Arrangement types

It's come to our realization that although we've talked about various types of flowers to use in arrangements, we haven't even covered the different types of arrangements!

To being with, there are 5 basic types of arrangements to use in floral design. And for each arrangement form, the use of local flowers, line flowers and filler flowers is a must! The different between the 10 is of course, the shape of design.

The following are the various types.

1. Pyramid: The base is a triangle and is very tall. Generally used as a table centerpiece. 

2. Dome: A dome arrangement is round. The container used in this arrangement should be medium in height. Additionally, it is an all around arrangement with the same distribution of flowers all around. 

3. Crescent: Is a curve arrangement that is quite difficult to make because it is asymmetrical. The proportion much be balanced from whichever angle you look at. In addition, the weight must be balanced too so that the arrangement is stable. 

4. Horizontal: Is a low arrangement but the length is usually 2 times the height. A classic horizontal arrangement is symmetrical, which means the length on both sides is the same. More so, the placement of the flowers should be mirrored on the other side. 

5. Fan: Is an arrangement that's shaped into a fan. In order to build the fan, you must use flowers with long and strong stems like the gladious, ester and others. With this arrangement you can be creative with the focal area and create any design.
