website collected advice from experts for those who want to try themselves in the art of floristry and do it with pleasure.

How to know if flowers are fresh

To buy the freshest flowers, you need to pay attention to their freshness markers. We give examples of the most accurate.

Roses. The sepal of the flower should point upwards and support the bud. A sepal directed to the sides, and even more so down, means that the flowers are stale.

Daisies. A fresh flower has a greenish heart. Bright yellow indicates that the daisies have been cut long ago. Brownish - flowers are very stale.

Tulips. At fresh flowers dense, unopened bud. Opened tulips will not last long. Do not be afraid of very small buds, tulips have the ability to grow and bloom in water, so these flowers will last longer in a vase than others.

Gerberas. Shake the flower a little: if it is stale, the petals fall off easily. The stem should be green, see if there is any wire, which is often braided already withering gerberas.

Lilies. Lily buds should be greenish in color, if they are yellow, the flower will no longer bloom. There should be no traces of pollen on the opened flowers, which means that the lilies have been standing for a long time.

Before making a bouquet, purchased flowers must be saturate with water. To do this, with a sharp knife (scissors, secateurs are not suitable: they close the pores of the stem), cut off a small part of the stem obliquely and put the flowers in a container of water for half an hour.

What bouquet would you like to collect?

The shapes of bouquets can be different, but for beginners it is better to use 2 techniques for collecting the composition: parallel or spiral. Be sure to pre-clean the lower part of the stems from leaves and thorns.

1. Parallel bouquet

This is the easiest way to make a bouquet, however, there is room for creativity. Technics: we lay the stems of plants parallel to each other, tightly. Often the binding tape also acts as a decoration.

Such a bouquet can be assembled to make it round, asymmetrical or one-sided.

Round form assembled from 1-4 types of flowers of approximately the same size and additions. In the center is the main flower, around it we place the rest in a circle, so that they are approximately at the same height. The composition can be linked several times for convenience.

AT asymmetrical bouquet we also place flowers in a circle, but the height of the flowers will be different.

Single sided bouquet. In such a bouquet there will be the highest point - a flower or flowers on the longest stems, and we arrange the rest of the plants in steps, gradually going down.

2. Spiral bouquet

This technique is suitable for lush bouquets consisting of a large number of different plants or flowers of the same species. The shape of the bouquet turns out to be round, and the arrangement of the stems helps to present a large number of flowers in a favorable light.

Technics: the easiest way is to assemble such a bouquet on the table.

The first flower is the base. The second is laid with a stem on the first with an inclination to the right. The third is behind the first, with an inclination to the left. And then in the same order.

If you make a bouquet of the same flowers, you do not need to constantly check it. If the composition contains different flowers, periodically gently lift the bouquet, holding the intersection point of the stems, to check and correct the arrangement of the elements.

Composition harmony

In order for the bouquet to be successful and live for a long time, it is important to follow two rules:

• plant compatibility;
• color matching.

Bouquets can be plain, similar, iridescent or contrasting. If it seems that it is difficult to combine colors, you can use the color wheel. Nearby are similar colors, and opposite each other - the brightest contrasts.

The European style of bouquets allows you to combine different flowers, however, some plants are better used in mono-bouquets, as they greatly shorten the life of their neighbors. Among such harmful "egoists":

• narcissus (especially for tulips);
• cloves (especially for roses);
• lilies of the valley;
• bird cherry;
• mignonette.

But there are also “doctor” plants, they will prolong the life of flowers:

• cypress;
• juniper;
• lily (for roses);
• jasmine (for lily of the valley).

Design Secrets

Objectively beautiful bouquet- these are always small floral secrets that make the composition harmonious. Some of them:

• in a composition of many colors there should be a main “point”, a focal point that attracts attention. Our eyes are subconsciously looking for "points" and such bouquets seem harmonious;
• do not overdo it with greenery, and it should not be higher than flowers;
• use of colors varying degrees openness and buds prolongs the life of the bouquet;
• the rhythm of the bouquet is important: flowers, shapes, colors should alternate, then a certain “movement” of the composition is created that pleases the eye.

Packaging as part of the composition

Among the stylish and fashion packaging recent years and this year the first place is occupied by plain paper. Fabric and lace, dense raw linen - matting, satin ribbons and coarse weaving ropes will add charm to the bouquet.

Large and small grids are losing ground.

Undesirable - polyethylene, it can only be used as technical packaging.

Floral Trends - 2018

You will need

• - flowers;
• - tape or cord;
• - decorative greenery;
• - additional accessories (framework, packing material).

Instruction

Before you start compiling, select for it. In this matter, it is very important to take into account the age, gender, appearance and, of course, the personal taste of the person to whom the bouquet is intended. To avoid embarrassing mistakes, follow the basic rules of flower etiquette. For choose large, tall flowers. For example, gladioli, hippeastrums. More delicate plants are suitable for women - roses, lilies,. Carnations are presented to mature and elderly people. by the most universal colors are gerberas, they can be almost everyone.

Stylistic enumeration. When creating a composition, do not use too many types of plants - the work will look sloppy and overloaded. Limit yourself to 2-3 types of flowers and add decorative greenery.

