The result will please you long enough. But keep in mind that it has the art of floristry and some of its subtleties. What you need to know in order to learn how to create beautiful bouquets and flower arrangements?
Choose materials
You can create interior decorations and gift bouquets from freshly cut or
artificial flowers. Do not forget about dried flowers. At the initial stages of mastering the art of floristry, one should not try to combine all these materials in one work, it is too difficult to achieve the compatibility of textures and forms. Any flower arrangement created by one’s own hands needs some kind of stand or base. And it does not have to be a banal vase or basket. Try making bouquets in kitchen utensils or interior wreaths. There should not be too many decorations, but they will come in handy. These are a variety of ribbons, decorative figures of butterflies and insects. Transparent threads with beads resembling dew drops look unusual. For romantic holidays, you can complement the decoration of flowers with figures of hearts. Such a floral arrangement, which everyone can do with their own hands, will be remembered for a long time by your soulmate.
The basic principles of floristry
When
drawing up a bouquet or composition, you need to know which side the finished jewelry will be considered. If you intend to place the flowers in the center of the table, your work of art should have a round shape. Such bouquets are collected from the center, adding new inflorescences in a spiral. If the composition is considered from one side, the highest flowers should be placed in the background. There are other forms of bouquets, for example, the well-known cascade. Such a composition, as it were, slowly "flows" down. Originally, she will look in a tall vase or in her hands (for example, like
a bride’s bouquet). Before you start making flower arrangements with your own hands, study the photos of finished works for inspiration. Have you noticed that traditionally in one bouquet no more than 2-3 shades are used? At the same time, both
contrasting colors and neighboring tones look equally good next. Pure white flowers are combined with any other. If you use two colors, make sure that they have the same warmth and accordingly choose greens for decoration.
How to make a flower arrangement: useful tips
We all know that there are no golden roses, just like blue peonies. In this case, special paint will help. For freshly cut inflorescences, choose a floral composition, but dried flowers can be painted with any spray paint for decoration. Don't be afraid to add custom items. DIY Christmas flower arrangement, made with your own hands, may include branches of coniferous trees or natural cones.
An autumn bouquet will look interesting with berries or bright leaves. A summer bouquet can be supplemented with cereals or branches of medicinal plants.
