Points of Oriental Flower Arrangement

Flower branch and flower vessel scale size should be appropriate

Measuring the size of the flower: the size of the flower = height and diameter. Determine the height of the first main branch: the standard scale is 1.5 times the size of the flower scale; if the environment requires that the composition of the flower arrangement be enlarged, it can be as high as twice the size of the flower vessel; if the environment is small and for personal enjoyment only, it should be reduced to double. Determine the height of the second and third main branches: the height of the second main branch should be 3/4 of the length of the first main branch; the height of the third main branch should be 3/4 of the height of the second main branch. around the three main branches to supplement the flower branch is called "secondary branches", as the name suggests, is to accompany. Works with secondary branches to enrich the entire composition, so the number of secondary branches is unlimited, according to the needs of the work can be freely increased or decreased. But there is a principle that the height of each branch cannot exceed the height of its subordinate main branch. The length of the main branch is limited, while the secondary branches can only be arranged according to each person's aesthetic standards and their own artistic cultivation.

Large flowers should be paired with small flowers

If the main flower is a rose, the guest flower should be paired with a gladiolus; if the main flower is a dahlia, the guest flower should be paired with a gerbera daisy; if the main flower is a lily, the guest flower should be paired with a yucca flower. Never match different kinds of flowers in similar shapes, or the main and guest flowers will be separated.

Dark colors should be matched with light colors

If the color of the main flower is scarlet, that means the guest flower should be matched with a reddish color. If the same scarlet color is used, or if the guest flower is darker than the main color, it tends to usurp the role of the host.

Matching leaves can only be used in one way

If the main flower has leaves and the guest flower also has leaves, only one can be chosen at the expense of the other; or neither can be used, and mountain grass added. It would be too messy to use both leaves together, or several types of mountain grasses together.

Flowers and leaves should be sloped rather than upright

Whether it is a pot or a vase, the attitude of the flowers and leaves should always be sloped, not upright. As to how the slope is more desirable, it depends on the size and shape of the specific flower. The rules should be sparse but not dense, more or less picturesque, and the rules should never be too dense. There is a sense of suffocation ventilation, making it difficult; sparse foliage is easy to show the beauty.

Flowers and foliage must not be generally high

There should be a draft before pruning to cut. The main flower should be slightly higher and the guest flower slightly lower; the matching foliage must not be as high as the flower. If the florist is a disk or round vase, the leaves should be spread out and hang around the florist.

Floral vessels and flowers of different colors

The color of the flowers should never be the same as the color of the pot or vase; for example, if the flowers are bright red, purple, large yellow, or dark yellow, then the flowers should be all white or light blue. This way, the darkness and light can set off the bright colors of the flowers. If the flower is darker with the floral arrangement, the look and feel will be greatly diminished.

Floral properties must be recognized

When choosing flowers, it is important to know the durability of the main and guest flowers. It is preferred that the main flower and the guest flower have the same durability; otherwise, it is disappointing to see that the guest flower has faded although the main flower is still glowing, or that the guest flower is still fresh but the main flower has withered.

Placement must be appropriate

The height of the flower vessel also determines the overall pattern of the flower arrangement. So after the flower arrangement is completed, the placement depends on the height of the flower arranger. For example, short and round should be placed on the dining table or wine cooler; high should be placed in front of the window or desk. If the arrangement is not properly placed, viewing will also be less interesting.

Flowering branches should be clear

When cutting flower branches, we should choose the most beautiful one as the main branch, and the rest as the auxiliary branches and supporting branches to supplement the main branch to make it more full, and to achieve a balanced effect in the whole composition.

Flower distribution should be even

Both the main flower and the guest flower should be considered to echo each other, and the flower distribution is even. The main branch, auxiliary branch and sword branch should be matched properly to form a whole.

Water quality should always be kept clean

Whether it is a bottle or a pot, the water used to grow flowers must always be clean.
