2.Grasp the quality of cut flowers
That is, cut the flower buds with a floral arrangement when they are not yet in full bloom. If you buy flower branches at a flower shop or flower market, you should choose ones that are in bud, fresh and juicy, free of diseases and insect pests, and complete with flowers and leaves.
Lily: 4 degrees (raw: buds are small, green); 5 degrees (half-open: flowersThe buds are larger and the flower buds are beginning to color); 6 degrees (mostly open: the flower buds are too large and cracked).
Carnation:4 degrees ( Raw: the flower buds are small and the petals are not open); 5 degrees (half-open: the flower buds are small and the petals are slightly open); 6 degrees (mostly half-open: the flower buds are relatively large and the petals are mostly open); 7 degrees (fully open: the petals are all open) open).
When purchasing vases, they should be simple, generous, elegant, clean, and the shape and size should match the flowers. In order to keep it stable, you can put a few small stones at the bottom of the vase to prevent it from being top-heavy and for decoration.
Note: When arranging flowers in the office or at home, if you are not an enthusiast, it is recommended not to buy too many vases, especially those with too strong a sense of shape or too bright colors, because we need to change the flowers frequently , buying a versatile vase is enough. I strongly recommend a white porcelain vase, just buy one for less than 50 yuan. It is simple and high-end, and highlights the color of the flowers. It will not be too obtrusive when placed at home or in the office!
① Staggered height: That is, the position of the flower branches should be high and low, staggered front and back, not inserted on the same horizontal line, and do not arrange the flower branches in an equiangular shape, otherwise it will look dull and lack of artistry.
②Dense and dense: That is, the flowers and leaves should not be arranged at equal distances, but should be sparse and dense.
③ Combination of virtual and real: That is, flowers are real and leaves are virtual. Flower arrangements should have both flowers and leaves.
④Pitching and echoing: That is, the upper, lower, left and right flower branches should echo each other around the main branch to maintain integrity and balance between the flower branches.
⑤ The top is light and the bottom is heavy: That is, the buds are on top and the flowers are on the bottom; light colors are on top and dark colors are on the bottom.
⑥ Scattering at the top and gathering at the bottom: That is, the flower branches gather at the base and disperse at the upper part.
