Flower Ornaments For Any Occasion
We will learn the do's and don'ts of flower design. First, we look into common designs for different containers. Then, we talk about styles used by florists for various occasions.
The first part focuses on simple arrangements, like vase designs, bouquets, and corsages. We take you thru choosing flowers to making custom designs. We will help you learn common floral arrangements for different needs.
Simple Assorted Container/Vase Arrangement.
Vase arrangements are more common than you think they are. Shallow bowls, square containers, or the odd bucket - you got it.
From centerpieces to home décor, this timeless arrangement brings life to any space. Here's how to create a simple but elegant arrangement in vases.
Select and prepare your container, flowers and greens. Start off by cutting the ends of the stems at a 45-degree angle. Place a floral foam in the base for more efficient water absorption and sturdier arrangements.
Insert the foliage and main flowers. Secure them in the floral foam and repeat 2-3 times as you want.
Place the accent flowers in. Turn the vase around as you put in the smaller flowers and secure them in the foam as well. Keep the arrangement steady in form and color. Awesome!
Hand-Tied Bouquet.
Hand-tied bouquets have always been a success in the romance department. First dates? Anniversaries? Wedding proposals? The inevitable "I'm Sorry" bouquets? Whatever it is, you won't go wrong with a hand-tied bouquet. Its hand-picked blossoms and delicate arrangement makes any bouquet precious for every recipient.
To achieve that perfect hand-tied bunch, follow these simple steps.
Select and prep your flowers and foliage. Begin your arrangement by spreading out your flowers. Try to arrange them in varying sizes and lengths with 4-5 various types for the best results. Like we discussed in our last article, select your colors first to base your flowers and foliage off of. Trim the ends of the stems at a 45-degree angle. Then take away excess leaves and thorns for easy handling.
Take a stem of foliage and set your main flower flush against it.
Put in your accent flowers and angle them towards the center. Rotate the arrangement and repeat until all sides have accents. Add the other accents in according to their colors and types and balance out as needed.
Tie the top of the stems with string and ribbon. Cut the ends at the same length to let the bouquet stand on its own. Perfect!
Wrist Corsage or Boutonniere Set.
Designing corsages is an useful skill that helps you enhance your floristry skills. You can use it for baby showers, a mom-to-be, or your kids' prom night!
Here's a step by step guide to crafting corsages:
Select and prep your flowers. Like any arrangement, keep your stems fresh and trim the ends at a 45-degree angle at 2 inches long.
Make a bunch in any style. Let your creative juices flow and create your own bunch.
Secure the arrangement. Bind your flower bunch with green floral tape and again with a ribbon around the stems.
