- How to make a long flower arrangement for a long dining table.
Ingredients - peach and white gerbera, white gladiola, white roses, white spray carnations, long ivy trails, eucalyptus, and French/Italian ruskus
In this design we wanted to make an arrangement that can act as a runner down the centre of a long table - so we want the flowers to be short and low. Using the ivy allows us to green the base without adding volume - which is ideal!
Watch the video to see this technique - and you can vary the flower content or colours to match your scheme. The end result is a long low design - just perfect for decorating but not dominating a table.

Absolutely beautiful John,loved the idea of pinning the ivy. It makes it so neat for a table,delightful colour scheme thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Hello to you in Ireland 😀 thank you!
Lovely John! My coworker and I have said all greens and just a few blooms is all we want on our last caskets.
That’s a nice choice - natural and understated but perfect 💕
Thank you John for all your videos. I have been watching you for about 3 years now. Thanks to you, I have done 2 quite big weddings in Devon now for 2 close friends and everything was based on your wonderful teachings. I did detailed hair combs, bouquets, display items and buttonholes, etc and had some truly amazing comments. I thought of you. My secret teacher. I can’t thank you enough. Hope you know how special you are x
Thank you so much - that is really the best feedback, and sharing how to create designs and hopefully helping people at whatever stage they are at in their learning journey, was really our aim. So to hear this feedback is just perfect.
You obviously enjoy the creativity that flowers bring - so please keep creating and designing 😀🌼🙋🏼♂️
@@FlowerJoos You gave me the confidence, to have a go and now I’m hooked! Thank you again, I love to see all your ideas and techniques! 🌸🌼🌺
Would make a lovely casket spray for a full couch casket. Beautiful design. I like the idea of splitting the glads.
Thank you 😊 they split well for a design like this 😀🌼
It really is long and low…. and beautiful!
Thank you 😀💕
I find your videos absolutely inspiring. As an amateur florist with no training, even I have been able to make something fairly beautiful by following your tips and advice. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄
Watching all your videos has inspired me to grow some of my own foliage. I've decided to grow two types of pittosporum in pots on my patio. Maybe add ivy to it as well. I love this design and it's given me an idea for a party coming up.
That’s great - and it gives a double purpose, something in the garden and then it’s also useable. 😀 pittosporum is very useful.
Love this arrangement and perfect inspiration for confirmation flowers
Thank you 😊
Thank you, another beautiful display and easy instructions. 💜🎊💜🎊
Thank you so much 😊 😀
Hi John! You had me at "ivy"! I love the way you've used it here, along with the inclusion of the other greens. With you, I might have been satisfied with the "all green" arrangement. However, the finished product is exquisite, and would do any table proud. Hope you and all are well.
Thank you! I am good thank you - getting good weather just now and it’s beautiful. Hope it’s good with you 😀🙋🏼♂️
@@FlowerJoos following the remnants of the hurricane that went through a week ago, we are enjoying near perfect weather. Happy to know you are as well.
Vos créations sont toujours magnifiques. Bonjour de la France
Merci beaucoup! 😀🌸🙋🏼♂️
Gorgeous
Georgious arrangement John I love the way you make use of the ivy by pinning them to cover the mechanics.👌👍
Thank you! 🌼
Great tip about using the leaves from the glads. I always threw them away 🙈
Thank you 😀 well, they were paid for and they make good foliage! 🌼🙋🏼♂️
I luv this. Simple and beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing with us !!
Thank you 😊
A really beautiful arrangement John. I love the use of the ivy and the way you have kept the arrangement quite neat. It would be great for the top table at a wedding. More ideas! Wonderful x
Thank you 😊 that ivy was superb for this design , but you could also use French ruskus in the same way. 😀🙋🏼♂️
Thank you John.Another beautiful arrangement.

Thank you 😀🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Me encanta este señor según trabaja. La pena es que no entiendo el idioma.
Un abrazo desde España
¡gracias! Lo siento solo por el inglés, creo que puedes encontrar subtítulos en tu configuración. saludos a ti en la hermosa España 🙋🏼♂️🌼
Wonderful tutorial.Looks so beautiful.Like it
Thank you 😊
Thanks,
It's beautiful! When do you usually prepare this? Can it be done a day or two before the occasion? How long will it last? Thanks!
Thank you 😊 yes it can be made in advance - the day before is ideal. How long it lady’s depends on a lot of factors - but roughly 7-12 days 😀
@@FlowerJoos Thanks for the reply. I really do appreciate it.
Beautiful 😍 Love all your designs ❤
Thank you so much 😊 🌸
So beautiful and useful 🌸💐
😊thank you 🙋🏼♂️
Boa tarde , não entendo nada de inglês , mas o arranjo está lindo.
gracias 😊 🌼
It's awesome
Thank you 😊
My task in college today is a long and low arrangement and I can guarantee I will have to make it in a certain way which I will pull apart once I’m home so I can do this instead!
