Principles of Floral Design

Up until now, you may have taken a bunch of beautiful flowers, placed them in a vase, and felt that something was missing—an elusive spark that would elevate your arrangement from ordinary to extraordinary. While the flowers look stunning when wrapped together, there often seems to be a disconnect in their display. Perhaps it’s the lack of thought put into the arrangement or an absence of foundational design principles that leaves your bouquet feeling uninspired. To amend this, you don’t need to dive deeply into the complexities of classical design; instead, you can utilize some essential principles to enhance how you arrange your blooms in the comfort of your home.
