Fresh floral arrangements enhance the décor and blend into many spaces by bringing a dash of color and excitement. Professional florists in the UAE know how to make elegant arrangements by combining multiple flowers or using a single type. Different occasions call for different flowers; this is why you need to consult an expert before attempting to DIY and end up with a disaster.
Essential Floral Arrangement Tools
The only way to have a flawless floral arrangement is to use the right tools. Most florists have a small kit full of tools to use in their profession. Essential tools include floral clippers for cutting leaves, stems, and clip ends off flowers to use in various arrangements.
You can use a floral knife, a sharp paring knife, or a Swiss army knife for trimming stems or leaves. Wire cutters are also essential; you should never use floral clippers or knives to cut wire; it makes them blunt and unable to work effectively.
Chicken wire is used for larger arrangements; it is ideal for keeping larger floral arrangements in place. Florist wire is used to secure individual items, especially long ones. This wire is usually available in 18 inches of length.
The Beast Floral Arrangement Ideas
Creating a beautiful floral arrangement takes time and effort, but it is possible to create a professional-looking arrangement by trying these ideas.
Full Flower Arrangement
You can create a full floral arrangement by using a wide decorative bowl. You can start this process after requesting your florist to send flowers online. Place biodegradable florist foam in the bowl. Insert a carnation or a full rose in the middle of the foam block; this allows it to stick a few inches above the bowl’s edge. Surround this flower with other large flowers, and then rotate the arrangement as you add other blooms to create an asymmetrical look.
Mixed Flower Arrangement
An hourglass vase is ideal for mixed flower arrangements of various heights. Select a pre-mixed bouquet by type to arrange your flowers. Hold all flowers with the largest heads in one hand and then move the stems up and down to create a lovely bouquet; these form the arrangement's central point. Cut the stems, place them in the vase, and then add marbles; they will hold the flowers in place as you add more blooms. Add flowers with smaller heads inserting tall stems first and then short and frail stems.
Simple
Choose a tall, cylindrical vase and fill it with long-stemmed flowers; this creates a simple, classic arrangement. Flowers with long stems like lilies, sweet peas, and irises are ideal. Other good candidates include poppies, orchids, and other flowering branches. It’s wise to choose some flowers with unopened buds; this way, they will last longer. Ensure that when cutting stems, they extend at least twice the vase’s height.
Peony Bouquet
Peonies are some of the most beautiful flowers, and they brighten any room or event. Large blooms are easy to arrange. Start arranging these blooms as soon as you order from your florist to send flowers online. A simple tip is to make a stripe down the middle with the flowers, anchor the left side with flowered cabbage, and then place a large white hydrangea on the right side. Put pretty pink peonies in the middle; you can also add a few buds if you like.
Centerpiece Arrangement
Centerpiece floral arrangements are low enough to allow effective conversations. A silver bowl is perfect to use for this arrangement. Using moist floral foam in shallow containers gives frail stems stability. Hang white strawberries along the bowl’s edge, and then disperse large roses along the base of your arrangement. Put two roses in the center and then use pansies, sweet peas, and hypericum to fill any gaps.
Three Tier
The best way to have a beautiful floral arrangement is to request your florist to send flowers online. This is quick, and you are sure to get fresh blooms. Did you know that long-stemmed blooms are excellent for full bouquets? Choose multiple colors of the same flower; this makes it easier to arrange. You only have to work with dark and light colors. For instance, you can choose China asters and zinnias in various pink shades.
Trim any leaves below the waterline and then place the tallest bloom in the vase. Cut off half of the other stems so that the heads fall an inch below the tallest flower. Cut the remaining stems to lie on the vase’s opening and fill any gaps with other blooms like wild verbena.
Colorful Arrangement
People tend to stay away from dark vibrant flowers, but they are excellent for added drama. Select dark flowers in a similar hue like maroon ‘Black Prince’ snapdragons and red-ruby dahlias; these make the color impact more obvious. Arrange the base color in one hand and then place a few dark-hued flowers in between. Use a few dark flowers to bring contrast. Surround the arrangement with euphoria, hosta, or ivy.
Far-Reaching Arrangement
Did you know that gladiolas complement other flowers? They add drama and instant height, and color to any arrangement. It is advisable to use a sturdy vase or container to hold these blooms. Place the gladiolas in the container and ensure that they cove the back. Fill any gaps with round clusters of Ornithogalum or sedum.
Large Flower Arrangements
Elegant floral arrangements are effortless to create if you choose large blooms like roses, lisianthus, and lilies. Start by arranging 2 or 3 of the largest blooms in one hand. Add other large flowers in bunches of threes around the large ones and vary the heights. When you are satisfied with your work, trim the stems and place them in a vase. Place long snapdragons near the back of the vase and then fill the arrangement with tiny springs of greenery.
Florists take time to create beautiful arrangements and bouquets because they know which flowers complement each other; they also know how to use multiple hues together. Although creating elegant floral arrangements looks complicated, you can do it by following the ideas above.
