"Wedding in the Andes" by Diana Palomo Barrantes

Day 1: First competition task: Wedding in the Andes

Competitors will make a wedding design for a traditional Colombian wedding in the Andean region. The arrangement will be the central piece for the chapel. The arrangement should be representative of the region.

The arrangement will be made in a vase. All floral material must be placed in floral foam.

The arrangement must be at least 1,5 meters high. This height includes the dimensions of the vase. There is no high restriction. Color is free.

Question 1: Explain what you did to make your wedding arrangement representative for the region?

I based on the shape of the circle that symbolizes infinite union in love. Represent the four elements, fire red color, with white air, the brown earth and water, are elements in the Andean weddings, nature-based. A supreme being who supports the union is represented with the form of a half circle as if they were arms on approval of the marriage.

Question 2: What materials and flowers did you use and why?

I´m using materials such as cotton grown in the Andes area. Red roses representing Love and other red flowers, also coves that accentuate the movement of the circle. Brown wire and red wool to bring color to the entire composition.

Question 3: Describe the type of bride and groom who would fit perfectly your style of design. (Within the traditional style of an Andean wedding)

Traditional, romantic and very expressive couple.
