What is a floral design?

Certain fundamental criteria is four flower design elements: form, texture, space and color.

Good floral design – is one to which no more can be added and from which nothing can be taken away without causing an impression of incompleteness.

Form of an arrangement

Mass floral arrangements has its origin in Europe. It make from big amount of floral materials, with little or no space between the individual stems.  

Texture

Contrast of texture is vital for good bouquet design. Texture on floral material can be described in so many ways - waxy, silky, spiky, downy and a few. But when more than one texture is being included into the arrangement it is necessary to use plain and smooth form, giving a calm contrast.

Space

In flower arranging space help make a form. It could be beneath the container - for sense of lightness.Within traditional designs or spatial and abstract design. Illusion – the eye can be tricked.Into an illusion of depth, where little or none exists.

Colour

For flower design colour inspires is one of the most exciting elements. Colour theory has many aspects.Perhaps there are two of the easiest ways of choosing colourcombination  for your floral arrangement:

Take flowers with colour from one source, for example pink, burgundy, red, purple for monochromic combination.Ensure that all the flowers have a link with another hue in the composition, for example yellow with blue, with something that has a dominant yellow centre and blue (Veronica for exp.)
