Learning flower arrangement is a popular art, and how to learn flower arrangement techniques and flower materials involves many factors. If we only choose one kind of flower, it is generally easy to blend and match in nature.

If the flower material is composed of 2-3 or more different plant decorations. In learning flower arrangement, one main flower material should be the main one, and other plants should be used as foils and embellishments. The study of flower art will also have flowers metabolizing with the different seasons. When we learn flower arrangement, we must learn color matching and make flower material matching with the different changes of seasons.

Generally, flowers change from buds to withering and dying, and leaves change from green to yellow and falling. The colors of flowers change in different seasons. Generally speaking, the flowers in early spring are the most colorful and bright. As time goes by, the colors of flowers gradually fade, and finally lose their original beautiful colors.

Here are the basic methods of learning flower arrangement:

       1. The steps of flower arrangement, we have the correct order. When arranging flowers, we should choose the flowers, the matching plants and decorations, and how to place the arranged bouquets.

　　2. If you want to make your flower arrangement look good, you must first pay attention to the color matching. Darker flowers or large flowers should have their own main flowers to stand out, and should be set off by light-colored flowers and plants. In terms of color, the principle of flower arrangement is that there should be no more than three colors of flowers in the same vase.

　　3. When arranging flowers, you must leave some space. This requires us to use flowers to decorate and cover the flower mud.

　　4. Flowers that are generally straight in shape should be suitable for slender straight vases. Flowers with larger flowers are suitable for vases with bulging bellies. If the vase is large, the height of the highest flower is twice the height of the vase, but it should not exceed twice.

　　5. The color of the flower vase should not overshadow the color of the flowers, otherwise it will be difficult to distinguish the primary from the secondary. The shape of the vase should not be too fancy, so as not to overshadow the flowers and make the view less attractive. When doing anything, there will be misunderstandings at the beginning. The same is true when we are learning flower arrangement. We should pay attention to avoid these minefields so that each of us can make the design we want.
