Basic Principles of Floral Design:

  • Balance
    • Both visually and actually
  • Scale
    • Rule of 3, have 3 types of greens
    • 1/3 container, 2/3 floral
  • Proportion
    • Making sure the container is right for the florals
  • Orientation
    • Find out which way you want to arrangement to face, design from the center
  • Rhythm
    • Making sure that the eye dances over the arrangement
  • Contrast
    • Ensure there is enough different in color, shape and lines, to make the florals visually interesting
  • Spacing
    • Make sure every floral has room to shine
