I mainly use the following materials:
Some plants don't match. They tend to release substances into the water that poison other plants. It is customary to keep roses, carnations and lilies separately from others.
Gift bouquets have their own characteristics. Flowers have always had their own meaning. Coloring also implies a certain message. Even the packaging matters.
Using too many different flowers (more than 4 types) makes the composition heavy, heaped or too rustic. A bouquet from a novice florist should be different from a set of wild flowers.
Etiquette in floristry is getting more and more developed. It is getting more and more attention. If flowers can convey the feelings of the donor, then the composition can have the value of a full-fledged postcard.
According to the canons of design in any field, the ideal combination is the three primary colors. With regard to the composition of bouquets, this rule also applies. A beginner will demonstrate good taste if he sticks to a modest color palette.
The quality of flowers, especially live ones, is very important factor. The arranged bouquet looks sloppy if there are spots on the leaves or the stem is sluggish. There are tricks to keep fresh flowers in good condition: store at a suitable temperature, cut the stems at an angle, peel them from leaves and shoots to the water level. The cut needs to be updated sometimes - the flowers will last longer.

Before proceeding to the composition of the bouquet, you need to think everything through. It is very important to decide on the shape, color and composition.
It is worth remembering that some plants do not tolerate any neighborhood. If you chose wild flowers, then it is better not to add anything else to them. The same rule applies to exotic plants. For example, an orchid can be framed with a small amount of greenery. There are also flowers that are an excellent background for almost all other plants. These are irises and decorative sunflowers.
DIY flower bouquets: how to make?
For those who make a bouquet of fresh flowers with their own hands for the first time, professionals advise choosing options from one type of flowers. Floristry for beginners also involves a number of other features.
- There are several styles of making bouquets of fresh flowers. Most are done in a massive style. In this case, there is no free space between the elements. Simple bouquets of the same type of flowers can be attributed to the linear style.
- Do-it-yourself bouquets of flowers do not tolerate stylistic enumeration. You should not use too many types of plants when creating a composition. As a result, you will get something overloaded and clumsy. Enough 2-3 varieties and a small amount of greenery.
- The creation of any bouquet can be decomposed into points. To begin with, we determine the shape and composition, then - the color compatibility and the number of plants in the bouquet. If you are going to make a bouquet of flowers growing in your garden, it is recommended to cut them at an angle. Next, put them in water. For those flowers that were not immediately used in the preparation of a bouquet, florists advise updating the cut so that they do not fade longer. Remember, the number of flowers in the bouquet must be odd.
- Bouquets can be made different sizes. For birthdays, large ones are preferable, and for weddings, on the contrary, not very voluminous ones. The forms of men's and women's bouquets should be different. For beautiful ladies, it is better to make rounded bouquets, and for men, elongated ones.
- Also, when forming bouquets, one should remember that there are incompatible flowers.
- This is not about compositional or color compatibility. Some plants release substances into the water that can lead to the rapid death of other flowers. It is believed that roses, carnations and lilies should be placed separately in a vase.

You can also make extraordinary flower arrangements using packaging. Wildflowers, porridge, white stars nested in a kraft paper cone decorated with textile or paper lace will appeal to romantic ladies. To do this, the finished bouquet is placed in a cone with a cut off top. Further, the paper is decorated in any way - with the help of lace, decorative tape.
The same effect can be achieved if you use a floristic mesh or coarse burlap. To do this, it is also necessary to cut several branches of yellow and pink carnations, branches of greenery. We place flowers of the same length in the center, greenery - at the edges. Preparing a decorative wrap. To do this, we begin to wrap the upper right edge of the mesh or fabric, heading to the left side. We have a cone. To prevent the wrapper from falling apart, it can be fixed with a stapler in an inconspicuous place.
Cut off the top of the cone. The resulting bouquet is stretched through the hole. We drag the bouquet in the middle with a decorative ribbon. Bouquet of carnations is ready!
There are many subtleties that help to make a beautiful bouquet.
If you want to make a symbolic bouquet that carries certain value. Then you should familiarize yourself with the symbolism of color. Red color means love, passion, pink - tenderness, white - purity of thoughts, fidelity. You shouldn't think that yellow means only separation and treason. The ban on its use in bouquets has long been a thing of the past.
Florists advise using different textures in bouquets. This effect can be achieved using opened flowers and twigs with buds. Also, this effect can be achieved using the texture of the petals - terry, smooth, needle-shaped. Remember that with the number of textures, as well as with shades, it is better not to overdo it. Enough 2-3 different varieties.
In order for the bouquet to look compositionally complete, use additional decorative elements (beads, corrugated or craft paper, ribbons).
Large inflorescences are always located in the center, and smaller flowers frame them. Try not to cover them with greenery - everything is good in moderation.
