Basic Floral Design Shapes
When Designing floral arrangements it is
necessary to determine what shape arrangement is
desired. The person designing the arrangement
will look like when it is completed. Basic
floral design shapes include round (circular),
triangle, horizontal, crescent, hogarth (s)
curve, and right angle.

Design Principles
Balance- is achieved in a floral design when
flower size and container flow together and
complement each other. The arrangement has visual
weight on each side of the axis to make it stand
alone. If the arrangement is symmetrical the
floral design could be divided in half ad have
equal visual weight on each side of the
arrangement.

More Principles...
Focal Point- It is important in some designs
because it creates the accent and interest. This
will catch the eye of the viewer.
Proportion- in an arrangement is important to
keep relative size, color, and texture of the
flowers to create a pleasing arrangement.
Scale- Is a principle that must be taken into
consideration. The size of the flowers, where the
arrangement is to be used, placement of the
arrangement, and overall size of the completed
design are all factors of scale.

Some more design principles
Accent-Is used in a design to draw attention to
the design. Many Many designers use the focal
point to create this emphasis.
Repetition-Is used to accentuate the flowers and
colors used in a design.Repeating the use of
material or color throughout the design can be
very effective. Rhythm-Creates a sense of
continuity among the shapes,colors, and and
textures.

Two More...
Harmony- Is to created in a floral design when
all the parts flow together to give a total,
completed look to the arrangement. Unity-Is
created when all of the arrangement flows
together and is not segmented.

Design Materials
Line flowers are ones such as snapdragons,
delphinium, and gladiolus. In most cases these
flowers are used to establish the outer framework
of an arrangement. Massing flowers are those
which have the flower head on the terminal end of
the stem. These flowers are used in the
arrangement to create all of the design
principles and to accent the focal point. Some
examples are roses, carnations, chrysanthemums,
and asters.

Form flowers are those which have a unique shape
or form. They may be used to create the accent or
the focal point. Bird of paradise, potea, and
orchid are a few.

Hang on there is one more!
Filler flowers are used to tie the arrangement
together. They help to fill any empty spaces in
the design. They are also used to cover the
mechanics of the arrangement. Some examples are
bakers fern, asparagus fern, babys breath,
Statice, heather, huckleberry, and palm.
