Yolie Klawitter introduced our demonstrator Rustie King. Rustie walked us through how to create a beautiful flower arrangement.
The first step is to gather your supplies. A nice walk around a craft store to see what the options are is a great place to start.
Find a base.
It can be a vase or a Mason jar or anything you like.
Usually the rule of thumb is that the flowers should be 1 1/2 or 2 times the height of the vase.
Always use odd numbers
Mix textures: spiky, soft, etc.
Babies breath is a great filler as well as greenery.
Use different heights of flowers starting with taller flowers in the center and shorter as you work around the vase.
Don't overcrowd the flowers.
If you use the same type of flower, you should consider different stages of the blooms.
Add styrofoam, cut to fit your container.
Hot glue it into place.
Bundles of flowers can be split with wire cutters.
Use a variety of trinkets to go in the arrangement to add sparkle and interest.
Start with the tallest item and add to the center.
The focal flower should be the biggest, brightest, or the most dramatic in the front and around the container. Flowers facing outward on an angle.
Add fillers by what looks good to you.
Always add a touch of white. It helps to make the colors pop.
Continue adding flowers on different levels or heights around the container to make it look balanced all the way around.
Think outside the box when choosing items for the arrangement. Add a variety of sizes, shapes and colors.
Separate, bend, adjust the items used to fill any dead spaces and make it uniform.
Texture means everything.
Contrasting colors look fabulous in a flower arrangement.
Try drooping some of the flowers and fillers down towards container.
Adjust as you see necessary.
Think-
thrillers as the tall ones
fillers are the middle ones
and spillers go over the side.
Rustie finished the display off with a cute ribbon tied in a knot with the points cut inward.
The 3:5-8 rule:
A good guideline for beginners is 3 types of focal flowers, 5 stems of greenery, and 8 stems of filler flowers.
Thank you, Rustie for showing us how to create a beautiful flower arrangement!
