Christmas week this year, my boss wanted me designing the entire time! It was quite an honor to be trusted with that kind of responsibility.
Above is a picture of an arrangement I made for myself at the end of the Christmas week, but the entire week was full of making arrangements like these for customers. That is primarily what I did: centerpieces.
Aside from the oblong Christmas centerpieces, I also made round centerpieces like the one below. There are two views: top view and side view. I apologize for the low quality; I took them with my cell phone.
This particular centerpiece did not call for a candle.
My favorite part about this week was learning how to make ribbon tucks, rather than full-on bows. I really, really like the simple elegance it adds to the arrangements. And they are much easier than real bows. :)
I also made a few Teleflora arrangements. Below is Peppermint Posies. I think it has too many greens and not enough flowers in it, but we were running seriously short on red and white flowers by this time of the week.
What a valuable work week this has been. I am looking forward to being trusted with more responsibilities like these and being able to improve on my abilities to design.
