- 9. Floating arrangement It is arranged with flowers whose stems are cut short. The largest or the brightest flower floats in the center and the other around it. This creates an impression of natural flowers in pond.
- 10. Diminutive arrangement They are small arrangement usually within four inches in height arranged in small containers like egg shell, small bottles etc.
- 11. Steps in arranging flowers – Establishing the basic outline of the design – Securing the focal flowers – Filling in with fill flowers and foliage
- 13. Horizontal flower arrangement A very shallow container is used to make this type of flower arrangement. It has a single big flower as the focal point and drooping flower branches are added to each side. Rose is the main flower used as the focal point in this type of flower arrangement. Horizontal flower arrangements are very low and hence are suitable for center table decorations. Horizontal: Secure the line flowers extending out on either side of the containers so that flowers and container form a horizontal line. Secure focal flowers in the center. Fill in around the focal point.
- 14. Vertical arrangement It is a very tall flower arrangement. Very tall stems of flowers and leaves like tulips, roses and carnations are used for this type of flower arrangement. Short stem flowers are not suitable to make this arrangement. Vertical: Secure a line flower in the center of the container to establish the height of the design. Place focal flowers at the base so they hang over the top of the container slightly. Fill in with foliage and flowers, maintaining the vertical shape of the arrangement.
- 15. Crescent flower arrangement Depending on the size of the crescent, curved shaped flower stems have to be selected. Flowers with flexible stems like gladiola and carnations can be used. Crescent flower arrangements are suitable for coffee table decoration. Crescent: Secure line flowers which have been curved to form a crescent shape. Add focal flowers to the center, just above the base. Using smaller flowers and foliage fill in around the focal point and up the crescent slightly
- 16. This type of flower arrangement uses the tallest flower stems in the center while the smaller flowers are placed on the sides to maintain the triangular shape. Triangular flower arrangements are used mostly in wedding ceremonies. Triangular Arrangement
- 17. For a right-angle triangle shape, first place line flowers in the container to establish the height of the arrangement. Secure other line flowers on either the left or right side to delineate the outline. Secure focal flowers at the base of the triangle and fill in, maintaining the outline. Traingle: For an equilateral triangle shape, place one line flower upright in the center of the container to establish the height of the arrangement. Place two line flowers on each side of the center flower to form a triangle with sides of the same length. Place focal flowers in the center, allowing them to drop slightly over the top of the container. Fill in foliage and smaller flowers, keeping them inside the triangle’s boundaries.
- 18. Oval flower arrangement This type of flower arrangement has the brightest and tallest flowers in the center. The color and the size of the flowers are allowed to gradually reduce by degrees towards the sides. Oval flower arrangements look formal and hence it's used mostly in formal settings. Oval: Arrange flowers so that they are higher at the center than at the sides. Add more of the same flowers to fill in the oval outline, and all with foliage or tiny flowers.
- 19. Round Round and oval arrangements contain no line materials, and are often made with only lone kind of flower and one kind of fill. Arrange several flowers into ball shape in the center of the container (each flower should extend out the same distance from the container). Use more of the same flowers to fill in the ball shape. Fill in with smaller flowers of foliage.
- 20. Hogarth's curve or lazy "s” This is the most complex type of flower arrangement. The flowers are arranged to form a 'S' shape. It requires a lot of professional skill to form Hogarth or S-curve: Place curved line flowers in container to form an S-shape. Add focal flowers to the center, but arrange them so that they follow the curve slightly. Fill in with foliage and smaller flowers if desired.
