Floarr, also known as the art of flower arrangement, is to insert flowers in containers such as bottles, plates and pots, rather than planting them in these containers.

Choose the flowers of the season. Choosing flowers in season can save you some money and make your flower arrangement more timely, especially in really special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries and special birthday parties.
Spring: In spring, the most popular flowers include daffodil, peony, tulip, sweet pea, daffodil, hyacinthus orientalis, anemone, lilac, delphinium and Porroni.

Perennial: Perennial flowers include: orchids, gardenias, roses, lilies of the valley, gypsophila paniculata, royal flowers, orchids, heather, gladiolus, eucalyptus and romantic seas.
Select a container. The container you choose depends on what shape you want your flower arrangement to be. Almost any type of container can be used for flower arrangement, as long as its height, weight and appearance are suitable.
To some extent, slender and trumpet-shaped vases are most suitable for long flowers, such as lily and iris, while shorter vases are more suitable for flowers with big heads and short stems, such as roses and chrysanthemums.
An over-standard vase can give full play to your imagination when you use it as a container for arranging flowers. Egg cups, champagne bottles, wide-brimmed bowls, old boots, umbrella stands, tea cups or candlesticks can be used as containers.
Use complementary colors. When arranging flowers, color is very important, but there is no hard and fast rule about what color is best, which mainly depends on your habits and personal preferences. But there are still some things to pay attention to:
Add complementary colors to your flower arrangement to make it colorful. Try to match those small fresh greens with red and orange. Or try mixing pink and purple with white all over the sky.
Try matching some other colors in the same suit, or matching some of the same colors in the shadow. Or match some dark colors around the green leaves of the bottle mouth.
Or, you can try matching flowers of various colors in the vase, such as orange, white, yellow gerbera or purple tulips.
Add some textures. Bouquets should not be all flowers. You can add some green plants to the flower arrangement to make some texture, such as some woody plants or other seasonal plants.
Try to add some long grass to the flower arrangement, such as berry stems, faded willows, corn stems, acid docks or iris leaves.
As for more seasonal flower arrangement, you can try to add some fruits or vegetables such as pine cones, pumpkins, winter melon and bamboo shoots.
Consider the location of the flower arrangement. The last thing you need to consider is the purpose and position of flower arrangement. Consider the color scheme and atmosphere of the room. You also need to consider the available space.
For example, some brightly colored flowers can light a dark (lifeless) corridor or decorate a monotonous bathroom. In addition, some soft pink flowers can make the air circulate, and the sunny room is richer and more substantial.
In addition, the size of flowers should also be considered when arranging flowers. A pot of colorful little daisies may look cute on the coffee table, but it may spoil the fun on the kitchen table. Similarly, a tall vase with flower arrangement may be suitable in the corridor, but if it is placed on the dining table, it may affect people's conversation.
Prepare flowers and other materials
Collect the necessary materials. Before arranging flowers, it is very important to collect those easily available materials-this will make the arrangement process more efficient. What materials to prepare depends on the type of flower arrangement. You may need some or all of the following materials:
A clean flower container-according to the number and size of flowers, it can be made into vases, bowls or baskets (etc.).
Some flower foam or flower buttons (put flowers in an open container).
Some flower bands or rubber bands (to tie flowers together, especially when arranging flowers in tall or narrow bottles).
A sharp knife or flower scissors (pruning flower stems).
Some antiseptic liquid (usually used for flowers).
A clean and spacious place with newspapers.
Prune the stems and leaves of flowers. It is necessary to trim the stems and leaves of flowers before arranging flowers. This will make it easier for flowers to absorb water and keep fresh. Cut off the roots of flowers with a sharp knife or garden shears at a distance of 1 foot. It is not recommended to use kitchen scissors, because it may break the rhizome and make it unable to absorb water well.
If you want to leave during pruning (no matter how long it takes), remember to cut the roots for the second time directly before arranging flowers, and then insert them into the container.
