13. Requisites
LLC "Trading network" Bouquet of the capital ",
PSRN 1171690026090
420039, Kazan, Dekabristov st., 186, office №1000
The florist, when compiling the work, must pay attention to the color scheme and contrast in order to achieve the following:
- rich tension,
- soft, finely coordinated accent,
- the expressive impact of the work, for example, a joyful occasion or a sad one, etc.
Depending on the position in the spectral circle, primary and mixed colors are distinguished. The choice of color, its light intensity affects the emotional world of a person, enriching or impoverishing him.
Itten singled out primary colors or colors 1st order - red, blue, yellow.
These colors cannot be obtained by mixing other colors.
Mixing colors together we get colors 2nd order (orange, green and purple).
When you combine one color of the main and one color of the first order, we get colors 3rd order (yellow-orange, blue-violet, yellow-green, etc.).)
Emotionally, the colors differ in terms of excitement and rest.
active colors(red and yellow) attract more attention and stay in memory longer than passive(blue and green).
TO warm colors include colors that have red or yellow hues. An environment that uses only cold shades, looks featureless, causes a feeling of cold and emptiness. Warm tones bring objects closer, cold tones move them away. But you should not abuse warm colors.
Strong brightness excites, inspires a person, weakened - soothes. A clear, bright and harmonious color composition evokes feelings of joy and fun.
By changing the light tone of the same color, you can change the perception of space and objects, increasing or decreasing them. Light colors expand the space, the works look large. With dark colors there is less work. This property is often used to deliberately illusory correction of the overall impression.
Contrasts are used in the design of shops, shop windows, restaurants, interiors, but at the same time, colors should be harmonious. Lightness, warmth and color saturation are taken into account.
Allocate:
- additional
- qualitative
- warm/cold colors
- strong
- quantitative
Contrasts and harmony of colors:
strong contrast
form among themselves the colors of the first order (red, yellow and blue). Used in children's bouquets or at exhibitions to achieve maximum effect. With prolonged and intense action, they tire the eyes, so it is not recommended to use on a large scale and in large quantities.
Additional contrast
- colors lying opposite each other (yellow and purple). It must be used in proportions (red and green 1:1, yellow and purple - ¼: ¾, blue and orange - 2/3: 1/3).
Strong and extra contrast look better as accents in small spaces.
Harmonious 3-color combination colors can be represented by colors that are determined by inscribing a triangle in the color wheel (equilateral - yellow, red and blue; isosceles - yellow, red-violet and blue-violet).
Harmonious 4-color combination
- when inscribing a square (yellow-green, orange, red-violet, blue) or a rectangle (yellow-green, yellow-orange, red-violet and blue-violet) in the color wheel.
5-color combination obtained by adding to the 3-color combination of black and white.
6-color combination
- when inscribing a 6-gon (yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green).
Harmony of related colors - a combination of colors that lie between two primary colors on the color wheel, one primary color (yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red-orange) can also participate.
Contrast is the difference.
Colors differ in their properties. At the slightest difference between them, slight deviations appear and there is a tension in perception. Large differences are very intense, and in this case we are talking about polar contrast or opposition. The lightness of yellow, for example, looks very prominent next to dull black. And if yellow stands next to light green, its lordship will hardly be noticeable, only a change in color will catch the eye.
For centuries, arranging bouquets has remained a popular art, and many people consider the ability to create harmonious flower arrangements an invaluable skill. Although each country has its own peculiarities of arranging bouquets, many cultures value floral symbolism, in which each flower or element of the composition has its own meaning. But even if you don't have a deep knowledge of floristry, you can still learn how to create beautiful flower arrangements if you follow a few simple tips. Just read on and you'll be fine.
Steps
Part 1
Planning the flower arrangement- Add additional colors to your composition to add variety and liveliness to it. Try mixing red and orange flowers with bright green stems for freshness. You can also mix pink and purple flowers with white tumbleweed flowers for a softer effect.
