Flower arranging is a discipline, and to create visually appealing floral arrangements, one must adhere to many principles of flower arranging.
Even if you're a complete novice, there's no need to fear; you can start with simple arrangements.
Today, we've compiled four key points of flower arranging to teach you how to create stunning floral arrangements.
1. Choose the Same Type of Flowers
The first element is to select the same type of flowers. Since you're a flower arranging novice, there's no need to worry about categorizing flowers into main flowers, fillers, or framing flowers.
The most crucial aspect is to ensure overall harmony. When it comes to requirements for uniformity and consistency, selecting the same type of flowers is the least likely to go wrong.
Choose flowers such as roses or daisies, which are suitable for presenting in clusters. Simply pack them tightly and densely into the vase.
2. Stick to the Same Color Scheme
If you want your arrangements to have more depth, consider using flowers of the same color. Compose your arrangements with flowers of similar hues.
With flowers of the same color scheme, you don't need to worry about color coordination; there will be no mishaps with messy or mismatched colors. The gradient effect produced by similar color schemes gives an artistic feel. Even beginners in flower arranging to achieve this effect!
3. Choose Short Flower Vases
With standard-height flower vases, there are stringent requirements regarding how much the flowers should protrude from the vase opening and how the stem length should proportionally match the vase's body.
When you're just starting with flower arranging, probably, you won't get this right. However, by opting for shorter vases, this concern is eliminated. Use vases with shorter heights, so there's less demand for stem length. Simply trim the stems until the flowers barely peek out of the vase opening.
4. Use Multiple Vases
The best way to conceal that you're a beginner is by using several vases stacked together. Prepare several simple vases with small capacities and narrow openings.
Insert flowers into the vases randomly, with only one or two bunches per vase, and arrange them in a staggered manner. This creates a unique and chic look.
Don't feel constrained to use different types of flowers for each vase; boldly use the same type of flowers or even simple filler materials like eucalyptus leaves. The effect will still be stunning.
With these four flower-arranging tips, even a complete beginner can easily create breathtaking floral arrangements. Remember, flower arranging is both a discipline and a way to express oneself and enjoy beauty. Dare to experiment and savor the joy of creation!
