(1) When you conceive a flower arrangement, you must conceive it before you start. Otherwise, there is no way to start with flowers. Intention is to define the purpose and establish the theme. We can start from the following aspects.

1. Determine whether the flower arrangement is used for festivals, general environmental decoration, gifts or personal use. Determine the style of flower arrangement according to the purpose, gorgeous or elegant.

2. Make clear the size, atmosphere, location, center or corner of the place where the work is placed, and choose the appropriate pattern according to the location.

3. The content or interest that the work wants to express is to express the natural beauty of plants, or to express feelings through flowers, or to be purely sculpted.

(2) Material selection According to the above ideas, choose the corresponding flower materials, flower devices and other accessories.

The selection of flower materials, although the ancients divided flowers into grades, products and lives, or into champions, guests and missions, only imposed people's will on flowers. The flowers are cleverly arranged. As long as the materials are matched and the colors are coordinated, the author can choose and match according to his own likes and needs. There is no fixed pattern.

(3) After selecting the modeled flower material, we began to use three basic skills to express the shape of the flower material. In this process, I "talk" with flowers with my heart, through which I can capture the characteristics and emotions of flowers and express them in the most beautiful angle. Sometimes it often goes beyond the original idea, just draw people's attention to the central theme you want to express, let the theme be spent in a conspicuous place, and other flowers take a back seat. In this way, the job will be easily accepted and won.

(4) Naming a work is also an integral part of the work. Especially the oriental flower arrangement, giving the title makes the work more elegant, and the appreciation value will also increase.

(5) Clean up the site and keep the environment clean. This is an indispensable part of flower arrangement, and it is also the virtue of flower arrangement. Japanese flower arrangement is paved with waste newspapers or plastic sheets first, and the flower material is trimmed on the pad paper. After the work is completed, the pad paper will be swept away together with the waste branches and leaves, leaving no water marks and residues on the site. This plug-in style is worth carrying forward and learning.
