Common forms of home flower arrangements

1. Vase Flowers

A vase with a narrow or medium diameter is mostly used for herbal flower arrangement. It does not need to be fixed, just place it according to the principle of "one branch, two branches straight, three branches, four branches diagonal", and then insert the foil flowers.

A vase with a larger diameter is more suitable for inserting woody flowers, or cross them with each other or fix them in a "T" shape by relying on the mouth of the vase. However, one thing is that you should choose curved and well-shaped branches, and then match them with some foil flowers. This will make it look good.

2. Potted flowers

Round basins are available in most flower shops. They are usually fixed with a sword. There are three common forms: semi-circular, asymmetrical, and natural.

1. Semi-circular: used for flowers with smaller flowers, such as carnations and cosmos. However, at least a dozen flowers are needed. When arranging, make the flowers in a semi-circular shape. The distance between the flowers should be equal.

2. Asymmetric type: It is used for flowers with larger flowers, such as roses, chrysanthemums, tulips, etc. Six or seven flowers are enough. Pay attention to the ups and downs and rhythm when shaping. It reflects the natural beauty of asymmetry.

3. Natural type: for flowers with curved branches, such as plum, peony, and bamboo crabapple. Take one or two branches in full bloom, and some supporting flowers (not too many).

3. Bonsai style flower arrangement

It is a combination of bonsai art and flower arrangement art. A closer look reveals some of the charm of bonsai. Woody flowers are mostly used as the main body, and herbaceous flowers are used as auxiliary. The water basin is preferably waist-round or rectangular.

One side is the main body, and the other side is the auxiliary. The main body is higher than the auxiliary, leaving a larger space in the middle. It is a typical bonsai style. It is not an exaggeration to say that bonsai is reproduced in the art of flower arrangement, right?

4. Bamboo tube flower arrangement

Originally popular in Japan, it was introduced to Japan from China in the 8th to 11th century AD. There are three common forms: single tube, layered (with more than two nodes, a hole is opened in the middle of each node to insert the flowers.), and boat (lying horizontally, with the upper part cut open. How to insert it is up to you).

5. Flower Basket

There is a container for water inside, and large-shaped flowers are mostly used. For example, carnation, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, rose, peony, dendrobium, poinsettia, etc., and a small amount of foliage flowers are added, and it is OK! Common forms of flower baskets are:

1. Round: mostly for celebration flower baskets. Its shape is plump and symmetrical, and can be appreciated from all sides.

2. L-type: It is named after its shape that resembles an "L". Flowers with longer stems are preferred, such as gladiolus, chrysanthemum, calla lily, etc.

3. Natural type: It is the best way to express your mood and emotions. You can do as you like and insert your favorite works. Natural is the most beautiful!

6. Hanging flower

arrangement: Use local materials, such as hanging objects on the wall (such as photo frames, handicrafts, Chinese paintings, etc.), and insert one or two flowers to embellish the room. This not only enhances the artistic beauty of the hanging objects, but also makes the room full of vitality. For example, insert a spider plant on the wall lamp. If you want to arrange flowers, you should add some foliage-viewing flowers such as kidney ferns.

7. Wild style flower arrangement

Wild flower arrangement, no matter what wild flowers or weeds, can be selected. You can choose some unknown wild fruits at random. You can arrange them casually, depending on your likes and dislikes. In a small house in the city, it is full of rich rural atmosphere, and the beauty is really refreshing.
