Fresh Cut Flower Arrangements

One of the main directions of phytodesign is the compilation of bouquets, compositions, flower baskets of cut plants, weaving wreaths, that is, the art of arrangement. Each country has its own historical traditions, its own tastes and experience, and finally, its own plants, so the art of arrangement has a national character. Thus, compositions in the form of a classic triangle are of English origin. Refined French people love to work with leaves. Temperamental Italians prefer to add fruit and always strive to make bouquets deliberately decorative. By the way, like the division of gardens into two styles - landscape and regular, there are also two directions in the art of arrangement. Vegetative is characterized by an asymmetric arrangement of elements, which mimics the natural forms of plants. Within this composition, it is possible to combine plants from only one climatic zone. Decorative is usually characterized by symmetry. Created images are contrasted with natural forms and deliberately elegant. It is appropriate to attract additional materials - glass, wax, fabrics of various textures, paper, metal, wood.

The house is usually decorated with flowers for the holidays, although the reason for this can be just your good mood. If you order a composition to an experienced florist, he will definitely ask whether it is intended for a man or a woman. What is important is the age of the addressee, his character, your relationship - they are official or personal. Certain color combinations are popular at different times of the year: spring is the time of yellow and blue, in the summer the present riot of colors reigns, in autumn fall brown, orange and yellow colors harmoniously, and winter New Year holidays are associated with white and bright red.

Most floristic schools adhere to the division of compositions, depending on their form, into massive, linear and parallel. Massive first became widespread in Europe in the Renaissance. They are very voluminous, as a rule, are made in the form of a triangle, oval, circle or sickle. The form is densely filled with plant material. Usually, a single focal point does not stand out in the composition, which would concentrate all attention on itself - the glance glides smoothly, moving from element to element. Linear style originated in the East, it is characterized by a very meager use of plant material. Each element is important, all lines are emphasized - smooth downward or dynamically directed upwards. Appropriate bold color contrasts. In parallel arrangements, each element has its own point of growth. Plant materials, such as bamboo stalks, are arranged parallel to each other.
