Methods and skills of flower arrangement

Lead: Chinese flower arrangement is an ancient traditional cultural phenomenon, mostly to meet subjective and emotional needs, and it is also a special form of entertainment in daily life. Flower arrangement originated from ancient folk love flowers, planting flowers, enjoying flowers, picking flowers, sending flowers, enjoying flowers and hairpin flowers. Let's take a look at the methods and techniques of flower arrangement with me. I hope it will help everyone.

Bouquets are widely used in social activities and celebrations. Usually divided into the following two kinds: etiquette bouquet and bride bouquet.

(1) Etiquette bouquet. It is mainly used for welcoming, sending and celebrating activities. Its main shapes are fan-shaped, triangular, conical, hemispherical and freestyle. Flowers should be of good quality, non-irritating, pollution-free and have a long flowering period. Bright and lively colors are suitable. When planting, it is necessary to avoid arranging the flower branches into flat pieces or bunching them up during the day. The former is dull and the latter is messy. No matter what the shape is, the upper branches of the bouquet should be kept natural, and the lower part, especially the handle part, should be round and tight, which meets the requirements. Therefore, when inserting, you should make each flower branch overlap in your hand in a way of "pressing right against left", and the branches intersect at one point, which is in the shape of a spiral shaft from right to left, and then tie the intersection point with a rope. So that the shape of the bouquet is not easily out of shape.

(2) Bridal bouquet. Also called the bride to hold flowers. It is a kind of bouquet specially designed for brides to wear wedding dresses when they get married. It is very popular. The main shapes are round, inverted L-shaped, radial, inverted vertical and various freestyle graphics. At present, there are only two kinds of circular and inverted in China. The choice of flower materials is exquisite, such as rose, lily, calla lily, carnation and Cao Xia. Color collocation is mostly harmonious and elegant monochrome or similar colors.

The shape, color matching and packaging ribbon of the bride's flower worship should be coordinated with the bride's body shape, face shape, temperament and clothing. For example, a slim bride should choose a round bouquet; Dumpy people should choose to pour flowers; A dignified and quiet bride should choose a round or inverted bouquet; Outgoing and lively brides should choose freestyle bouquets. The design and color should be coordinated with the wedding dress, and it is not appropriate to match it with contrasting colors. Ribbons should be in harmony with the main color.

It is very important to add wrapping paper and ribbon to the bouquet, just as a good flower must have green leaves to support it. Foreign countries are quite fastidious about this, and most of them are printed with transparent wrapping paper or covered with transparent plastic bags.

There are two ways to fix the flowers in the bouquet: one is to tie them with thin wire. Every flower and leaf is wrapped with thin iron wire wrapped with green tape before modeling. The other is to use a special receptacle with flower paste in it, and insert the flowers in the receptacle according to the shape. This method is simpler and easier.

The greening and beautification of modern living rooms not only adopts decorative techniques such as placing, hanging and hanging, but also mainly adopts the art of flower arrangement to beautify indoor space and increase the interest of life.

the art of inserting flowers

Generally speaking, the art of flower arrangement needs to master the "six methods", namely: patchwork, well-proportioned, combination of reality and reality, pitching echo, emphasizing on the top and neglecting on the bottom, and gathering on the top. Specific creation should pay attention to:

(2) Flowering-Flowering branches are rich in appearance, but not miscellaneous, which sets off the artistic conception and atmosphere.

(3) Others are inclined horizontal type and cliff type. Peony is good, but it still depends on the green leaves. Beautiful flower arrangement needs simple and dignified containers to set off. Common shallow water flowers suitable for this kind of container are narcissus, Lycoris radiata, pansy, cyclamen and so on. Some people also like to arrange flowers with high pots or special-shaped utensils. Tubular flower arrangement has always been appreciated by literati, because bamboo tubes have the advantages of beauty, light yellow and elegant color, which can be combined with bamboo carving art. In addition, family spoons, pots, plates, bowls and cups, etc. It can also be used for flower arrangement, which can create a rich flavor of life.
