Fresh flowers from ancient times are perhaps the most common and favorite element of decor not only in the room, but also in clothing. They were endowed with magical, magical properties. In the Middle Ages, compositions made of fresh flowers, made with one's own hands, were encrypted messages, keepers of secret secrets about love, fidelity, betrayal, etc. Today, a presented bouquet is also an expression of appreciation, respect and favor. They decorate halls and rooms, classrooms and offices. The beauty of the flower is so diverse and original that you can admire it endlessly, finding more and more new facets of attractiveness.
How to make original compositions of fresh flowers with your own hands? This is a whole art. Floristics has its own laws of composition, color matching and harmony. But there are several basic rules, following which, you can make a successful ensemble. First of all, it is important to choose flowers. The material for the bouquet is not only cut buds, but also greens, branches of bushes with berries, cones, ears, finally, small decorative elements (birds, small sculptures, etc.), shells, colored pebbles. To make the compositions of fresh flowers made with your own hands successful, you will need a suitable container for water in which the finished work will be installed, and a floral sponge to help keep the elements in position. The stems are cleaned of leaves, spikes, side shoots and cut with a sharp secateurs obliquely, while being immersed in water. In the same way, trim greenery, ears and branches of shrubs.
Now you need to think about the shape of the bouquet. What will it be: conical, round, spiral? Compositions of fresh flowers made with one's own hands can consist of elements of different colors and shapes and can be bright and multicolor or monochrome, white-green, red-green, red-white. Bouquets composed of plants of the same tone with a smooth transition of shades from dark to light also look very impressive.
The easiest way to create a floral bouquet is parallel. We place the largest elements in the center of the floristic sponge (there should be an odd number of them) so that they create a vertex, and then we place smaller ones around them. A parallel composition of fresh flowers is being completed near a number of decorative leaves that form the fluffy green base of the bouquet.
Another way to create such ensembles is spiral. To do this, we stick the highest and largest flowers into the sponge vertically in the center or slightly moving towards the edge or corner. The subsequent elements of the composition are placed obliquely in a spiral around the central ones, gradually increasing the angle of inclination. It is important that the length of the stems is the same, then the bouquet will be smooth and beautiful.
Original and simple table compositions of fresh flowers are made using only one large and very decorative bud, which is supplemented with pebbles, shells, etc. For example, in several containers of transparent glass of different heights, pour small colored pebbles to the edges, pour water and top put a large head, for example, asters. Such compositions of fresh flowers, made with your own hands, are easy to make from the buds of one type of plant or several different, identical or contrasting in color. As a rule, gerbera, phalaenopsis, dahlia or large chrysanthemum flowers are used.
A handmade composition of fresh flowers is a simple and very effective way of decorating the interior and making an elegant gift.
