A small bunch of fresh flowers, presented to a loved one, can improve mood and create a warm atmosphere in the house. But it is even more pleasant to give someone a bouquet made with your own hands. And, perhaps, you are one of those who, having learned the basics of floristry, will compose unique author's compositions.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to create a beautiful bouquet, experienced florists first of all advise you to pay attention to the combination of flowers, the shape and technique of its composition.
Step 2
When choosing a color scheme, you can rely on your taste and not limit your impulses of imagination. You can make a monochromatic bouquet that always looks beautiful, or you can pick up flowers of different colors. But in this case, it must be borne in mind that some flowers do not go well with each other at all. For example, you should not collect a bouquet of lilies and poppies, do not tolerate the presence of other types of roses, daffodils, lilies of the valley.
Step 3
The composition must be complemented with herbs or twigs. If you add a geranium branch to the bouquet, then it can significantly extend the life of other flowers. Bouquets with decorative elements - various ribbons, lace, etc., also look advantageous. But in no case should you pile up the bouquet - a measure is needed in everything.
Step 4
Bouquets can be very diverse in shape - round, linear, one-sided - it all depends on its purpose and the size of the vase. So, it is better to place large compositions in a tall dish and put on the floor. Round in shape and low bouquets will look best on the table. Flowers with hanging stems are perfect for wall shelves. For the decoration of business events, linear bouquets are more suitable.
Step 5
Round bouquets are usually arranged around one flower. Take one flower in your left hand, and start adding the following to it with your right. In this case, the stems of flowers should touch only at the point of binding, so try to apply the following flowers in a spiral. In the process, you can add greenery to the flowers. At the end, tie the bouquet in the same place where the stems touch.
Step 6
One-sided bouquets are very simple in their design. They are composed of plants of various lengths. The longest plants are usually set at the back, the shorter ones in front, in tiers. It is important to place large and bright flowers in the center, then your bouquet will turn out to be very effective.
Step 7
Linear bouquets are collected from a small number of plants with the addition of openwork branches, stems, leaves.