Like any other creative process, the creation of a bouquet can be divided into points:

• Definition of form and composition;


• Color compatibility and number of plants;


• Bouquet arrangement.

You can make a bouquet of flowers growing in your garden. They should be cut at an angle and put in water. Dense stems should be cut garden pruner rather grassy with a sharp knife. Be sure to remove some of the lower spines and leaves before putting the flowers in the water. Thus, they will not decompose and will not spoil the water, and this can greatly shorten the life of plants. If you have flowers that have never been used in making bouquets - update the cut, so the stem will not become clogged with air and can "get drunk".

It must be remembered that bouquets are made different sizes and each is preferred for its own special occasion. For anniversaries and other major events, it would be appropriate to give large bouquets. For a wedding, less voluminous ones are suitable. It is important to take into account the gender, appearance and personal taste of the person to whom you present the bouquet. For men - moderately large, vertically elongated, with all their appearance showing restraint and severity of lines and shapes. For women, bouquets can be of various variations, there are no limits for your imagination.

Make bouquets with joy in your heart. Cause what you feel will be reflected in them color combinations and form. Experiment, create and give people your creations, because together with them you give joy and happiness!

A bouquet of fresh flowers will help to please a loved one, create a warm atmosphere in the house, decorate the holiday and complement the outfit. In order to correctly create a unique composition, it is necessary to take into account the compatibility of flowers and remember several techniques for composing bouquets, depending on the shape chosen for the future bouquet.

Instruction

Decide on the color scheme and plants for the bouquet. Make a monochromatic bouquet of shades of the same color of different saturation. To correct a sudden disharmony, it will be enough to add white flowers, combined with any shade.

To prolong the life of a bouquet, consider the incompatibility of some flowers with each other when compiling it. So, for example, daisies, poppies and cornflowers oppress lilies; roses cannot coexist with carnations; don't get along with narcissists. But in any bouquet, twigs that can prolong the life of other flowers will be very desirable.

Complement the compositions with deadwood branches, greenery or other small "revitalizing" flowers. Use decorative elements: lace, plastic or paper butterflies, ribbons, etc. To give the bouquet a complete look, you can use the packaging chosen with taste. The main thing is not to overdo it with decorations.

Its shape depends on the purpose of the bouquet. Round low bouquets look great in small quantities on dining table. Large compositions harmonize well with tall vases standing on the floor. A bouquet that includes hanging branches is suitable for wall shelves.

Choose flowers to make a round bouquet: they can be either the same or different in length. Hold one in your hand central flower and add the following one at a time. Contact the stems only at the point of binding. Apply flowers slightly obliquely. The ends of the stems should project a circle. Add arrangement greens. Tie the bouquet at the junction of the stems.

To make a Biedermeier bouquet, take the top flower and arrange the flowers tightly around it in one row. After making a circle, wrap the flowers (not at the base of the heads) and stems with adhesive tape, secure. Then, around the circumference, set the flowers of the next row, wrapping and securing them in the same way. Composing several circles in this way, for each of which you can use different types flowers, wrap the stems with a narrow ribbon, lowering its ends to hang freely.

For the outer circumference of the bouquet, make a cuff of lace, paper, fabric, asparagus or hogweed.

Make a one-sided bouquet from plants with an excellent length of peduncles. "Filled" should be only the outer part of the bouquet. Place long plants at the back, short ones in tiers, in front. In the central part, place large flowers with bright colors.

Modern florists know how to make bouquets of fresh flowers that are amazing in their beauty and harmony. But even the most brilliant florists in the world are people just like us. To make bouquets that are ideal in terms of floristics, you need to study a lot, of course. But just a good and beautiful bouquet can be assembled by yourself, using the tips below.

Instruction

In spring, it is better to combine no more than three shades. In addition, it is desirable that they also be matched in a single color scheme. For example, when you make up from light purple lilacs and, the latter should not be chosen yellow or red, otherwise the bouquet will look too colorful.

And now about the types of flowers. There may be several. You can safely combine the sizes and textures of flowers. Smooth, terry, needle-shaped, large and small flower heads - you can take any. At the same time, flowers with small corollas or pale colors are placed at the edges, and large and bright ones should take places closer to the center.

Carefully combine simple and complex flowers. Let us explain: gentle and so simple, lilies of the valley or daffodils should not be combined with bright and exotic or tropical anthurium. Such bouquets look tasteless. But extraordinary wild flowers (solidago, field iris) can be combined with any flowers, keeping them in the same color scheme.

There can't be a lot of greenery in the bouquet. A variety of greenery complements the bouquet and it should also be selected according to the rule of combining textures and sizes. For example, a dense and carved palm leaf, shimmering with gloss, is suitable for an airy sprig of asparagus. Only it is highly not recommended to collect a bouquet so that the flowers are hidden behind the greenery. Only light cereals can be placed above the entire bouquet as a whole.

And even more: if you like juicy fruits, bright colours and fragrant smells, you will get incredible pleasure from such a gift. flower bouquets are also pleasing to the eye and smell pleasant, but sooner or later you will have to part with any fresh flowers, sending their withered buds to the trash can.
