I took a floral arranging class at Fiori in downtown Seattle to study the concept of pave floral design, where the blooms are arranged closely together forming a domed shape. I learned that when done correctly, the arrangement should look like there's no beginning and no end; there's no front or back; the entire arrangement looks complete and beautiful from any angle you approach it. (Pictured is a photo from the Fiori website, an arrangement from the Valentine's class). At the end of class, students take home their floral projects, along with a goody bag containing tools for future arrangements.
