Flowers are an important component of festivities, religious and cultural events. Blossoms and foliages are arranged to create interesting designs. While fresh flowers are primarily used in floral arrangements, they are sometimes combined with artificial and dried flowers to enhance the appearance of the bouquets.

There are numerous flower-arranging designs. You can experiment with various techniques to create an aesthetically pleasant arrangement.

Types of flower arrangements

Mass arrangements

Inspired by the traditional European style of arranging flowers, mass arrangement of flowers creates a closed and thick silhouette. This geometric design uses large quantities of plant materials. Instead of emphasizing on individual components, it focuses on overall appearance of the floral arrangement. The most popular designs in mass arrangements are oval or round shapes. As most flowers are present in this form in nature, round flower arrangements create a serene ambiance. Triangular arrangements are extremely attractive. It is used for creating beautiful colorful bouquets.

Line arrangements

Line arrangements are inspired by the Japanese style of arranging flowers. Unlike mass arrangements, line arrangements use less plant materials. They focus on individual flowers or foliage. With three contrasting forms dominating the arrangement, this type of floral arrangement boasts of an open silhouette. While mass arrangements emphasis on symmetry, the linear arrangements are more asymmetrical.

Line-mass arrangements

This form of flower arrangement combines the Japanese line arrangement with the European mass arrangement. It is a clearer form of floral arrangement with sufficient open space. With the mass arrangement occupying the central area, additional foliage or blooms are used to give a linear shape to the arrangement.

Role of color in flower arrangements

The colors of the blooms and the foliages play an important role in floral arrangements. You can use similar colors or a combination of different colors. The colors are chosen according to occasion. Bright colors such as red, yellow and orange create a warm and happy ambiance. They are appropriate for celebrations such as birthdays or anniversaries.

White and cool colors such as blue, violet and green are more suitable for somber occasions. They create a cool and serene environment. While decorating a room with flowers, these colors may be used to contrast bright colors of walls or furnishing.

To create a monochromatic color harmony, select colors of the same hue or different tones of a color. Colors that are close to each other on the color wheel are used for creating analogous color harmony. An interesting contrasting color harmony can be creating by using blooms of colors that are opposite to each other on the color wheel.
