Prepare these tools. "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools." The same goes for flower arranging
1Flower pliers: are sharp and can cut all kinds of flowers, including hard branches
2Thin soft wire: used to tie flowers
3Flower shears:Used to trim soft branches and leaves
4thorn remover:Remove branches and thorns from roses and other thorny flowers
5Jianshan: The densely covered sword nails on it can allow the flower branches to be inserted upright and play a role in fixing the flower branches. At the same time, the high-density base of Jianshan can also form a low center of gravity for the entire flower arrangement shape, maintaining the stability of the shape.
6Wet flower mud: It can fix the direction of flowers, but the flower mud is lighter and its ability to fix flowers is not as good as Jianshan. It is also water-absorbent and can help flowers store water.
It is recommended to start with the simplest flower utensils and learn the easiest to learn styling and color matching skills based on the flower utensils.
Flower vessel one: red wine bottle
Red wine bottles are so easy to get, and the mouth of the bottle is small, so you can’t put too many flowers in it, so it is especially suitable for beginners.
Style:
Shape 1: One high and one low
Look at the daisy and eucalyptus on the right side of the picture above - the daisy is low and the eucalyptus is high, showing a high and one low shape. This is the one high and one low modeling method.
This shape is very easy to learn. Just put long foliage flowers at the back and flowers with large flower plates such as daisies, peonies, roses, and lilies in the front to form a gap between one high and one low.
Suitable location: The one high and one low shape is suitable for placing in corners and corners of homes with relatively small space, and does not take up space.
Shape 2: Extended shape
Looking at the left side of the picture above, with the addition of the white-green flower "June Snow" extending out, the entire shape has changed from "one high and one low" to an "extended shape".
For flowers used for extension, remember to choose flowers with soft branches and foliage that can spread out, such as "June Snow" or "Lace", which are very suitable.
Color color:
Higher branches are generally darker in color, so the lower flowers need to be the finishing touch, and the colors should be as bright as possible. The specific color to use can be determined according to the color of the wine bottle - the teacher used a dark red wine bottle, so the flowers used daisies with the same dark color; if it was a lighter white wine bottle or the wine label It is light yellow and looks better with brighter flowers such as pink roses.
For the extended flowers, it is best to choose flowers with green leaves blooming with clusters of small white flowers, which can play a role in activating the color.
Flower vessel two: tray flowers
Flowers + foliage
Color color:
The tray has more space than a red wine bottle and can hold more flowers. The flowers for branches and leaves are mainly green. For flowers, if your color matching skills are average, just choose the same color. Be casual when inserting, preferably asymmetrical.
Flower vessel three, water cup
Shape: Different from the above two types of flower vessels, the water cup is more suitable for the "ball-shaped" shape
Tools:Wet flower clay
Steps:
1. Cut a piece of wet flower mud according to the size of the container, put it in the container, and then pour water on it.
2. Insert the trimmed flowers one by one into the wet flower mud. When pruning flower branches, remember to measure the height of the flower container before determining the height of the flower branches.
Shape: Different from the shapes used in the above two flower vessels, the water cup is more suitable for the "ball-shaped" shape
Basic things to note when arranging flowers
Pruning: Cut diagonally, which can increase the contact area between the flower branches and water and help the flower branches absorb water.
Choose flowers: Don’t be stingy with the petals. These are the petals left on the ground after Yaxing finished choosing a flower. Isn’t it very generous?
Change the water: If you use fresh flowers, change the water every day or two.
Color matching: People who like flowers should not worry too much about color matching. Flowers themselves are beautiful things. No matter how you understand color matching, even if you put flowers of all colors together, it won’t be too ugly. .
