Floral Installation Hacks: My Top Ten Waterless Flowers

Happy Thursday!

Today we are diving into Floral Installation Hacks: My Top Ten Waterless Flowers.

Now I love creating floral installations, these are the designs that make me feel proud! But floral installations can be really hard work work.

One of the biggest challenges I hear students worrying about is simply keeping your flowers alive and looking good. And I get it – crafting the right mechanics to keep your flowers alive is half the challenge of a great installation design.

If you find yourself asking, how do I provide a water source? How do I hide the mechanics? How do I stop it dripping? Then you’re going to want to check out this tutorial.

What if I told you there’s a way forward with your installation design where you don’t even need to think about water sources? Sounds pretty good right!

In this tutorial we’ll be covering:

  • What even are waterless flowers

  • Introducing you to TEN of my favourite varieties

  • Tips on when and how to use each flower

If you want to master creating luxurious archways, gravity defying hanging designs, and show stopping feature installations, then you’re going to want to know about these waterless flower varieties which can be your next installation heroes.
