Mass Flowers

Full, streaming and symmetrical, a liberal mixture of blossoms orchestrated in an improved china vase depicts the common mass outline so reminiscent of Victorian richness and tastefulness. Mass outlines are normally triangular, oval, round or fan shaped.



Mass Flowers-Examples

Carnations

Roses

Chrysanthemums



Form Flowers

Unique in shape or colorForm flowers are the colorful, large and

often unusually shaped blooms floral designers use to center their pieces.

They are the first to draw a viewer's eye into an arrangement.

Protea

Strelitzia



Filler Flowers

This flower is used for filling up the empty space in arrangements.

As the fundamental capacity is filling the remaining space in arrangements, they are regularly put after mass line blooms and mass blossoms are put.

Theories and Principles of Design



Balance

The concept of visual equilibrium, and related to our physical sense of balance. It is a reconciliation of opposing forces in a composition that results in visual stability.



Proportion

Keeps relative size, color and texture of the flowers to create a pleasing arrangement.

Floral designs should be at least 1 ½ to 2 times the height or width of the container.



Rhythm

Rhythm can be described as timed movement through space; an easy, connected path along which the eye follows a regular arrangement of motifs. The presence of rhythm creates predictability and order in the composition.



Emphasis

Emphasis is also referred to as point of focus, or interruption. It marks the locations in a composition which most strongly draw the viewers’ attention. Usually there is a primary or main point of emphasis, with perhaps secondary emphasis in other parts of the composition.



Unity

Unity is the underlying principle that summarizes all of the principles and elements of design. It refers to the coherence of the whole, the sense that all of the parts are working together to achieve common result: a harmony of all the parts.
