Hi! This is Diana for expertvillage.com. We have our basic arrangement here and now I’m going to show you how to modify is slightly if you want a tall arrangement. I don’t think that you would want a tall arrangement at your dinner table, but if you had a buffet table it would be perfect. I’m going to use some of my leaves and I’m going to make them stick up in the center so I have a tall bunch of leaves here. I’m going to put it in the middle of the oasis so it sticks up tall. I’m going to take some other pieces of greenery too and also make them stick out. I think of this shape more of as a pyramid, so you can see that you’d like to have some tall leaves in the middle and spread out your round shape so it’s slightly taller. I’m going to take some of my flowers that have a very long stem and I’m going to put a flower bunch with some smaller flowers at the top because it makes it look prettier with the small ones at the top, and then a bunch that has some bigger bunches of flowers. A little bit lower. We’re keeping mind that we’re making a pyramid shape. Now I’m going to use some my tall mini carnations to fill in the pyramid shape. You can see we’re getting a tall arrangement and we’re going to keep filling in with our mini carnations and our daisies until we get the shape the we like.
