Waterfall Contemporary Arrangement
Waterfall or Cascade arrangement
Time: 22 minutes and 24 seconds | Season: All Year Round
In this demonstration, our tutor will share with you how to create a design known as a waterfall arrangement. The style was introduced to Britain by Gregor Lersch, a German Master florist. This style is mainly for aesthetics, with great panache and impact. The plant materials fall to one side of the overall composition.
Top tips: Balance is achieved by using a combination of shorter denser to balance the longer and lighter materials, the visually heavier flowers in the centre (closer to the foam) and placing the finished the design at an angle.

Very unusual and beautiful arrangement. Is it easy to keep hydrated?
Hello Isabel. Thank you for your question. Ideally the design would need water every day to keep hydrated, so not an ideal design for placing in an inaccessible place! To allow better hydration, select a deep container to sit inside the top flower pot i.e. a repurposed large yogurt pot. This will offer a larger reservoir for water, and therefore avoiding the need to top up the container so frequently. Hope this helps.
