Mechanis Help Please

[rewolf]

I have a hotel client who would like this "look" as pictured below.

Are the flower bouquets simply balanced or is there a secret to the mechanics that I should know.

Thanks in advance

k trying to figure out the download... hubby might need to help...

the how to of it??? i wonder if the leaves are glued to the side and the flower stems wired /glued to that??

I'll try again.




Yeah! It worked...
So how are the bunches balanced? Somehow they have got to be "touch" proof. You know, viewers who like to touch the flowers...

i got it enlarged on my computer and i think that green square on the right side is a holder or bracket of some kind that everything is locked into

Hi Katie,

Regardless of how it's made, people are for sure going to mess with it. I think I would wire each composition together and then bring a heavier wire of the same color up with a hook to hang it from the edge that would be hidden by the vertical leaves. That way, it's easy for them to put it back the way they found it ~ bunch of turds!

If you just balance it like these are usually done, others will not get it back the way they found it and the lines will be messed up.

They can just balance on their own, but if you can attach them some how to the leaves it would be better. I was staying at one hotel in Atlanta that had these in the lobby and I noticed several times that they just seemed to disappear. I think they are really easy for people to walk off with. I would hope that people would be classier than that, but there are reasons that hotels glue down their silks or fancy vases down to the counters.....

We had a French Bistro where we did their table flowers on weekly basis....They are out of business now. But, I remember we had to replace several boquets because they would just disappear from the 'Men's Toilet".You would think it would be 'Ladies" but imagine small flowers disappearing.
