ILKLEY FLOWER CLUB: Sara Barrow was our NAFAS Demonstrator in November. She is a bespoke florist from Goosnargh near Preston and was a Chelsea Gold Medallist in 2014. Her title was ‘In Vogue’ and she wanted to share with us some of the latest trends and encourage us to have the confidence to go and have a play. Sara used low cost materials for her containers made from folded magazines, flooring material, wax, bark and wooden sticks. She used seasonal flowers and foliage including Chinese lanterns, roses, Asiatic lilies, chrysanthemums, gerbera, ginger, protea, bird of paradise and some beautiful orchids. After each arrangement Sara’s husband played a piece of music that was related to the floral design which was great. Her company is called ‘Flowers with Passion’, Sara certainly puts plenty of it into her creations and we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
