Hello and welcome again to the company into his channel.
My name's Nick Clark, and in today's video, we're very excited to show a brand new series
on how you can do floral design, floral styling, using preserved plants.
So this is part of our biophilia design, bringing nature into our interior, into the
manmade environment.
So let me introduce you to Denise.
She's going to show you how to make some of these products.
You can visit our shop.
It is in the description below the video, and you can also apply for some free samples.
So click on the link in the description and we can send you some of these products to try
for the trial yourself to make some of these displays.
So let's take a look at what Denise is offering today.
Hi, Denise here from Company Interiors.
Today, I'm continuing our series in full display using a variety of preserved foliage and
flowers from the company interiors line.
And I just want to show you how easy it is to put together a simple arrangement that you
can use in a bedroom and office wherever you like, and it doesn't require any floral
design skills. So first off, I just wanted to show you this pretty little pink vase with
some beautiful eucalyptus, populous, gorgeous public color, nice brown leaves and how
effective that is just on its own.
Just the leaves in a vase doesn't really need much else to make it beautiful.
But if you want to make it more of an arrangement, you can add some other elements to
give it some depth. So today I'm working with Red Ivy, beautiful dark red karbasi and a
pink DLs mean these elements are just going to give you some extra interest to make it in
to a pretty arrangement for your desk, entranceway, whatever you like, really.
So once you have your eucalyptus, I would say that's kind of starting point.
That's your biggest flower.
Just arrange those into whatever bottles or container you think you can go taller or
shorter, whatever you have.
I've cut them just down slightly to fit into this area.
So any tool you need for this project is a nice little pair of clippers.
So you take whatever pieces of either you have cut them into the shape length you want to
start inserting into your arrangement.
So I'm just going to intersperse these amongst the leaves of the eucalyptus.
So you want to do a slightly shorter pieces around the sides and then you're going to
save your taller pieces to go straight down the middle to give you your height.
Now, really, this is just a mix of leaves right now.
So you're just creating interest in your foliage.
Quite a few pieces, they have dark, dark reds, light reds, gives you some dimension,
as I said, this is not a complicated arrangement.
This is literally just putting a few pieces in a vase.
But you'll see when we're done how effective it is to bring these colors together.
You can pull off little leaves at the bottom if your pieces need to be trimmed.
These are preserved elements, as I said.
So it means that the water has been taken out of the product and replaced with glycerin.
So it preserves the natural flower or foliage in this case that they last forever.
I think that's coming along to already you can see now we just have eucalyptus in the ivy,
but just those two leaf products together give some nice dimension and depth to it.
And if I add another element, the pink flower I like bring in the lighter pink to this
arrangement because it makes a sort of slightly more fresh feel to it, even though it's
full. We're kind of in that transition period of September, summer into fall.
And, um, we don't want to look to winter just yet.
So when you start putting the lighter pink in there, it gives you a nice contrast.
So I'm not going to go ahead and clip some of these pieces and again and disperse them
throughout the arrangement. Shorter ones to the front and sides, taller ones in the
middle. I'll go ahead and do that.
All right, so I think that's coming on now we have three elements in the tea leaves and a
little pink flower, and you can see already how it's starting to come together.
Now, the one more piece I would like to put into this is the stability because of the
texture. I love the little round flower bud.
And I think that gives a nice element of texture to your arrangement.
So right now we have leaves and flowers.
And any time you're doing floral design, you want to try and create visual interest with
different shapes, different textures, different colors.
So as work working, these four elements here support those four elements, work nicely
together to give you the those contrasts, again, shorter pieces towards front
interspersed throughout your arrangement.
For go ahead and do this and you can check back in a few minutes.
Ok, so here we are with a little finished arrangement, as you saw how easy that was, just
to put a few pieces together, some different colors and textures makes a very pretty
little arrangement that you could use in lots of places in your home or your office.
So that was it for that one.
Check back in with us for our next video.
We're going to show you how to make a very pretty arrangement using a red, green
hydrangea and all these same elements.
And also a beautiful Hollerith.
