I grew up in a beautiful and leisurely town in the south, with mountains and water, and a group of people who love to grow flowers. When I passed by every house, I could see a few vines climbing on the wall, which was just the right amount of beauty. In this slow pace, I fell in love with handcrafts, whether it was weaving or painting, and these soulful flowers were the most precious raw materials given by nature.

Beautiful things are more valuable when they are shared, so Mu Xin decided to use Toutiao as a platform to share more flower arrangement tips with everyone. As a newcomer, please take care of me. Mu Xin's sharing will not have the so-called high threshold of flower arrangement schools, nor will it have difficult flower arrangement techniques. What he pursues is just a beautiful life. According to the flowers of the same season, you can absorb different flower arrangement knowledge, and you will find that it is so simple to make life beautiful.

Since this is an introduction, today, we will not talk about "planting" flowers, but the "art" of flowers. Planting flowers is to cultivate one's mind. In spare time, you can use a spray bottle to sprinkle water and use scissors to trim the overgrown branches. This kind of slow life is mostly suitable for people who can calm down. Young people who are restless may feel bored. Flower art is slightly different. It is called adding a sense of ritual to life. Go to the flower shop, get a few fresh cut flowers, prepare an exquisite vase, a simple rocking chair, a good book, and let the wind blow your clothes under the warm sunshine. Life cannot be more beautiful.

The key to a successful flower arrangement lies not in the flowers themselves, nor in the cost of the accessories, but in making the viewer feel comfortable.

An overview of flower arrangement is to use the cut branches, leaves, flowers and fruits of plants as materials, and through technical processing such as pruning, pruning and bending as well as artistic processing such as conception, modeling and coloring, re-arrange them into an exquisite, beautiful, poetic and picturesque floral art that can reproduce the beauty of nature and life.

Therefore, flower arrangement is rootless, and unlike flower planting, its disadvantage is that it is only beautiful for a moment, which just meets people's love of "freshness". For friends who want to learn flower art, if they don't want to take the florist certificate or participate in any competition, it is not difficult to have a preliminary understanding.

The most important thing about flower arrangement is color matching. Of course, you can also choose a simple solid color, or just plant a single flower, but in this case, you have to work hard on the shape of the flower, otherwise, the whole effect will be particularly tragic. To do a good job of flower arrangement, you have to work hard on the creativity, conception and arrangement of the flowers. There is no requirement for the type of flowers, as long as they are delicate enough, even the dogtail grass in the mountains can become noble.

Let’s talk about flower arrangement in general today, starting with some of the ingredients involved.

1. Cut flowers

Simply put, it is cut from plants and is an indispensable raw material for flower arrangement. Without it, there will be no theme, and it will be no different from being a mere decoration.

2. Socket

This is not an electrical socket at home. In the flower art world, the "socket" is glued to the basin to increase the aesthetics. It is also called "Jianshan". The latter name is much more domineering, but it is a bit abrupt when applied to daily life.

3. Plug-in rack

This depends on the height of the flower arrangement. If the arrangement is more complicated and the height is high, you will have to use a "well" shaped rack to fix it. If it is smaller, you can skip this step.

These are the materials generally needed for flower arranging, but to do flower arranging well, you need to know more flower arranging terms, such as the time limit for cutting flowers, the three lines of heaven, earth and man, etc., as well as flower arranging methods, such as the origami fixation method, the incision fixation method, the branch fixation method, etc. Mu Xin will talk about this knowledge in the next article. In addition, I will also tell you how to grow good flowers, how to graft, cut and maintain them. If you are interested, please follow the headline account Mu Xin Flower Art !
