12. Ellen Frost shares how to make locally grown flowers feel luxurious as she designs this arrangement from scratch!

https://youtu.be/Y9Dfe3BZRhg

"In this video she takes on a customer request for a high-end arrangement (the kind that could sit at a country club or a black-tie wedding) using nothing but locally grown flowers from nearby farms.She walks through the choices that actually make a design read as upscale: vase selection, fragrance, color theory, and the balance of focal and line flowers. She's working with peonies, roses, snapdragons, stock, campanula, and ranunculus, and she gets specific about why locally grown blooms can hold their own against imported ones, and often bring more character to the table.If you've ever had a client ask for "elevated" or "sophisticated" and felt unsure how to translate that with what your local farms have in season, this video is for you." - Amy at Botanical Brouhaha
