The thicker part is placed in the middle, and the thinner part is placed on the outer part so that it makes a comfortable look of the work.

You can add water on the back of the flower arrangement to half the height of the cup.

The Principles of Flower Arrangement Design

Flower arrangement is like painting. Before you start, you need to have a blueprint of the overall composition, design, and color, and follow these principles.

If it is for daily use, the flower arrangement design can be more novel; if it is to set off the festive days, the flower arrangement can be more intense in color.

2. Color coordination: The color of the flower arrangement is based on the color of the main flower, and the other cut flowers are coordinated with each other, but they should match the color of the main flower, and then use the secondary colors are used to embellish. The eastern style is tranquil and elegant, using subtle colors and blank-leaving compositions to create an exquisite vibe; while the European style uses warm colors and the overall style is bright and heavy.

3. The balance of composition: The balance of the composition is the most difficult, and it plays a vital role in the overall style. The common compositions are horizontal, vertical, oval, L-shaped, etc. Eastern style pays attention to aesthetics of the atmosphere and the stretch of leaves and branches, so the key is to keep the balance of the reconstructed picture; while the western style also pays attention to the sense of balance, but in general, it is fine to pay attention to the left and right symmetry.

4. Sparse and dense: the balance of the flower arrangement is very important. Generally speaking, the center of the flower arrangement should be dense, and the farther away should be sparse.

5. Blank-leaving: Appropriate blank-leaving for a flower arrangement is very important. It can enlighten the work with a fresh vibe, or present the style of Zen. It is especially important for the Eastern style of flower arrangement. For flowers with short stalks, glass containers can be used; for flowers with long stalks, wooden or ceramic containers can be used. Then use the net bag to fix the cut flowers, so that to achieve the result.

6. The coordination of point, line, and surface: To make the flower arrangement appear structured, it should match points, lines, surfaces, etc., so that the upper, lower, left, right, front and back levels are clear and unified, and avoid the cut flowers be on the line of the horizon.
