Flower Arrangements
A flower arrangement is a vague term to describe the placement of flowers in a container. Flowers can be arranged in endless ways, using floral tape, pots, vases, bouquets and even frames.
Florists can create custom arrangements for any occasions, using fresh, dried or artifical flowers, or use a range of plants suited to the occasion of your choice.

Guide to Arrangements Gifts & Flowers
1.1 What are the some popular types of flower arrangements?
There are millions of flower species on the planet and infinite ways to arrange them in different shapes, sizes and containers.
- Wedding flower arrangements: Flowers make up an essential component of weddings, particularly the reception and table where the bride and groom sit. The wedding bouquet is also the most important floral arrangement in the whole marriage ceremony.
- Fresh flower arrangements: These typically come in the form of bouquets, vases, boxes, baskets, hampers and pots. Flowers often come in a simple arrangement from an online florist which you may elaborate on and style yourself when you receive them.
- Dried flower arrangements: Some flowers, such as roses, keep an eery beauty to them as they wither and dry out. The advantage of using dried flowers for arrangements is that although they become fragile and crisp, they will not wither and age any further than they already have, leaving a permanent flower piece in your home. See the Homeschooling guide to drying flowers for more information.
- Artificial flower arrangements: Artificial flowers, such as clay or silk are more expensive off the bat but will obviously remain pristine for eternity. You can style and decorate with fake flowers in an elaborate fashion since they will not fall out of place and shape as a fresh flower would wither.
1.2 Read this before arranging flowers into a centerpiece
The key aspects to remember when creating a flower arrangement that will be used as a decoration are symmetry, complimenting , contrasting and colour coordination.
- Symmetry: Unless you’re going for an abstract feel to your home or function, aligning your arrangements straight and centered is ideal.
- Complimenting: If you’re going to a jungle themed party and see arrangements of roses, tulips and other common household flowers, it’s going to look out of place. Shoot for something which fits the function, in this case vines, fronds and exotic flora.
- Contrasting: A contrast draws attention to the item. For instance, the white moon in the sky contrasts the black night. A floral centerpiece will want attention drawn to it, especially for occasions like weddings. Therefore, choose interesting flowers and materials whic are eye catching yet don’t look awkward and out of place.
- Colour Coordination: Some combinations of colours are visually appealing, some simply aren’t. See the Fashion Ribbon’s chart for colour coordination for ideas on colour matching your flower arrangements.
