It is necessary
- - flowers,
- - a knife for trimming,
- - vase (flower basket).
Instructions
Step 1
For compositions, it is better to cut flowers in the early morning, when the leaves and buds have not yet fully opened, and the moisture accumulated overnight has not yet evaporated. These flowers will last longer and look better.
Step 2
When composing a composition, do not use branches from other compositions, even if they look great, since such plants already have bacteria that will then get into the water, as a result, such a flower arrangement will not last long.
Step 3
When composing a composition, consider for what purpose it will be intended. If this is a gift, then different flowers are suitable for male and female bouquets. Roses, gladioli, calla lilies, orchids are considered masculine. In this case, you should avoid delicate shades (pink, white, pastel). Men's bouquets are usually oblong, extended upwards. For a business partner, the bouquet should be strict in its shape; it is better to use large flowers (gladioli, anthuriums). In terms of color, the composition should be rich and active, it is good if it reflects the character of the person to whom it is intended. When composing a room decoration, look at the style of the room and compose the composition accordingly. For large rooms, you can make bouquets of large large flowers and put them in floor vases. For small rooms, you can make small flower baskets that emphasize the comfort of the room.
Step 4
Before starting work, trim the ends of the stems so that they absorb moisture better later. In woody plants (lilac, jasmine), split the stem with a knife. In some plants (for example, a peony), the end of the stem will need to be burned so that milky juice does not stand out and does not affect other flowers in the composition. If possible, it is better to use rainwater or thawed water instead of tap water.
Step 5
In any composition, including a floral one, there should be some kind of accent that will attract the eye. Usually large or bright flowers play this role. They are placed in the center, and smaller and inconspicuous plants are placed around.
Step 6
In terms of color, the composition can be made in contrast, for example, using white and blue flowers. Or you can make a bouquet of red flowers, but pick them up in different shades (from pale red to bright scarlet), and surround all this splendor with green leaves.
Step 7
Some flowers fade quickly when combined with other species. For example, daffodils, carnations, lilies, poppies and lilies of the valley are best placed separately. But a branch of a thuja or geranium, on the contrary, allows the composition to retain its freshness and beauty longer.
