In today's video, I'm gonna show you how to use a steamer basket
to make a simple Chinese new year floral arrangement
Hey, guys if this is our first time meeting,
my name is Donald Yim AIFD
I am a floral designer
but I'm also love to make youtube videos
to share my tips and experience
with people who have a passion for floral design
if you are passionate about fall design like me consider subscribing
during the Chinese new year
the most frequent question I got asked
is how to make a flower arrangement for my home?
or maybe want to make a gift for your Chinese friends?
also some people will ask me what is
what is the appropriate colors and flowers for the arrangements
and flowers for the arrangements
to me, the safest color will be red,
gold and yellow because the gold color represents treasure
because the gold color represents "treasure"
the red and yellow colors represent good luck!
just make sure no white color
because usually the white color is for the funeral
nowadays totally depends on what color your friends
or your customer likes
as long as bright and cheerful I think it's fine!
on the other hand, for the choice of the flowers
you can use long-lasting tropical stems
gladiolus and cherry blossom
which are the popular choice for the Chinese new year
so in this arrangement we also including two
traditional material bamboo sticks and steamer basket
and steamer basket these two things are not just tools
also it's part of our culture too!
okay without any further delay
let's move on to the project!
