It would seem that only a florist can compose an original bouquet. In order for an armful of flowers to look harmonious in a vase, you need to know the laws of composition, see the beauty of each flower, and feel the proportions. However, the basics of drawing up bouquets, together with a creative approach, will already be able to cause admiration of others and their own joy from the combination of color, shape and aesthetic taste awakened from hibernation.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the components. Flowers for a bouquet should be cut at the beginning of their flowering, in the morning or in the evening. This will preserve their firmness and prolong their freshness. In the composition, use plants of different stages of dissolution - from a tight bud to a fully blossoming inflorescence. The thorns should be removed from the rose, from jasmine and lilac - to split the ends of the stems. Tear off the lower leaves and twigs from all plants.
Step 2
Think about the shape and size of the bouquet. These parameters may vary depending on the purpose of the song and the time of year. Pick an odd number of flowers. Each stem should be cut obliquely with a sharp knife before composing the composition. The height of the flowers should not be the same - this gives the bouquet a natural naturalness and adds splendor to the bunch.
Step 3
Remember the compatibility and incompatibility of plants and shades. Flowers of the same type last longer than a mixed bouquet. Daffodils and tulips, roses and lilies of the valley, lilies and daisies are toxic to each other. Compatible flowers last longer. Cyclamens and calceolaria, tulips and cypress, woodruff and lilies of the valley extend each other's life. It is better not to combine some flowers at all with other species. For example, the neighborhood of roses, carnations and lilies is hard on.
Step 4
It is important to correctly combine the shades of the plants. You can make a bouquet of flowers of the same color of different intensity. Such a composition will be performed according to the principle of "monochromatic harmony". When a bunch is made up of plants that are similar in color in the spectrum, it is a "similar combination". Finally, flowers can be matched for contrast. The coloration of such plants will enhance the adjacent components of the bundle. This bouquet is called "harmonic contrast". Examples of opposite colors are red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple.
Step 5
Pick up a vase for the bouquet. Flowers should be about one and a half times higher than the vessel. Place graceful plants in a glass, crystal or porcelain vase. Simple flowers will look harmonious in a clay jug. If the bouquet is bright, it is better not to take a variegated vase.
A small round bouquet in a low vase can be placed in the center of the table. A tall, one-sided composition is best placed in a corner so it doesn't get in the way. If the stems and flowers are hanging down, then the bouquet looks good on the shelf.
Step 6
Take care of the bouquet. Change its water regularly, update the cuts of the stems. In some types of flowers, it is good to make cuts in those parts of the flower that are submerged in water. Use nutrient solutions to prolong the freshness of plants. Add sugar, alcohol, ammonium solution, aspirin, or disinfectants to the flower water. Spray the bouquet periodically with cold water - this replaces the natural dew of the plants.
