which was developed into such a way that allows being other forms. According to Mr. Natamadya the idea came from spring in Europe. He said that it was commonly celebrated there and the colour was mostly yellow-orange-brown, or around the earth colour.

No more words winded, here it is the pictures.
