I really appreciate you and your videoes. Thank you
Love, all your work.
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful 😍 the colours really work, when you added the pink carnations and lilac roses the lisianthus didn’t look out of place at all.. you should trust your instincts and experience. Thank you once again for an inspiring tutorial.
Hi, absolutely stunning arrangement, you have inspired me, again. Thank you for your fresh, never ending ideas, and for sharing your skills and experience.
It’s really pretty, Sharon 🌸
That's beautiful, Sharon. As my son would say to me, "Don't doubt yourself, you're the florist and the expert. It's turned out very soft and elegant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So true! I always think its good for beginners to know that I doubt myself too, even with loads of experience
Those grasses really add a soft texture, lovely arrangement
Thank you, I really love grasses
That’s beautiful! I like the idea of the wider sides and shorter. I really like it. Thanks for all your tutorials.
You are so welcome! Without the pointed Delphinium, it would also look like a shorter, wider posy
Love the colours and the design.
Thanks so much 😊
That’s turned out quite pretty so need to have worried. I think you’re probably right the hydrangea would have been okay if you’d left it white 🙂. Too hot here for the flowers so enjoying some inspiration for when the temperature cools.
Harika oldu ne kadar beceriklisiniz beğeniyle izledim teşekkürler Türkiye'den 😊 Hülya 💐
Thanks again
Did in the center cover all because only one leaf on each side Tks
Sorry! I'm not sure what you mean?
Very nice
Thank you
Sharon’s . I like your flowers arrangements looking beautiful ❤
Thanks so much, it must be time for some more Sunflowers, because they are back in season
I can't find you on Facebook, can you tell me your Facebook account name
Very Beautiful!
Very Beautiful!
Love the arrangement. My bigest problem is that I would have to do another FIVE vases for the Church and making sure you would have enought flowers and greenary for every vase would be a nightmare.BUT it does give me a guidline of sorts......Regards from Australia.
Once you've mastered one arrangement, you can copy it for the other five. Once you have a formula or a pattern to follow it becomes easier to plan for more arrangements. Thanks for watching
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you, don't forget to watch the full tutorial
Absolutely beautiful Sharon. I love this natural garden style. 🥰
Thank you
Awful
Thank you Peter for your inspiring and uplifting comment, I am always delighted to hear such fabulous feedback. I would be really interested to hear why you feel the design is awful and I'm sure that my many subscribers would love to hear your feedback. I look forward to a more lengthy explanation and some advice on how I could improve. I hope you are having a fabulous day, just like me and helping and supporting others in a positive way. I would be disappointed to find you are just having a bad day and trying to inject your own negativity into someone else's live. I'm excited to wait for you feedback and a detailed critique of my floral design.
Awful
Well, thank you for your kind words. Would you like to expand on your review and explain to the followers why it is awful. I'm sure they would appreciate a good comprehensive review rather than just one word! Or are you just having a bad day today? 😁
Excellent explanation thank you!🥰
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, let me know if there is anything else you would like explained
Again I just love this flowers and colours. Having picked flowers from my cutting garden yesterday would love to have a go😊Thanks
Go for it! This style is perfect for garden flowers, just arrange them as you see them growing in the garden. Simple!
Absolutely beautiful, I love clashing colours. Thanks as ever❤😊
My pleasure 😊I love this colour combination, its so vibrant and uplifting. It would cheer anyone up
Love this more natural style. It could make quite an economical altar/aisle arrangement.
Definitely! An it can be done with such an array of flowers for different times of the year. Imagine this style at Christmas, displayed on a mantlepiece. Just gorgeous
Çok güzel teşekkürler 😊
Thank you so much for watching, I;m delighted you are enjoying the tutorials.
Türkiye'den merhaba sharon dilinizi bilmiyorum ama izliyorum çiçekleri çok güzel dizayn ediyorsunuz o vazonun içine koyduğunuz hamur gibi bişey neo çiçekler gerçekmi yoksa fabrika çıkışı plastikmi ama çok harika oldu teşekkürler 😊 Hülya 💐
Thank you so much for watching. Do you know you can use subtitles to watch in your own language?
Türkiye'den merhaba sharun ilkkez izledim çiçeklerinize ve süslemenize bayıldım çok hoşuma gitti çiçeği seviyorum ama apartman dairesinde yaşadığım için ev içinde 3 tane saksıda çiçeğim var fırsat buldukça diğer videolarınızıda izleyip beğeni tuşuna basarım aboneyim 😊adım Hülya 💐
I am delighted you are enjoying the videos, thank you so much for watching
Very pretty 🧡
Thank you! 😊
Amazingly beautiful and fresh, and so original
Thank you
Lindo !
Thank you so much
Stunning. Thankyou for the 3,5, 8 explanation. Have you got a video or tutorial on that ?
Thank you. I always wonder if my explanation makes sense. There is a new contemporary online course due next week. It will be available on the website for £95, 5 lessons.
I love this Thankyou . Here in New Zealand we are mid winter so excited to try it in spring. Is there another way I could do this without oasis ?
Yes you can! You could use fibreflora or agrawool or find a container that is deep enough to.hold bottles and place your flower in there.
Try this video ua-cam.com/video/HbQHqtPvoPY/v-deo.html
Beautiful as always! Thank you, Sharon.
Thank you so much!
How delightful! So lovely to sit and watch Sharon. Thank you
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying and thank you for your comments and support
This is beautiful 😍
Thank you, I wasn't sure it was going to be liked because its less formal
That’s beautiful Sharon, a great idea to use half the oasis, I will try that with my Advent design this year which goes on my fireplace.
Please do! That would look amazing
Gorgeous, love the natural look
Thank you!!
Lovely Sharon. ❤
Thanks again
Dear Sharon, this is Asha from India. Thanks a ton for this wonderful tutorial. So grateful.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful
your accent is lovely!! the flower piece is beautiful too, great job!!
Thank you so much!
Wow! Just…..wow ❤
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it
So, so pretty - lovely design and colour palette. I also love AFS - I buy a lot of faux florals from them 😍
I totally agree! A great supplier with a huge range of items
Can we use roses for this arrangement?
Yes of course, any single flower would be brilliant 😁
delicious!
Thank you 😋
I do like the style =) & I really enjoy hearing your thought process..... watching you try, then a little later - maybe move a piece. thank you so much Sharon. I am really enjoying your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
love it! you are so talented =)
Thank you so much! Thats such a lovely comment
bravo ! just fabulous =)
