Graduation at Royal Festival Hall June 2010

My Degree Show June 2010

My final project was to create a fund raising charity event based in London (of course this was all hypothetical). I had to choose a well known celebrity who supported the charity and a theme for the evening event. My chosen charity was  the Alzheimer's Society. I had to create a floral entrance piece and a table centre which would be at the event. This all contributed to my final show, so below are the pictures of the designs i would of used at the event.

My Degree Show June 2010

This design is meant to show the brain of a person with Alzheimer's, its showing that the brain is out of control and not thinking as one should. Underneath the wackiness of the flowers exploding, i created a wire mesh which is meant to resemble the brain.

 

This design is meant to show the latter stages of the disease, that's why i used light peaceful colours to resemble the brain slowly becoming dormant. Butterfly's were placed on the grass to show the living soul leaving the body and flying off to rest.

The Sick Childrens Trust Ball

This was an event which i was very proud to be apart of. I was asked along with some other students from my course, we created bright pink floral centerpieces for the evening ball. The evening was setup to raise money for the chairty for sick children, the evening turned out to be a success, raising over £50,000 through raffles and auctions throughout the night.

The Mansion House with Jens Jakobsen

I was deeply pleased when i got asked to help Jens Jakobsen construct the arrangements for a charity event at the Mansion House in London. Jens Jakodsen is a floral designer from Denmark, he's been in the business for 20 years working in a various different countries. His work has been published in the Brides Magazine and also demonstrated on the wedding channel. I worked along Jens making the arrangements for the evening event, it was a long tiring day but the end result looked blooming lovely. The room lit up with gorgeous colourful spring flowers. AMAZING!!!
