Newport Flower Show

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Want to brighten up your mom's day? Try bringing her a bouquet full of flowers. For this year's Mother's Day flowers are still the choice as gifts for mothers. Flower shops all over town earned huge revenues on the event of Mother's Day and until now that Mother's Day is 3 days over. Flowers indeed possess unique and timeless charm that instantly capture the liking of anyone- especially women.

Those who possess talents and would want to earn a living by being a florist will learn a thing or two from the free lessons and tutorials on floral arrangement. At the Newport Flower Show in Newport, Rhode Island spectators will have fun viewing the marvelous floral species of the locality. In here, local florists and business owners will be present to show their techniques in building different types of floral bouquet.

In the seminar he will teach the concept of "S" structure which is sometimes the guiding principle in making great looking and kick-ass floral arrangements. My uncle is a celebrated florist in our town who is one of the few who are commissioned by the event organizers to conduct a seminar about floral arrangement. The "S" structure consists of flower petals arranged in S curvature form when viewed from the front.

He is one fine florist in making dimensional floral pieces. The concept about building height and creating dimension and depth in floral arrangement will also be tackled by my uncle. His teachings include using the long stemmed flower on the center (of a round floral table arrangement) and gradually decreasing in height as it slope down the edges. He also points out the use of colors in creating depth and play at any floral arrangement.

Come at the Newport Flower Show and learn a tip or two! Bring your mother along, and have fun learning about floral arrangements together!
