Flower Arrangements.


The flower is the part of a plant that affects human emotions and feelings. Flowers have a variety of shapes, fragrances and dazzling colors. Flowers harmoniously intertwine with the human way of life. Because of this, flower arrangements arouse a feeling of happiness, peace and well-being and are perfect symbols for the emotions we feel for others in certain situations. Flower arrangements can express a mood and convey our thoughts and feelings more convincingly than any utterance of expression.  Flower arrangements can express our admiration, congratulations, sympathy or apology with equal success.

Any kind of creative flower arrangements conveys an expression of the depth of your emotions to match any occasion. Garden flower arrangements can make you feel like a kid with a box of crayons; whether you are the giver of a flower arrangement or the lucky receiver of a flower arrangement. Whatever combination of garden flower that is available for the flower arrangement – day lilies, hydrangeas, honeysuckle vines, roses, fresh lavender for fragrance - is a welcome gift for the recipient of a colorful flower arrangement.  A flower arrangement that utilizes color, beauty and fragrances creates a flower arrangement that shows how much you care.

Flower arrangements can be used in many ways to help in varied situations:

  • We can use flower arrangements to beautify our homes and as centerpieces for a table.

  • Flower arrangements can benefit someone who is sick or in pain to help in their recovery whether they are in the hospital or at home.

  • The key to flower arrangements is the use of different color schemes for aesthetic beauty. Some flower arrangements use primary colors with either soft or strong shades; other flower arrangements are pleasing with monochromatic schemes using 3 or 4 of the same color shades; some flower arrangements are aesthetically pleasing with complementary combinations of soft or strong primary and secondary colors of the color wheel.

  • There are multi styles of flower arrangements like potted plant arrangements using simple vessels; classic formal flower arrangements such as roses in a tall vase; informal country-style flower arrangements are perfect in an informal location; contemporary single flower arrangements in a modern group arrangement of containers is also a popular form of innovative flower arrangement.

Some tips for flower arrangements:

  • Think about the placement of your flower arrangement. The formal, modern or casual setting will dictate your decisions for your flower arrangement.

  • Think about the container you plan to use for your flower arrangement – this choice is an important influence on your flower arrangement. Which variety of garden flower will enhance its size, shape, color and texture to create the perfect flower arrangement?

  • Good flower arrangements need pleasing proportions; low flower arrangements should be a little wider than the container; and tall flower arrangements should be taller than the container.

  • Will the focal point of your flower arrangement be bold flowers with less conspicuous ones for the background; or will there be foliage in your flower arrangement to act as filler material to add texture and color contrast.

  • Balance and symmetry are another important factor for the creation of a pleasing flower arrangement.

All these factors add to the creation of the perfect flower arrangement to suit your needs.

Flower arrangements are entrenched in the traditions of the different parts of the world:

Flowers are used by certain cultures especially in the East in many ways: medicinally; in cuisine, as food; in teas, for fragrance and refreshment; decoratively for garnishing; and in art, as a form of inspiration.  Flower arrangement has been practiced in Thailand since ancient days. Various styles of flower arrangement are a popular pastime among noble Thai women. The principle of Thai flower arrangement is to create fine art and is evidenced in floral bouquet arrangements, garland making, floral lace, floral chain and ordination flower arrangements. The Thai art of flower arrangement brings national pride and is taught in school and colleges. Flower arrangements preserves the Thai cultural heritage. Some ceremonies and symbolism of Thai flower arrangements symbolize beauty and purity of mind. Nothing on earth represents good human feelings better than flowers and so from birth to death we can all relate to flower arrangements that we receive and give on all special occasions. These flower arrangements create and arouse a feeling of happiness and freshness.

Folk flower arrangements among the common people had its origin mainly in religious practices of early times. Flower arrangements with popular compositions found on the ancestral altars emphasized such themes as thanksgiving to benevolent gods, ancestor worship, appeals for good fortune, and the exorcism of ghosts and devils. The composition of these flower arrangements contained brilliant, eye-catching hues and colors. The types used in these flower arrangements included the peony, lotus, chrysanthemum, orchid, camellia, and rose. Among those flower arrangements for special significance were the coxcomb, the tuberose, the Chinese evergreen, and the cherry apple, each in its own season or bloom. Complex and varied color combinations in these flower arrangements contained three or four to more than a dozen different colors. Even flower arrangements with a limited number of flowers strived for as great a variety of color as possible. The same striking contrasts for flower arrangements were sought in the materials and designs of receptacles and vessels, in combination with decorative knotting or calligraphic scrolls. These also helped to accentuate the distinction between the vibrant folk flower arrangements and the subdued, stately hues of the literati school.
