If you've ever wondered how beautiful floral arrangements are created, Cheadle Flower Club is well worth a visit. They meet each month and members and visitors are treated to an evening of creative seasonal demonstrations.
The October meeting saw 3 demonstrators from nearby Weston Coyney Flower Club sharing their skills. Jean, Christine and Gay were given a very warm welcome for their autumnal seasonal demonstration.
Gay started the presentation using a low wicker bowl filled with a wonderful selection of autumn colours. A red collar of red cornus created the outline with acer, yellow,red and orange chrysanthemums, peach roses, rose hips and Chinese lanterns. She also added nuts, apples, fir cones and carrots on sticks to complement this gorgeous display.
Christine’s arrangement was completed in a low dish with cypress, fatsia leaves, pink and mauve chrysanthemums, beautiful pink roses and stems of grasses to finish this stunning and colourful arrangement. Christine also displayed a lovely basket (one she had made earlier!!) holding yellow roses and chrysanthemums, together with a further one produced from under the table in a cone holding purple flowers and a crocheted gnome.
Jean was the final demonstrator with two pumpkins holding skimmia,yellow chrysanthemums, nuts, oaks leaves, grasses and an added touch of battery powered lights giving a sparkling finish to these wonderful displays. Jean’s final gorgeous arrangements were held in a low dish with an array of autumnal colours, orange and red Gerbera, orange and yellow spray roses, purple lisianthus, oak leaves, green button chrysanthemums and orange grasses.
This brought to an end a wonderful evening of celebration of autumn, giving members lovely ideas of arrangements to make at home. All three talented ladies were extremely entertaining with their stories and created a relaxed atmosphere for everyone to enjoy the evening.
The next meeting is the Christmas demonstration which will be held at Wellspring Methodist Church, Chapel Street, Cheadle, ST10 1DU on Wednesday 20th November, 7.00 for 7.30 pm start. Please note this is a change of venue from our usual meetings. Beverley Artis from Derby is our demonstrator with a presentation entitled ‘Step into Christmas’. Tickets are priced at £10 including refreshments for what will be a truly amazing and memorable evening to get everyone in the mood for Christmas.
