Fortunately, a quick trip onto YouTube and Pottery Barn shows viewers the right way: straight rows and tightly packed. Theirs calls for 20 dozen carnations. That's 240 flowers. And this arrangement isn't that big. (I just love Pottery Barn. It's funny, though. I go there but never buy anything!).Anyway, See this on the left? I think I just found the inspiration for our front bank. It's awful. I mean, it looks bad because it gets constant scorching sun. So maybe I'll have the gardeners pull everything out and put something like this in. It will make the neighbors slightly crazy. They're of the non-flag flying variety.
Watch the flower flag video below.

I saw the flowers that Bee ordered for the service and they were indeed awful.
Someone on her blog said they should have been roses bit I think the Carnations were a great choice as they can stand up to time and weather. The problem was it was very poorly put together. I think the shop that sold them should be showed how terrible they looked and that their shop will get no more business and word will get out how awful the arrangement was for such an important service.
Love your landscape idea.... your so funny.
cheers, parsnip
I was the one who thought they could have tossed in some roses. White ones. Somewhere. I mean, why not at the rate they went! They didn't use enough flowers or the right ones.
The one in the video uses 20 dozen! I don't think the one they made comes near that, though I can imagine it's what it would take.
