Customer story drives floral design from @calma_floral

The creator shares a story about a customer's request for a 'masculine' flower arrangement for a 'guy's night.' She humorously interprets this by choosing 'hairy balls' (milkweed) and proceeds to build the arrangement, showing her process of prepping the vase, adding the milkweed to create a shape, and then filling it in with amaranthus. She concludes by showing the final product and asking for the audience's opinion.

Transcript excerpt

This guy ordered an arrangement and asked that it be masculine because it's for guys' night. And I was like, okay. Well, what's more masculine than some hairy balls? Anyways, I prepped my vase with some chicken wire and started using the hairy balls, which are more scientifically called milkweed, to create a triangular shape in my vase. I then used amaranthus to fill in the holes, and I wanted to create movement with the amaranthus, so I twirled it around the balls. I love making arrangements with just two ingredients. I think that they're super chic and just very paired bad. And I'm really happy with how this came out. This is the final result. Let me know what you think and if you're into two variety arrangements.
