Floral Design

Even the best flowers and foliage can look positively 'wrong' simply because
 no thought has gone into the design of the display. 
Generally design means considering three basic principles before you begin:
outline and form; harmony (colour and setting); and balance and scale.

The shape of an arrangement depends largely on the flowers and foliage
your are using as well as the shape and size of the container. Tall stems and foliage usually
establish the outline or height of the display, while bold flowers or full blooms
very often form the focal point, or the centre, of the arrangement.  Other foliage and flowers
 are used to fill in the outline, and contrasting colours or textures can be recessed into the
 arrangement to give depth.  The angle from which the arrangement is to be seen will
 also affect the shape of the finished display - whether it is a table centre to be
viewed from all sides or a front facing display as placed in a fireplace. 
Another thing to consider is the aim of the arrangement for example a table centre
 for a dinner party needs to be low so your guests can speak to each other over the top of it!

Harmony is really self explanatory.  Look at the colours; do they contrast?
Or are they toning shades of similar colours?  In what or on what will the display be seen -
 don't put a yellow bouquet in a pink room - use pink blue and purple shades instead of
yellow orange and reds and vice versa with a yellow room. 
The setting of any display i.e coffee table, entrance hallway, guest bedroom or kitchen or wherever,
 is of vital importance.  A small 'posy' in a delicate container would be utterly lost in a large room.
 So think of the position of the display, the lighting in the room etc.

Above all the display should be well balanced - looking neither top heavy nor lopsided.
 The shape can be a traditional symmetrical design, or a more free-flowing or random one.
Before you start an arrangement, decide on the type of display you wish to
create whether it is to be symmetrical or asymmetrical, triangular, round or semi-circular.

Think ahead about how the flowers will be positioned to best balance each other
 and avoid putting large blooms above smaller, delicate stems - this makes the arrangement
 look top heavy.

 These are basic guidelines and you don't have to follow them.
 At the end of the day, so long as you are happy with the design then its perfect!
