Munday Vibes Arrangement
Written by Michael Munday
The Blooming News invited the Grinch to the table for a delightful and fun foray into creating weird and wacky holiday arrangements that strike the perfect festive cord. Designer, Munday Vibes enthusiastically embraced the assignment, utilizing products sourced from Mellano & Company at The Original Los Angeles Flower Market, and shares the step-by-step process of making an arrangement so exquisitely quirky, every Who down in Who-ville would rejoice. Prepare to have your heart grow three sizes as you discover how to create the ultimate holiday design loaded with Grinch-mas happiness.
First off you have to start by getting in the spirit and watching the Grinch!
Create a mood board for the arrangement. When I was watching I was inspired but the shapes of the mountains and the way the grinch enjoyed waste as art.
Hit up the flower market and get to shopping and sourcing the blooms/ materials. I shopped at Mellano, Choice, GM Floral, and Moskatels.
Prep all of your florals and vessel. Give each bloom a fresh cut at the bottom and put in water. To prep the vessel cut and size chicken wire to fit and fill with water and plant food.
Turn on your jams and get to creating! Play around with shape, movement, density, levels. I used green floral wore to accomplish some of the arch shapes in my design.
Once the blooms are placed time to focus on the accents. I used a hammer to crush tree ornaments. And hand tied ribbon bows out of silk and strips of bandana.
You now have a grinch worthy center piece for your dinner!