- Try mixing several varieties of flowers of the same color or different shades of the same color. Add some depth by lining the outer edge with branches of green leaves.
- You can also try to create a composition of one variety of flowers in different color combinations, for example, take orange, white and yellow gerbera daisies or pink and purple tulips.
-
Add some texture. Floral arrangements don't have to be all flowers. You can add some texture like green or dry branches or other seasonal elements.
- Try adding tall grass, berry stalks, willow, corn stalks, sorrel, or iris leaves.
- For a seasonal composition, add pine cones, pumpkin, holly shoots, berry tassels, or other fruit and vegetable plants.
-
Choose a place for the finished composition. Another important aspect is the purpose of the bouquet and its location. Consider the color scheme and the general mood of the room in which you are going to put the flower arrangement, and choose the most appropriate design. You should also take into account the amount of available space.
Part 2
Preparation of colors and materials-
Prepare the necessary materials. Before proceeding directly to the composition of the bouquet, it is very important to have the necessary materials at hand - this will greatly simplify the process. Depending on the type of flower arrangement, you will need the following:
- A clean container for flowers - this can be a vase, bowl or basket (or any other container) depending on the number and size of flowers.
- Floristic foam or sponge, for fixing flowers in wide-mouthed vessels.
- Braid for fastening flowers together, especially when using tall narrow vases.
- A sharp knife or pruner for trimming flower stems.
- A little fixing fluid (usually sold with fresh flowers).
- Clean and spacious work surface covered with newspaper.
- Set of flowers and green branches.
-
Trim the stems of the flowers and strip off the leaves. Before composing a flower arrangement, it is important to trim the trunks, then the flowers will absorb moisture better and stay fresh longer. Cut the trunks diagonally 2.5 cm from the base with a sharp knife or garden shears. It is not recommended to use kitchen scissors as this can damage the stems of the flowers and prevent them from getting enough moisture.
-
Prepare a vessel. The next step is to prepare a vase, bowl, box or any other container for a flower arrangement. The vessel must be neat and clean, free of sediment or dirt.
- If you are using a floral sponge (which is great for fixing flowers and saturating them with moisture), you should pre-soak it in the fixative for 15 minutes, and then trim the edges with a sharp knife to the shape of the container for the flower arrangement. Place the wet, cut-off sponge in the jar and tie it with floral tape.
- If you are using florist foam or cellophane mesh (which are great for heavy flowers and wood-based flowers), place him/her in a container and secure with tape or flower glue.
- You can also weave the woody bases of the green stems at the bottom of the vessel. This will serve as a natural grid for fixing the colors.
-
Pour water. At this stage, you need to pour water into the vessel if you are using flower mesh or foam or none of these. If you are using a floral sponge, you do not need to add water.
Part 3
CompositionStart with large dominant colors. When composing a composition, you should start with the largest and brightest flowers.
- Instead of using different types of flowers at the same time, it is best to work with one variety and then move on to another. In this case, you can use different combinations of colors in shape and color to get a more uniform and balanced composition.
- Work in a circle, arranging flowers along the outer edge of the vessel. Using a damp sponge will make this process easier. If you don't have a sponge, make holes with a sharp object so that you can insert flower stems into them - but try not to make holes wider than the diameter of the stems, otherwise the flowers will wobble.
- Rotate your flower arrangement as you work to make it look even from all sides, which is where the turntable snack tray comes in handy!
-
Arrange the flowers in circles in turn. When you're done with the first circle of colors, move on to the next one using different color variations.
- The second circle of flowers should be inside the first. Try to create a dome effect by placing flowers with longer stems in the very middle. The finished composition will resemble a meadow of flowers on a hill.
- Continue to arrange different types of flowers in turn, starting from their size and the expected number of flowers in the composition.
-
Use an odd number of colors for each circle. One of the basic rules when composing a bouquet is to use an odd number of flowers of each type.
- For example, you can arrange 7 roses in the outer circle, 5 white roses in the inner circle, and 3 tumbleweeds in between.
