Then, choose your favorite type of flower (or different types) and put them into the container with some greenery or other long-stemmed decoration for height such as baby's breath or roses.
After that, place smaller filler blooms around these larger pieces near their stems where they will grow out from. Lastly, use tongs to carefully move everything together until you are satisfied with how it looks!
What are the principles of floral design?
The six principles of floral design are colors harmony, balance, rhythm and variety. This article will break down what each principle means in more detail to give you a better idea of how they can be applied when arranging flowers for your next event!
Colors Harmony: Colors should match or contrast with one another depending on the desired feeling that is trying to be created by the arrangement such as elegant vs. vibrant. It's important not to use two colors adjacent to one another on the wheel because these would create an unpleasant clash if it were used together in an arrangement (ex. purple & yellow).
Usually this applies only when there are three or four colors being used within the same flower arrangment but some combinations may work well even outside of that rule.
Balance: A balanced arrangement is one that uses two or more flowers grouped together in a way so the eye can move naturally from left to right and back again without difficulty, with each group of flowers feeling similar but different (ex. using three roses where one has a deep pink color vs. light pink).
It should also be about half as high as it is wide when arranging basket-style arrangements for weddings and other large affairs because this will help keep your eyes focused on the top layers instead of looking at all of the lower flowers which are often lost due to their size.
Note how you use elements like line length, height ratio, space between individual blooms or groups within an arrangement, etc., while keeping in mind the eye will move in an alternating pattern.
