"O.k, we're going to create a tropical waterfall that's going to be a rectangular shape, long and thin. So, you need to think about how you're going to construct it. You try to remember it can't be very heavy, unless you're going to go into a wall with anchors and be up there permanently. And, you need to really pay attention. One of the things that I use is Styrofoam. You can cut any shape you want out of it. You can buy it at a hobby shop, and it comes in any size, shapes, forms, and colors. Then we're going to go ahead and use our silk flowers and botanicals that we've gotten from your local store. The other thing I wanted to do is add some texture and interest into it by using bamboo, cut up into little pieces and creating a little, like bridge area that walks across the waterfall. So, there's a lot of things you could use that is non-flowers. Again, you can use seashells, seedpods, sticks and twigs that you find outside in your yard, anything that you would like to get your concept across and add interest to your wreath. So, the things you need to do, is think about how you're going to do it, how you're going to hang it and the construction of it so that you could design from there."