- This method helps to achieve greater organicity and integrity of the composition.
-
Pay attention to the height and width. The height and width of your composition is another factor to consider when creating a composition.
- As a rule, when it comes to the height of the composition, then it should be one time or half higher than a vase or any other container.
- There are no hard and fast rules about the width of the composition, but it must match the height.
- Rotate the composition as you work, then the height and width will be the same on both sides.
-
Choose flowers according to the season. By choosing flowers according to the season, you will save money, and your arrangement will be appropriate for the time of year. This is especially important if you are arranging a bouquet for a special occasion such as a wedding, anniversary or birthday party.
Choose a vessel. The choice of a vessel for composing a bouquet depends on the desired style of composition. Almost any vessel can be used to compose a bouquet, as long as it is compatible with the height, weight and appearance of the flowers used.
Use complementary colors. The choice of color is very important when composing flower arrangements, but when it comes to color combinations, there are no strictly defined rules here. It all depends on the desired style and mood of your composition. Here are a few points to consider:
The language of flowers, which expresses ideas, feelings, moods - uh then, one might say, a whole science that reveals the meaning, symbolism of various flowers and plants. Personally, I was very interested in this topic, and, as you can see, I immediately share it.
The language of flowers has become popular again in our time, however, of course, it does not find such wide application as in past times, when young people were completely fond of it. Everyone knew how to compose and decipher the message that this or that bouquet of flowers carried.
The language of flowers originated in the East and was widely used both in the presentation of bouquets and in lyrical works. The language of flowers came to Europe in the 18th century and became very widespread in secular society - it was used at balls, in games and in letters.
During the Victorian era, the language of flowers helped a lot in cases where feelings could not be spoken openly, but required a secret expression. The flower language, like any other, has changed over time and adapted to the conditions in which it was used - after all, each locality has its own favorite flowers.
Poet Dmitry Oznobishin devoted a special study to flowers. In 1830, he translated from Persian and published the book "Selam, or the language of flowers" and placed more than 400 names of plants, where each of them corresponded to a saying or phrase in the language of flowers. He believed that a secret language appeared in those parts where a woman was forced to lead a secluded life due to class prejudices, but reserved the right to express her true feelings.
Even some flower dictionaries have come down to us, they tell in detail about the meaning of so many plants. Below I will give an example of a number of flowers and their meanings, but this is a small part of what flower dictionaries actually contain.
Tulip- everyone knows that he is the emblem of Holland, which is famous for its tulip plantations. The yellow tulip in the language of flowers means " Your smile is like sunlight", red - " Trust me", motley - " Perfect eyes". But in general - this flower is a symbol of pure love.
Chrysanthemum- yellow means friendly love, white - truth, red - good luck and best wishes.
Lilac- if white, it will mean first love, purple - " My heart Belongs to you".
Orchid- a luxurious flower and means beauty, love. And it is also considered a Chinese symbol of childhood.
Narcissus- contrary to the legend in the language of flowers, daffodil means attention, chivalry. The yellow flower said " You are the only one", "When I'm with you the sun always shines".
Snowdrop- giving the first spring flower, say "You are not like everyone else", and it also means tenderness and hope.
Rose- oh, how many have already been donated! She represents love!
There is a generally accepted symbolism of flowers. Knowing the meaning of colors and colors will help us make the right choice.
A bouquet is not only beautifully arranged flowers, but also a way to express a person's feelings or thoughts. The language of flowers is no less expressive than any other. Color, shape, quantity, design of flowers can all carry a huge semantic load. Often this is associated with legends and myths about a particular flower.
But there are many prejudices associated with the meaning of colors. For example, yellow is considered the color of separation, although in fact yellow is the color of the sun, the color of warmth and intelligence. According to the language of flowers, yellow roses have nothing to do with separation, on the contrary, it expresses the most positive emotions.
In order not to make a mistake with the color, choose the universal color of the flowers - white. It goes well with other shades and is suitable for all occasions. White flowers are good everywhere. Bouquets of white flowers are the most neutral, bring light, fun, symbolize purity, innocence. For example, fragile white tulips.