Before arranging flowers, you need to cut off all the underwater leaves. This is very important because the leaves will rot and pollute the water in the container.
Here's a trick to keep flowers: soak the roots in boiling water at a depth of 1 ft immediately after cutting flowers. After the water cools (to a slight temperature), put them in cold water. Wrap the flowers in case they burn.
Prepare the container. The next step is to prepare vases, flower pots or other containers you plan to use for arranging flowers. Ensure that the container is clean and in good condition, free of residue and dirt.
If you use flower bubbles (this is a great invention, which can well control the shape of flower arrangement and make the roots absorb water), then soak them with preservatives (15 minutes). Then cut it into a predetermined shape with a sharp knife. Put the scraped wet foam into a container and fix it with printed tape.
If you use a transparent flower buckle grid (which is suitable for supporting flowers with heavy roots or wooden handles), put it in a container and protect it with tape or glue.
Or, you can put some green plants with wooden roots at the bottom of the container and interweave them. This produces an organic grid model that enables you to arrange flowers successfully.
Add water. If you use flower buttons, you can make them into a grid and let the flowers stand upright by themselves. At this time, you should add water to the container. If you use flowers, you don't need extra water.
Pour water into the container, and then add a package of preservatives. If you don't have preservatives, you can try adding a few drops of sodium chlorate bleach as a substitute-this can kill bacteria in water and help flowers stay fresh for a longer time.
If there are flowers in bud and you want them to bloom early, you can add some warm water instead of cold water. This is most effective for roses and buttercups.
Make flower arrangements
Insert the larger and main flowers first. When you start arranging flowers, insert the biggest and most important flowers first.
At the same stage, it is better to insert the same kind of flowers, not just this kind and then another different kind of flowers. In this way, you can arrange the varieties, shapes, colors and layers of flowers more evenly.
Surround the city with flowers and place them along the edge of the container. If you use flowers, the roots of flowers should be easy to insert. If this is not easy, you can sharpen the root, then pierce the foam and insert the flower-note: the hole should not be too big (the diameter should not be as wide as the root), otherwise the flower will be difficult to fix.
When arranging flowers, you must look at the overall situation and ensure that the flowers are in your own position-at this time, the turntable is a great tool.
Laminated flowers. Once you have finished the first circle of flower arrangement, you should start to insert all kinds of other flowers.
When inserting this circle of flowers, put it in the inner circle. Let the roots of this circle of flowers be slightly longer than the flowers outside, creating a hemispherical effect. When the flower arrangement is finished, the flowers look like they are in full bloom at the top of the mountain.
In this way, the arrangement of flower arrangement will continue to be layered, and the insertion of one variety will be arranged reasonably according to the size and quantity of flowers.
The number of flowers used on each floor should be odd. One of the main rules of flower arrangement is that the number of each flower should be odd.
For example, you can insert 7 red roses in the outer ring, 5 packets of roses in the inner ring, and then use 3 stars as an ornament.
This makes the flower arrangement look less monotonous and more organic and harmonious.
Pay attention to the height and width. When arranging flowers, the height and width of flowers are another factor to consider.
The general rule is: in terms of height, the height of flower arrangement should be 1.5 times that of vase (container).
The width is not clearly defined, but the width and height should be coordinated.
When arranging flowers, keep rotating the container to ensure that the height and width can be coordinated.
Add leaves, berries or other green leaves. After you insert all your favorite flowers, you can insert green leaves, berries or other decorations in them.
This is a very important link-it can not only enhance the texture of flower arrangement, improve the vividness of flower arrangement, but also help the independence between flowers and promote air circulation, so as to keep flowers fresh for a long time.
The use of filling materials helps to give people the impression that the flower arrangement looks substantial (it seems that the number is much more than the actual number). Therefore, you don't need to spend a lot of money to create a luxurious appearance.
Matters needing attention
Once the flower arrangement is finished, you should try to keep them away from direct sunlight, high temperature and fruits, because these will aggravate the wilting of flowers.
Remove pollen stamens from flowers.
