Large Scale Arrangements

 

I love Tina (Platinum Floral Designs) for sharing this video with us! She and her team created the Tree of Life for the David Foster Miracle Weekend in Victoria. Here’s how she describes the Tree of Life…

“So if you are wondering - it was named the Tree of Life - because the David Foster Foundation helps support children who need organ transplants- the foundation also helps the families that need to be away from home OR lose a job to take care of the children in another city - great foundation - so we hung pictures of the children the foundation has saved and given life to - hence The Tree of Life.  I had 2.5 hours to get this thing in - up and decorated - so you can imagine it was intense - but like I said it was AMAZING.”

And the mechanics?

“Oh goodness - well my husband built a base out of wood - like in an octagon shape - the center octagon shape was taller than the outside - much taller - to hold the trees in place with wet sand - the wooden base was banded for extra support - the outer base was half filled with sand - then a layer of cellophane to seal off the sand - floral foam - and that's really about it - we used recycled trees - which were banded together with zap straps.... flowers covered the mechanics .”
