I just want a basic diagram of how to arrange a nice Floral arrangement.?

I have been a floral designer for about 6 years. I just started working with a small florist local to me. I really want to satisfy my boss and need some tips on how to be faster but more creative and cost affective. Do you have any advice for me?

I just want a basic diagram of how to arrange a nice Floral arrangement.?
the idea of multiples of threes gives balance, if you arrange them in the form of a pyramid or triangle. Start with the tallest stem inserted straight up. The two other stems that form the left and right points of the triangle should be the same length of the first stem. These should be the same type of flower (rose, iris, lily, etc. ) and the same color.





Next fill in the contrast color. Again use the three stems to fill in; then the complimentary color and last the filler. This pattern will result in a lovely presentation based on a fan shape and two dimensional. For a round presentation, simply rotate the arrangement and proceed to fill it in.





A variation on the above pattern would be to use the triangle of stems to frame an exotic center bloom. Or an asymetrical two larger, or more showy blooms staggered like a stair step with fill around them. With flower arrangements a tried and true approach is to have color, size, and placement balanced--don%26#039;t be afraid to leave some space in lacey arrangements such as with using Queen Anne%26#039;s Lace or baby%26#039;s breath.





If you lay out your stems with approximate lengths and your color combinations first, you will save time. As you become more practiced, you will become faster. Adding a complimentary ribbon or bird can bring a neat finishing touch to your arrangement.





(You know, this is harder to describe with words than to show a diagram.! Hope it helps. Actually, you cannot go wrong with flowers because they are so beautiful
Reply:The best advice I can give you is always work in multiples of 3. 3 flowers, 3 babies breath, 3 greeneries, etc. Contrast your colors with the main flowers being the brightest and the fill enhancing the flowers. I hope this helps.
