There are lots of different names for this type of design, whether you call it a table arrangement, all round design, posy arrangement or circular design, the construction is the same.

This arrangement follows patterns and structure to make a formal design with a soft subtle colour scheme, its been arranged to be viewed from all round and is ideal for the centre of a table. This style can be used for dinner parties, wedding table centres or for the centre of a coffee table.

Next Monday, I'll make the same arrangement again, using the exact same contents and container to create an informal, loose version of the same design Don't forget to pop back next week

If you are new to arranging, take a few minutes to view my Back to Basics series which will explain how to create a very all round arrangement using a minimal amount of flowers.