Red is an active color, considered the color of love and passion, love of life, the color of freedom. Red roses are the most favorite flowers of all lovers. This color in itself looks spectacular, large compositions should be avoided. The red color in the bouquet goes well with white, yellow. A single color is the color of modesty and youth, symbolizes the tender feelings of the giver, and can even express a declaration of love.
Blue flowers are so attractive! Even in a small vessel or planter, flowers of the same tone look very impressive. Blue color is cold and quiet, strict and full of energy. It symbolizes energy and infinity, trust and fidelity. This color of freshness, coolness and romance.
Blue color creates the illusion of space. Forget-me-nots, delphinium - the king of blue flowers, Muscari blue. A bouquet of blue irises given to a beloved woman will remind her that she has someone to rely on. Intense blue color is combined with bright yellow or dazzling white.
Violet color symbolizes greatness, dignity, luxury. Blue - purity, fidelity. A bouquet of bluebells or forget-me-nots is good to present to a pure, young, innocent creature.
Green - peace, tranquility. Compositions with a lot of greenery will help create a pleasant, calm atmosphere at home or in the office. Light green - purity, fun. Bouquets using light greens are especially good in spring. Dark green - hope, peace, peace, fertility.
A bouquet intended for a child on his birthday must necessarily be bright and colorful, in joyful tones. Give him one flower or a small mixed bouquet of small and delicate flowers. It is not customary to give a young girl bright red flowers. You can give her lilies of the valley, tulips ..., yes, everything that she loves. You can give orchids to your beloved woman, but it is not recommended to give her carnations.
Give your mother roses or roses collected from different flowers and elegantly decorated. For older women, avoid giving dark and fast-fading flowers. You can give a compact bouquet of light flowers, but not white, as white is the color of the bride. It is customary for elderly people to give flowers with long peduncles - gladiolus.
Some people think that flowers are not given to men. Not quite right. It is customary for men to give large flowers on a long stem - roses, gladioli, chrysanthemums. And if a man has an anniversary, opening day or premiere, then there is a reason to give him elegant, lush bouquets, you can also in baskets.
But nevertheless, tulips, roses, carnations, gerberas can be safely given in any situation. Lilac, bird cherry, wild flowers are not suitable for an official setting, although an office in the office, if its owner is a lady, lilac will not only decorate, but give it a slightly homely atmosphere. If indoor plants are loved in the house, you can safely carry a rare cactus.
Flowers must match the occasion. For anniversaries, bouquets of chrysanthemums, lilies, gladiolus, roses or carnations are traditionally presented. Luxurious large bouquets are presented in exceptional cases, at special celebrations.
The number of flowers in a bouquet has a certain meaning: it is customary to give an odd number of flowers: one, three, five, seven ... One flower is a sign of attention; three flowers - a sign of respect; five - confessions; seven - love ... If there are more than twelve flowers, then the count goes to half a dozen, that is, the number of flowers in the bouquet should be divided by six.
The language of flowers can be realized both through the use of multi-colored objects, coloring objects, and by creating flower arrangements from living plants - bouquets, wreaths, etc.
In parallel with the European art of composing flower arrangements, it also developed in the East.
Japanese ikebana is one of the most famous oriental trends.

It is interesting that at first only men were engaged in drawing up flower arrangements in Japan.
These bouquets were made for Buddhist temples and used in religious ceremonies.
In ikebana, plants and flowers have always been chosen with meaning.
Each element is a symbol and carries its own semantic load.
I wanted to get to know this type of floristry better.
Goal: Learn how to make compositions in a decorative style, master the techniques of working with flowers, master floral techniques, learn to analyze your work.
Decorative style is the creation of a new, we use a large number materialand its diversityin color, shape and texture. The shape and color of the work is important!
