Choose the 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 composition, created by yourself, needs some kind of support or base. And it does not have to be a banal vase or basket. Try making bunches in kitchen utensils or interior wreaths. There should not be too many decorations, but they will come in handy. These are a variety of tapes, decorative figures of butterflies and insects. Unusually, the transparent threads with beads resembling droplets of dew look. For romantic holidays, you can complement the decoration of flowers with figures of hearts. Such a flower composition, which everyone can make by themselves, will be remembered for a long time by your second half.
Basic principles of floristics
When composing a bouquet or a composition, you need to know which side of the finished jewelry will be considered. If you are going to put 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 along a spiral. If the composition is viewed from one side, the highest flowers should be placed in the background. There are other forms of bouquets, for example, the famous cascade. Such a composition, as it were, slowly "flows down". Original it will look in a high vase or in hands (for example, as a bouquet of the bride). Before you start making floral arrangements with your own hands, study photos of the finished works for inspiration. Have you noticed that traditionally one bouquet does not use more than 2-3 shades? At the same time, both the contrasting colors and the neighboring tones look equally alike. Pure white flowers blend with any others. If you use two colors, make sure that they have the same warmth and, accordingly, pick up greens for decoration.
