Fun With Stephanotis From SMR
(page 30)

At Rittners Floral School, we take pride in teaching both classical as well as some of the more way out styles.... This design is a good case in point. It is not a bouquet, it is an arrangement!
It is a good example of what we call "Inverse Proportion Designing."
In most arrangements, flowers and materials flow upwards out of a vase. In Inverse proportion designing, we start with a container, and then have our materials cascading downwards towards the table or floor!
I like to tell our students that it is the vase arrangement equivalent of a cascade bouquet!
Of course an inverse proportion design incorporating SMR stephanotis, roses, and hydrangea along with seeded eucalyptus, gives a special touch of elegance and class to this genre of floral art........
