IPBI DPC Bandung Monthly Gathering: A Flower Decoration Demo for Easter

Hi All, long time no see, hope you guys are all ok.

Since we’re nearing Easter (wow time does fly so fast) as usual we’ll give you some ideas for flower decorations. Unlike last year’s Easter flower demo which full of serious theme arrangements, this year’s flower arrangements are more casual. A little bit taking much time for the structure but quite simple for the flower arranging. As we all know that Easter is always identical with eggs, that’s why Mrs. Ida Hermanto and Mrs. Kitty Catharina, the floral designers this time, use decorative eggs on their design, even the last one use a bunny head miniature on her design. She said that once upon the time, it is said the first animal to came out after the winter ends is rabbit.  Whether it is true or not, we don't know. However, the adding of those accessories have made the flower arrangement look more beautiful and really typical Easter.

And if you imagine the floral arrangement for Easter should be white, yellow, orange and purple, forget it!! That's the old opinion, now it's more colorful. You can use any color you like, just like the following image shown:

And here’s a sneak peek on the first session. Look at the nest made from natural sisal mesh and also the colourful eggs on top. Those eggs were made by Mrs Ida's child. Gorgeous!!

The finished look, this flower arrangement used grouping, basing, terracing and sheltering techniques. For the complete step by step tutorial, you can view them here.

For the beginners who would like to try this flower arrangement, we must remind it in advance that it's quite expensive since it needs a lot of materials. It's more suitable for commercial flowers hamper for Easter.

And the second session to perform the demo is Mrs. Kitty Catharina. Most of the materials she used here are flowers and foliage taken from her garden. So, who said garden flowers can't be beautifully arranged? This one proves it! 

For the complete step by step tutorial, you can view them here.

The detailed look seen from above. The bunny head miniature looks cute, right?
