Flower Arranging Basics: Color, Containers, and Creativity

Color Theory Made Simple

Use the color wheel: primary (red, blue, yellow), secondary (orange, purple, green), and intermediates. Green is universal. Blue cools, red heats, yellow cheers, purple calms, orange dramatizes.

Arrangement Styles

• Monobotanic (one flower type) or monochromatic (one color, varying shades).
• Shapes: oval, horizontal, triangular, vertical.
• Three flower sizes + greenery/berries/twigs for symmetry.

Beyond Vases

Use teapots, champagne glasses, clay pots, baskets—any clean, polished container.

Pro Tips

• Soak floral foam 30 min in water with flower food.
• Space evenly, largest first, balance sides.
• Ribbons, candlesticks, holiday colors add flair.