There are decorative style arrangements:
A) Closed or dense flower arrangement
A closed arrangement is set up from a large number of flowers and greenery, which is why it is sometimes called "abundant, lush." The flowers are closely adjacent to each other, forming a certain geometric shape. The vase should fit this shape and be in harmony with a large number of flowers. The composition is visible from all sides, so it can be installed anywhere.
Consists of steps or "groups" of leaves or intermediate spaces between them ("air steps"). All elements of the composition come from one central point. Vases are rounded, convex, wide vessels. The decorativeness of this arrangement is given by the ray-like, solemn, “bubbling”, lush and presentable construction of the composition.
Accent is created with the help of color and the concentration of material in the center.
Form plants with a very short stem, located next to each other. Essentially, they create a floral plane that has a different character:
- Stretched out like a ribbon, the so-called. frieze
- Heart-shaped, rings, etc.
- Consisting of spectacular spots contrasting in structure - a structural composition (smooth, rough, velvety surface ... with height differences)
- Resembling a flat bouquet, animated by the movement of leaves and branches
A characteristic appearance is created by vertical, parallel plants or parts of them installed with each other. They can stand alone, in loose groups, or tightly pressed. Vessels - flat and long, wide. As an assortment, flowers and parts of plants that grow vertically and straight in nature are used.
Next, we step by step, based on the material for the lesson,
1st) choose the form of the composition:
- spherical, round, oval
- triangular (isosceles, equilateral, rectangular)
- cone-shaped (based on a square or circle)
- rectangular and square, rhombus
- L-shape
- free
- Hogarth line, S-shape
- shape symbols, e.g. egg, cross, wreath, heart....
- crescent
2nd) arrangement type:
A) Closed or dense flower arrangementB) Rhythmically segmented or stepped arrangement
C) Flat or lying arrangement
D) Parallel arrangement
3rd) method of setting the material:
- parallel
- radially
- free
* Groups (smoothly transitioning into each other or sharply defined, structural)
* Lines (parallel, intersecting, concentric circles)
* Chaotic (with or without seal)
Composition sequence:
- Choose dishes for the composition without a drainage hole or seal the hole.
- Cut the floral sponge to the size of the dish. For a decorative style, an oasis should be 2 cm above the edge of the dish.
- Wet the oasis in the water, just put it on the water with the inscription up, when it sinks to the bottom, get it.
- Secure the oasis with a frog, sticky tape or wire so that it does not wobble. If you have tall dishes and the oasis is tightly held in it, you need to fix it with pieces of the oasis.
- We close the oasis with leaves so that it is almost invisible.
- Immediately choose the form, calculate the proportions of the composition (1:2:3:5:8...), depending on the height or width of the dishes, the grouping of the material.
- Set up the line material. It can be long stems of plants, greenery, which forms the height and steps of your future composition.
- We set the focus material, for example, large rose flowers, chrysanthemums closer to the base of the dish, because. high-standing large flowers can be visually unbalanced in the composition.
- We add filler material, these are small flowers that will give completeness and clarity to your composition. Remove excess if necessary. Add decor.
- Drain excess water if needed.
- The plant is placed in an oasis 2 cm deep, if you need to put it differently, put it next to it, or deeper into the same hole.
- Technical details should not be visible, for example, wires and test tubes (taped), glue from a gun; do not use broken flowers, it is better to put them in a test tube.
- The branches are additionally fixed: the oasis is wrapped with a mesh, then the composition is made up, like the others.
Sample student work in decorative style (L-shape):1. Necessary plant material:
- roses or carnations 5,
- chrysanthemum bush 1-2,
- fern 1-2 leaves, or large ruskus,
- begrass a little.
- oasis, 1/3 or 1/2,
- utensils for composition,
- tools
Job analysis: the oasis is closed completely; the shape is almost sustained, a massive light green center of chrysanthemum, it should have been broken, i.e. put one branch vertically (3-4 pieces) and longer horizontally; gypsum in the vertical does not give an exact direction of movement, it is loose, some branches should be cut off and inserted into the center of the work or placed more tightly; light bergrass does not interfere with perception, you can leave it.
