BYU-I Wedding Show- Trend meets Tradition

I was one of the Co-Chairs in charge of the 2010 Flower Show. It was such an amazing experience to plan for a couple months and then to see it all come together. This was a group project I helped with for the show. I designed the initial structure and then we had the welding department create it. There was a mirror image of this on the other side that made a nice archway.
Since I was "in charge" I didn't have the opportunity to design much, when I discovered a place in need of an arrangement I took the opportunity and made this...

This was my interpretive piece. I interpreted the painting "An Act of Compassion" by Don Stivers. If you look closely you can see three circles created by the twigs, these represent two men and a canteen.

Every year in the program brings a new challenge for bouquet design. This year my challenge was to make a structure. I made this structure by stringing crochet thread, that had been soaked in sugar water, on a balloon. Each flower was then inserted through the bottom to make the bouquet. It was made of beautiful hot pink garden roses, plum hyacinth, and deep purple sweet peas. It smelled amazing.
This was the whole group that participated.
Romney is be best professor ever! He did so much to help us get the show running, so we got him a tie in each of the 6 color trends that we represented during the show.
