Cheadle Flower Club meeting
CHEADLE Flower Club’s March meeting was a demonstration by Eleanor Davis from Oswestry with the title ‘Not just a bunch of flowers,’ based on a low budget and using mainly supermarket bought flowers.
Our Club Chairman Sheila Jones welcomed members and visitors to our meeting, everyone was thrilled to see many new faces at our club.
Eleanor’s demonstration began using a £5 bunch of white roses placed between two pieces of oasis covered and pinned with Laurel leaves, creating a beautiful simple display.
An Easter arrangement using a hessian covered wooden base and sisal covered recycled baked bean tins containing a variety of spring coloured tulips. An Easter bunny centrally placed completed this stunning seasonal arrangement.
A glass candelabra with an attached wicker wreath used just pink Arum lilies in the next arrangement, showing just how beautiful this can be with simply one type of flower.
Next a tall black vase held just five Gerberas again demonstrating how stunning and elegant arrangements can be using just one flower species.
A spring design of two homemade paper mache eggs held pussywillow, yellow gerbera, lisianthus, hyacinth, daffodils, tulips and hellebores thus resulting in a gorgeous display.
The grand finale was designed on a bowl covered with pink ribbon holding a variety of pink flowers including chrysanthemums, lilies, carnations, viburnum and pink roses giving a vibrant and beautiful array of colour.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful demonstration, Eleanor taught us there is no need to spend a huge amount on flowers when stunning arrangements can be created from very few flowers.
Our next meeting is a demonstration on Wednesday 17th April at the Cheadle Guild Hall Oakley Room with a demonstration by Dorothy Monk entitled ‘ As You Like It’ starting at 7.30pm. Price £6.00. Everyone can be assured of a warm welcome.
