In the photos of celebrities, there will always be food, beautiful scenery, luxurious lifestyle and eternal peace.
However, most "celebrities" who are obsessed with online life can only stay on the basis of "dazzling enough" for their love of flowers. For example, in order to show their special love, many people often have an enduring theme of roses, which makes people feel a little "not enough flavor, enough quantity to make up".
There are also some girls taking pictures in large-scale floral works. However, the affectation and uneven quality of flowers will still make people who really love flowers feel "offended"
And these "celebrities" who print pictures in batches in Weibo and Xiaohong's books actually show the "celebrity circle" ecology in their eyes from another angle. It is true that for most educated girls who have established their own aesthetic taste and attitude towards life, floral art has always been a way of relaxing that they are willing to invest time and energy in their daily lives. But in order to enjoy this space and experience, instead of pursuing showing off and establishing personal design, this may also be the mood difference between a floral lover and these "pseudo-celebrities".
But an elegant and beautiful life is certainly desirable. In the eyes of many people, life surrounded by flowers every day is not a luxury. After all, many flowers have a short flowering period. If you want flowers everywhere in your home and scenery forever, it seems that you really need excellent economic conditions as the foundation. Especially in this late autumn world, it is still golden outside, but the cold in winter has begun to approach. At this time, are beautiful floral works as easy to disappear as autumn? However, Brian, a Dutch DFA certified florist specially invited by Toupai College, provides a special solution to teach you how to make a floral art, which can keep our seemingly short autumn for a long time without spending too much money.
What do you know about autumn flowers?
In the live broadcast, Brian first introduced us to some main flowers used in this floral art, which are also representatives of the "autumn color system". To express the colors of autumn, orange, red and yellow are essential. Sunflowers and pyracantha fortuneana are excellent flowers. In this work, Brian chose fireworks chrysanthemums and some fragrant pines dyed orange to realize the "autumn color system". "Flower arrangement is mainly about choosing flower materials and color systems. Basically, how to insert them will not be ugly."
In the first step of flower arrangement, Brian used mango leaves as an ornament, which is only available in autumn, and this red coffee color is also part of the late autumn and late evening colors. The teacher made the frame by diagonal flower arrangement. When arranging flowers, the most basic structure should be careful not to insert both sides equally flat and equally high. "If one side is high and the other side is relatively low, it shows the feeling of asymmetry." . After drawing the frame through the leaf material, fill it with the main flowers.
After the leaves were placed outside the frame, Brian didn't rush to fill the main flowers in it, but added some autumn "fruits" first, because autumn itself is the season when fruits mature, and the fruit pyracantha used this time also contains colors that are only available in autumn. In addition, golden fruits such as little persimmon and Ligustrum lucidum can be used to create a fruitful feeling through some natural drooping feelings.
After the leaves are laid and the fruit fills the gap, the flowers can enter the field. The autumn flowers chosen by the teacher are sunflower, firework chrysanthemum and gerbera jamesonii, but * * * creates a warm orange atmosphere. After that, a man named Qiuhua was used to fill it. Although many people in China don't like chrysanthemums, they think chrysanthemums symbolize mourning. But from another perspective, chrysanthemum is the four gentlemen of flowers and trees. In fact, its meaning is quite good, especially suitable for our autumn feeling.
For those who like special flowers, you can also choose Helan at this time. There are not only four colors of orange, red, orange and yellow, but also beautiful patterns. People usually call it a "bird of paradise". Because of its beautiful meaning and beautiful shape, it is often used for arranging flowers in business or hotels. Brian used two "birds of paradise" in this flower arrangement, but at this time he once again stressed that the flower arrangement should not be too symmetrical or too peaceful, otherwise it would look particularly flat when arranging flowers. Then, use large pieces of flowers to "press the bottom" of the whole floral art, and in a darker position, you can also "brighten" it with bright colors such as sunflowers.
In the finishing stage of the whole floral art, the main thing to do is to cover the bottom of the whole bunch of flowers with flower mud and use some large warm gerbera as gap fillers. Pay attention to the whole bunch of flowers and fill some relatively sparse parts. However, in the final filling stage, Brian also reminded everyone to remember that the flower arrangement is not as full as possible. Brian recalled that when he was studying floral art, his teacher reminded him to "leave open space for flowers" because flowers are living things after all, and they will still change and grow when they are displayed.
As a group of large-scale flower arrangements, Brian's works are about 60 cm high this time, which is more suitable for the entrance, especially when guests come to visit. This bouquet of flowers can show a pleasing effect at the moment it enters the door.
"lasting" autumn colors
The ancient poem "Autumn is sad and lonely" is on the one hand because everything begins to decline after autumn, on the other hand, autumn time is precious, and the frozen winter will come soon. Brian said, however, one of the great advantages of autumn flowers and floral art is that although these varieties are flowers, many of them are very fresh. Flowers and fruits can actually be dried. Even after a month, they may not be so full, and the fruit will be a little dry, but the floral art can still maintain its original color and overall shape.
If you want to keep your floral art for a long time, Brian specially taught a plan to slowly stop hydrating the floral art and keep its roots dry. Floriculture can put itself into dried flowers after consuming the water in flower mud, but in spring and summer, most flowers can't be put into dried flowers like this, and most flowers will wither directly. This also makes it very cost-effective to do floral art in autumn. If you choose the right flower material, a bunch of flowers can accompany you through the whole winter.
Of course, when doing this, we should also pay attention to some details. Brian will cut off the extra leaves, then cut off the roots and put them in a flowerpot. At first, you only need to change the water once every two or three days (once a day in summer), which is also a very important step in daily maintenance. Because leaves are put in flowerpots with water, they will rot for a long time, and this rot will also affect the flowering period of flowers. In addition, the flowers below the bottle mouth are redundant and must be trimmed.
Charm and efforts of florist
Although I have not received special professional training, I can finish this activity of cultivating sentiment by choosing my favorite color and trying to arrange flowers. At the scene, Brian also demonstrated the method of making warm-hearted floral art with a single flower material. But as we all know, if you really want to create excellent professional floral art, systematic training is obviously essential, and Brian has passed DFA certification, won the recognition of the most professional flower country, the Netherlands, and can even engage in formal work in the European Union. If you want to try to take the DFA exam, you can consider completing the exam in China, Hongkong or Taiwan Province province.
But at the same time, Brian also said that although flower shop owners look beautiful and deal with flowers every day, they actually look as glamorous as many jobs. In fact, there is still a lot of work to be done behind it, and the hard work is invisible. "But because I am in a good mood with flowers, I feel quite happy", which is also the greatest pleasure of the florist's work.