I even have the same foliage and flowers (apart from gladiolus) in the same colours.
😀 thank you ! It might be the same way maybe?
@@FlowerJoos it won’t be, it’ll be very regimented. I work like you in a much more relaxed way with a true feel for natural sculptural beauty. I too don’t care if it bends this way or that with some arrangements. Nature in a container as opposed to poker straight foliage etc. I love your work John, it’s fab.
@@SH-ig7wt thank you so much 😊 I think our way is better then!
Thanks for your reply. One thing about your channel is that you are down to earth and easy to understand. You have great ideas that would help new and professional floral designers. In your videos you cover basic things like weddings, cold glue corsages, funeral sprays, every day, holiday, and some over the top designs. See some ideas from,
Floral Design Institute
The Floral design Institute is superb - I know someone who did their online course and it was well structured and clear. Saying that, she really put the work in - and that’s the case with everything!
Leanne is very nice to watch and when they do a live session it’s good to be part of the community! 😀🙋🏼♂️
Lovely arrangement roughly how long it? wud it be suitable for church table?
Hello - you can make the length to suit - the only thing that restricts it is the length of the materials themselves. Yes, this would be suitable in a church - for an altar you can make it more one-sided, and even cascading a little so it can sit on the edge of the altar. 🌼😀
This is gorgeous! When are we having dinner?
Are you cooking 😀 🌼🌼🌼
@@FlowerJoos Alright--be right over.
Gorgeous!
Thank you 🌼
👍
😀🙋🏼♂️🌼
Love this, and all of your videos, could you please show something similar without using foam . 🙏
Thank you! Yes - that is a good suggestion - we hope to show more designs without foam going forward. 😀🙋🏼♂️
@@FlowerJoos thank you, I'm trying to research about a foam free installation for side of arch too but there isn't much out there.
@@cindyseeley2 I have seen that done with jars or tubes and it looked great - you would not have known - maybe worth creating your own bespoke reusable arch frame? Good to have options 😀🙋🏼♂️
@@FlowerJoos ooh now there's an idea 💡👍
@@cindyseeley2 pin Van Akkar made an all p,attic orchid tube base - added chicken wire to a cheap arch, then added a lot of tubes then light greenery ( smilax ) then a lot of big roses - it was stunning .
Jam jars version good for a full garden style arch, but more heavy so need a stronger frame 😀
Love
Thank you 😊
It would be great to organise your videos into an actual course for new and old designers. Reasons :
You are a great down to earth teacher.
Floral Design Institute offers online courses that have been very
successful.
You do many different types of design, really all basic designs that new and old designers could use as basic skills for new designers, and/or update old designers..
This is something we have discussed! But make specific material aimed at different levels - and different too the videos on here ( or why would you subscribe 😀).
That’s great to hear that from a viewer 😀🙋🏼♂️🌼
But maybe we organise the ones already here as well 😀
Can you please tell me the size of your foam? I am trying to do something similar but I am not sure what size of foam is the right one. Thank you 😊
Hi Ann, it’s just the standard blocks we use. They come commercially in a box of 20 - and each block is 23cm x 10.5cm x 8cm. Then you can cut to whatever size you like if needed 😀🌼
I'm currently making my own wedding flowers arrangements with dried flowers, I was wondering what the best approach is for travelling to the venue with these large arrangements? I'm so scared when I get there the design will be completely ruined 😢
How long will the Ivy last????
👍❤️
😀🙋🏼♂️
How do u attach a flower swag to a corner of the bride table no one shows video of this after you put your tablecloth and a swag across front how do I attach flowers to this please help
Hi there. If I was adding a garland along the front of a bridal table I woukd pin it on using pearl headed pins - so nice strong ones. At the points you want to attach take little stitch into the cloth with the pin on the top edge, then add the garland and pin back into the cloth. The pin sits vertical catching the garland and the point is at the back facing down. That is fir more of a rope style - for heavier garlands it might require extra pinning from behind in other areas.
Please i have a question, Why you wet the foam?
The foam provides a water source for the flowers as well as support. 🌼
Floral Design Institute has both basic in person courses as well as on -line courses. Like you they have projects each week free. I am an old designer, a graduate of Rittners Flower School (Boston, MA (1964). Feel free to email me directly.
I love Rittners! Their videos are great 😊 and again on CZcams so anyone can access and learn. I think I’m old school as well, my first boss was very classic with her lines and form.
Thank you for reaching out and supporting us 😀🙋🏼♂️
You are so good and talented but you might consider leading the way into banning floral foam…. So many other options nowadays ?
Thank you - yes, we do want to take this on board. There are a couple of new versions from Oasis coming out just now - one is very similar to the Agra wool and the other is looking interesting as well.
The best situation will be an eco version that is fully compatible and useful commercially. A lot of alternative options are less commercial but ideal for home use.
🌼🙋🏼♂️
