With the improvement of modern people's spiritual civilization and material living standards, many families are becoming more and more interested in flower arrangement. A good piece of flower arrangement should have beauty in shape, color, and artistic conception, making it a noble art piece full of vitality. To achieve this goal, it is mainly realized through the selection of materials and flower arrangement skills. Flower arrangement is like painting, it must have the "intention before the brush," that is, it is necessary to think about the theme of the work before arranging flowers. Without构思, lack of planning, randomly inserting many flower branches together cannot produce a good work. Although family flower arrangement is mainly used to decorate the living space and does not require a high theme, it should also follow certain composition principles to achieve good results.
Basic steps of flower arrangement at home:
(1) Selection and processing of flower materials. The choice of flower materials is very wide, any plant with ornamental value in terms of flowers, leaves, stems, and fruits can be cut as flower arrangement materials. The ideal flower branches should have flowers that are only 70-80% open, with buds still waiting to bloom. First, remove the残叶, small branches, and thorns from the selected flower branches, and when pruning, pay attention to the principle of "following nature," trying to preserve the plant's natural and beautiful posture, and avoid excessive pruning. Then, according to the composition requirements, cut the flower branches into different lengths, thicknesses, and curves, and cut the base of the flower branches diagonally.
(2) Planting flower materials. Insert the processed flower materials into a vase or other containers. The height of the container should be coordinated with the height of the flower branches. Generally, the height of the flower branches is 1.5-2 times the height of the vase. If the branches are too long, the center of gravity is unstable, making it top-heavy; if the branches are short and the vase is tall, it looks ungraceful. When arranging flowers, usually select large and colorful flowers as the main branches, insert them into the container first as a framework, and then insert smaller flowers and ornamental leaf plants as auxiliary materials and foliage into the bottle.
To make flower arrangement artistic, it is necessary to master the skills:
① High and low arrangement. The positions of the branches should be at different heights and distances, not in the same horizontal line, nor arranged in equilateral triangles, otherwise it will look rigid and lack artistry.
② Sparse and dense arrangement. Flowers and leaves should not be evenly spaced, but should have both sparse and dense areas.
③ Combination of solid and void. Flowers are solid, leaves are void, and the work should have both flowers and leaves.
④ Echoing up and down. The branches on the top, bottom, left, and right should echo each other around the main branch to maintain unity and balance.
⑤ Light on top, heavy on bottom. Buds on top, full flowers on bottom; light colors on top, dark colors on bottom.
⑥ Spread on top, gather at bottom. Base branches gather, top branches spread out.
There are various forms of flower arrangement, and here are a few commonly used forms in family settings:
① Natural style flower arrangement, in both conception and creation, considers the natural form of flowers, fully expressing the natural and artistic beauty of the work. Usually seasonal flowers are selected. When arranging, pay attention to the basic balance between flowers, leaves, branches, and the container. For example, using a tall and elegant vase to insert a few branches of beautiful chrysanthemums, orchids, or branches of pine, bamboo, and plum, which is elegant and popular.
② Wild style flower arrangement, can use wild flowers, herbs, and aquatic plants as the main materials. Containers can be flexible, using everyday items such as teacups, bamboo tubes, wine bottles, and children's toys. The shape is relatively casual, but the color tone should be harmonious.
③ Wall hanging flower arrangement, wall-mounted containers are mostly semi-sided vessels. The shape usually uses natural techniques, fully expressing the natural beauty of flowers. Pay attention to clever layout to make the shape vivid and interesting. In terms of material selection, delicate, soft, elegant, and small flowers are suitable, with ornamental ferns and other small leafy plants as companions.
④ Fruit and vegetable flower arrangement, using fruit plates and dishes as containers. Insert 3-5 seasonal branches in the front half of the container, with one long and colorful branch as the main branch, and the rest as companion materials, along with Asparagus sprengeri as decorative leaves. On the other side of the container, place fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. As the seasons change, rearrange them to get a new look. This type of flower arrangement has a strong sense of life, making it亲切 and natural after viewing.
