                    Floral Seminar

Presented by Ned L. Davis - Minister of Liturgical Floral Design

    Liturgical floral design is a specialized art form focusing on floral displays in a church or place of worship. This floral seminar explores the use of church flowers as a form of liturgical art similar to religious paintings, sculptures and stained glass. The concepts are ecumenical and may be modified for any denomination or worship space. 

    Over the years as I have designed many different styles of floral displays for the Waterbury Congregational Church, United Church of Christ. Some were developed around a scripture or sermon theme, while others would cover a period of time from Lenten Season through Easter. Contemporary and sculptural designs have become very popular with our congregation with only a few flowers expressing an art form and simplicity of design. I am pleased to be able to share the ideas and concepts that have been developed over the years in this floral seminar -The Art of Liturgical Floral Design.

Some of the seminar topics covered include: 

Progressive Displays - Lent & Easter 2009

Scriptural Interpretations - Revelations 21:11-22

Symbolic Displays - Communion

Theme Displays - Blessings of Spilled Milk

Sculptural Displays - Nature's Line of Beauty

  Design Mechanics - The Rising Sun

and more.
