Floral Design
  • Competencies 30.00-32.00

2
Types of Design Materials
  • There are four basic types of design materials
  • Line flowers
  • Mass flowers
  • Form flowers
  • Filler flowers

3
Line Flowers
  • Tall spikes of flowers with florets blooming
    along the stem
  • Create the outline for an arrangement and
    establish the height and width as well as the
    curvilinear lines.

4
Line Flowers-Examples
  • Snapdragons
  • Gladiolus

5
Mass Flowers
  • Have the flower head on the terminal end of the
    stem
  • Draw attention to the focal point and add mass
    and weight to the arrangement.
  • Cover floral foam and help fill in empty areas
    with flowers

6
Mass Flowers-Examples
  • Carnations
  • Roses
  • Chrysanthemums

7
Form Flowers
  • Unique in shape or color
  • Create the accent or focal point or focal area of
    the arrangement to attract the viewers attention

8
Form Flowers-Examples
  • Bird of paradise
  • Orchid

9
Filler Flowers
  • Have small sprays of flowers or are like ferns
  • Used to fill empty spaces and to accent the other
    floral materials within the arrangement
  • Also used to cover or hide the mechanics of the
    arrangement including the frame, supports, ties,
    etc.

10
Filler Flowers-Examples
  • Babys breath
  • Statice

11
Floral Design Shapes
12
Round
  • Flower arrangement is basically round in shape

13
Oval
  • Flowers make an oval shaped arrangement

14
Fan
  • Flowers make a fan or semicircle shaped
    arrangement

15
Triangle
  • Shape may be an equilateral triangle with all
    three sides the same length or asymmetrical
    triangle with sides of different lengths.

16
Right Angle
  • Flowers make an L shape

17
Inverted-T
  • The flowers make an upside down T

18
Vertical
  • Straight up, in a bud vase, tall vertically,
    narrow horizontally

19
Horizontal
  • Long horizontal and short vertically

20
Diagonal
  • Halfway between vertical and horizontal

21
Crescent
  • Shaped like a quarter moon

22
Hogarth curve
  • Shaped like an S curve

23
Design Principles
24
Balance
  • When the flower size and container flow together
    and complement each other

25
Focal Point
  • Creates the accent and interest to catch the eye

26
Proportion
  • Keeps relative size, color and texture of the
    flowers to create a pleasing arrangement.
  • Floral designs should be at least 1 ½ to 2 times
    the height or width of the container.

27
Scale
  • The principle that the design must be in
    proportion to the surrounding area where it is
    placed.

28
Accent
  • Used to catch attention and draw attention to the
    design

29
Repetition
  • Accentuates the flowers and colors by repeating
    their use throughout the design

30
Rhythm
  • Creates a sense of continuity or flowing together

31
Harmony
  • When all parts flow together to give a completed
    look to the arrangment

32
Unity
  • When the flowers complement each other through
    color, size, and shape

33
Design Techniques
34
Steps in Designing Arrangements
  • Select a design shape
  • Select appropriate container, cut floral foam and
    attach to container
  • Set container and foam in water for 20 minutes
  • Select fern or other filler and arrange in foam
    to cover foam and extend at least 1 ½ times the
    width of the container.

35
Steps in Designing Arrangements
  • Insert flower to make arrangement desired height
