Our regular author, Floristic designer Anastasia Zilina will tell how to create a stylish floral composition in a low vase at home. Forest scissors, patience and ... inspiration!
Today we will tell you the basic principles and rules for constructing a floristic composition in a low vase. With the help of our expert Anastasia Zhilina, we will witness the creation of floral history at home without additional floristic fixtures. You will need a secateur (or kitchen scissors) and a little inspiration. So, start!
Preparation
Clean the flowers from the leaves and sort separately by type. Fill the vase with warm water. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, catch the perfect moment of the present (without it in any way :)).
Foundation
To create a foundation, you can use any greens (branches). Greens performs two important features:
- Sets the form of a future composition.
- Lines the "cage" at the base of the vase that will keep flowers.
Than saturated the "cage" at the base of the composition, the easier it is to set the direction of colors. We recommend using greens with solid stem or branches.
Flowers
After the form is specified, we start adding flowers. We choose the largest in size. For each individual flower we plan a place in the composition, trying in height and cut the stem.
Imagine that you draw a picture: first large "strokes", then smaller and in the end of the details and glare.
We will create an asymmetrical floral composition in a garden style, which involves compliance with certain principles. Let's dwell on them in more detail.
Principles of Garden Style:
one. Flowers are unevenly located.
2. Group some of them together, but consider that each individual flower is a logical continuation of the form of the composition.
3. The level of height of each flower should not be the same. Some of them can be dried into greens, and some location on the surface
four. Branches with inflorescences are forming. Consider the branch, read where its stems are directed and find the perfect place for it.
In the process of building, you always have the opportunity to move a little each of the composition participants to achieve the desired form.
Small flowers
Fill in small colors empty areas.
Color accents will add "liveliness" and shade the main tone of the composition.
Final strokes
Final strokes are created from small colors and branches.
Direct them in the opposite side to create a wild garden effect.
Each composition should have a central place for unusual guests.
Remember the rule of mini-groups?

Almost done! Only one little twig ...
Meet! Such beauty with regular water renewal (once every 3 days) will live at least a week. Also, much depends on the temperature and humidity indoors. Flowers like coolness or moderate warm without direct sunlight.
