Florists can create a variety of floral designs to suit various occasions and budgets. Floral designs can vary from a simple bud arrangement for a table to a dish garden for a living room. The floral design ultimately depends on the space, the occasion, the recipient, and the briefing you provide. Some basic floral designs include the following:
- Bud vases: This floral design can be created using a single stem or a small bunch of mixed flowers. A bud vase is suitable for any occasion, such as a get-well or thank-you gift, and can even be used as a table arrangement.
- Basket arrangements: If your hostess enjoys the outdoors and keeps a casually comfortable home, you can always take her a basket arrangement. The flowers in such an arrangement could either belong to a selected color palette, whether the pink and lavender family or the misty blue family, or belong to a mixed color palette, such as oranges, purples, and yellows, to add drama to the arrangement.
- Garden-style arrangements: This floral design will be popular if your hostess is a keen gardener. It consists of a mixed bunch of flowers, arranged as though they have just been picked from the garden, in a pottery or clear glass vase.
- Formal arrangements: This style of floral design is suitable for a classic or traditional space. If your hostess lives in a home decorated with classic French or English furniture and textiles, this would be just the right arrangement. In such an arrangement, flowers are either arranged geometrically or in a cluster. You can create this floral design using either a single variety of flowers, such as a bunch of white lilies or a dozen pink roses, or with a mixed bunch.
- Contemporary arrangements: This is a very artistic and structural floral design that would suit a very modern environment, such as an office, or a very trendy personality. You can use tropical flowers, such as orchids, to create colorful and stylish Ikebana-like arrangements, in flat vases.
- Dish gardens: This floral design can be used for any occasion, joyful or otherwise, as it emphasizes the beauty and serenity of nature. In this design, flowers are arranged as in a garden, in a basket, pottery, or glass container.
- Table arrangements: Floral designs of this type are used for buffets and formal entertainments. For instance, if you are organizing a candlelit dinner for two, a table arrangement of two candles surrounded with a bunch of flowers would be just right.
- Bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres: These floral designs are suitable for formal occasions, such as proms and weddings. Bouquets can be of any kind, from the nosegay and the hand-tied bouquet, to the cascade and contemporary bouquet. A corsage, which is a single flower or a bunch of flowers that matches or complements a lady’s dress, is popular with young ladies at proms and with their mothers and mothers-in-law at weddings. A boutonniere is a single flower, whether a gardenia, carnation, or stephanotis, worn by a gentleman in the buttonhole at a formal occasion, such as a prom or a wedding.
- Arrangements for funerals and condolences: Floral designs in this category cover a wide range, from easel sprays, floral baskets, and topiaries, to green and flowering plants, one-sided floral arrangements, and specialty designs based on wreaths, crosses, hearts, and teardrops.
