Flower Arrangement Basics for Creating Balanced Compositions

You'll learn how to select flowers based on colour harmony, stem strength, and seasonal availability.

This session covers proportion techniques that prevent arrangements from looking overcrowded or sparse. We demonstrate how to position focal flowers, fill gaps with greenery, and secure stems so they hold their intended shape throughout the day. Each technique is shown step-by-step using real materials, not abstract theory.

Participants receive a reference guide listing common flower types, their vase life expectations, and which tools work best for different stem thicknesses. The instructor walks through three distinct arrangement styles—compact dome, asymmetric cascade, and linear vertical—explaining when each suits a particular space or occasion.
