You also need to give flowers competently. The basic rules for creating a bouquet and fashion trends are in our review.
Big bouquet of flowers
1. You cannot put antagonistic flowers in one vase: roses with carnations, and tulips with daffodils. Both those and others will not live long in the same vessel. Lilies of the valley, lilies, daffodils, carnations, primrose and sweet peas secrete a poisonous sap that accelerates the wilting of other flowers. Therefore, the best place for them is in mono bouquets.
2. Flowers containing milky juice (latexes) will last much longer if the ends of the stems are first burned over a candle or lighter, and then immediately placed in cold water. It refers to , dahlia, peony, hydrangea, etc.
3. A sprig of geranium serves as a natural preservative. Subtly include it in the bouquet – and he .
4.Monochrome (one-color) bouquets are in fashion. You can combine them from one type of flower – for example, yellow tulips, lilac irises or red freesia. But the play of textures and sizes will look much more interesting – when you combine needle chrysanthemums, terry carnations, delicate and a small bush rose.
5.Don’t mix humble wildflowers and exotic plants. The touching simplicity of daisies, lilies of the valley or bells will be killed by tropical orchids or … Choose “soloists” and create a bouquet around them. Twigs and herbs are suitable for a chamomile, a palm leaf for an orchid.
6. Choose flowers of different heights and in different stages of blooming. Let some be still tight buds, while others are fully open – this way you will kill two birds with one stone: present a beautiful bouquet that will change before your eyes, acquiring a new mood.
Potted plants are now a strong competition for cut flowers, as this is a much longer investment. Only the pot must be necessarily transparent (glass or plastic) – so that the ground and plant roots are clearly visible. In order not to immediately shock the gifted with a lump of earth, ask the employees of the florist to decorate the pot with festive packaging.
7.Place large, bright flowers (roses, lilies, gerberas) in the center, and small and pale flowers (spray roses, chrysanthemums) around the edges. Then your composition will look harmonious.
8.The fashion for minimalism has also touched on floristry. A bouquet consisting of only a few plants is very relevant now. Preference is given to noble flowers (calla lilies, roses, lilies) and clean lines. In such a composition, there is a lot of air and little foliage. The emphasis is on the colors themselves.
9. Forget about foil, bright corrugated paper and all kinds of ruffles – this season flowers prefer a laconic wrapper. Plain transparent cellophane, natural sisal, burlap, plain crumpled paper … and it is better to do without packaging at all.
