People are often
wondering what to get for present. It is very hard to buy something and fit
somebody else’s taste. What is anyway common for all presents we bring are the
flowers. They are always present and accompanying every occasion and event. It
can be anniversary, birthday or wedding. They are even at the saddest moments
in people’s life.
It can be very useful to
know how to make simple arrangements, in order not to have to run to the
florists for every small bouquet you want to give somebody. If you know few
essential tips you will be able to make beautiful arrangements for friends and
family and even make it with flowers from your own garden. That will be
extremely kind for every person.
When you are beginner at
this it is good to stick to the simple. Do not use bright colors and do not put
flowers that are contrasting, because you can choose the wrong combination.
However when you get more confident with time you can start experimenting and go
for colors like red and blue and even mix them in one arrangement.
In case you want to add
dramatic look to your bouquet you can try to make the next arrangement. Take
several kinds of flowers with the same hue. Good choices will be for example
the ruby-red dahlias or the maroon snapdragons. Start arranging the other basic
color which in this case will be blue in your hand. For this contrasting
bouquet you can pick larkspur, blue veronica, asters and lisianthus all in dark
blue or purple. As you are already holding them put the others with the red
color between them. The more the dark flowers are, the bigger the contrast
gets. Remember that one last thing and decide for your self what level of drama
you want to achieve in this arrangement. The obligatory green parts will find
their place at the edges of the bouquet. The flowers you have used will best go
with ivy, hosta and euphorbia.
For the next suggestion
you will only need violet and purple flowers. They always look very elegant and
stylish and have the ability to mingle with the clashing shades as they took
the best of them and create special calm and tranquil atmosphere. To put the
artistic spirit in your vase cut some bunches from some of the next flowers – tulips,
irises, hydrangeas and hyacinths. For those that can be seen in more than one
color make sure that for this special arrangement you have picked only those
from the indigo color range. Leave them in bunches as they are divided in their
kinds, do not mix them like with the other arrangements. To mark the center of
the bouquet, pick the brightest flowers. Thus you will also create focal point
in your arrangement. On the opposite side of the bouquet put greeneries to
contrast the focal point.
There are many people who fall for the huge
arrangements. They are their favorite ones to give and receive. Here is one
suggestion in case you are one such person. Gladiolus is the best choice for
huge arrangements. They are always tall and high. They usually go very well
with other flowers as well. For this arrangement pick some in bright and
dramatic colors, like red and white. You will also need big container which is
very stable as well. A red colored bucket will also do great job. Put the
gladioluses to spread nicely in the bucket and then finish with round clusters
of sedum.
