How to make a flower arrangement - FLORISTRY/FLOWER ARRANGING - Flowers for Chinese New Year

This month just in time for Chinese New Year, I've created a flower arrangement in floral foam. For this flower design I've taken inspiration from Chinese culture and symbolism to design and create a flower arrangement to interpret an Chinese theme. This style of interpretative flower arranging is often used in competitions and is ideal for creating interesting and dramatic shop window displays based around a certain theme.
