"Four in a row" - Schreurs

"Four in a row" OASIS� Ambassador Sally Bennett shows us how she surprises the customers of her flower shops with simple yet elegant arrangements. Here she shows us a nice example of arrangements that can be made easily and quickly in every flowershop. A wonderful present to give to the teacher at the beginning of the new school year.
Material needed for four in a row - A few stems of mini gerberas Suri� and Bridal Kimsey� and standard gerberas Heatwave� and Maroussia�- Oasis� floral foam- 4 x Oasis� Clear Acrylic cubes 10 x 10 x 10 cm- Oasis� Abaca- Oasis� Skelleton leaves- Aspidistra leaves- Oasis� Bullion wire and Metallic wire- Oasis� Midelino Sticks- berry, foliage
		Cubes, Skelleton leaves and Bullion wire Besides the colourful gerberas the cubes are the focal points of these arrangements. It is best to decorate your cubes with different materials. In this series we used 3 different cube decorations: 2x skelleton leaves, 1x abaca and 1x aspidistra leaves with metallic wire.The acrylic cubes are a smart alternative to glassware, with benefits of being lighter and safer.
Securing skelleton leaves to the floral foam Stick the leaves with the two toned bullion wire at the foam until the foam is covered. Place the covered foam in the acrylic cube.
		Aspidistra leaves and Abaca Cut off the stems of the aspidistra and secure the leaves with gold coloured metallic wire. Use a lot of this wire. The other piece of floral foam can be covered with a fashionable colour of Abaca material.Also these two covered pieces of floral foam can be placed in the cubes.
Adding the gerberas In these small arrangements, it is advisable to use first class gerberas, as they are the focal points. I really like this red mini gerbera Suri�. She has a wonderful bright colour and an amazing vaselife. Due to the good quality gerberas your customer, and in this case, the teacher can enjoy four in a row for up to a fortnight. Adding some berries and foliage fills the foam nicely.
		Finishing touch To finish this cube, I use a new material, the bendy Midelino sticks. They add a joyful feeling to this little arrangement
Ready: a series of four attractive little arrangements One of these little arrangements is maybe not enough, but four in a row have a smashing effect!
