Flower Arrangements

Flowers add interest to a centerpiece, add color and scent to a room and brings smiles to the faces of the recipients of the flower arrangements. The recipient might be a date, spouse, an elderly relative or someone who is ill. Flower arrangements brighten up a room and the heart.

Flower arrangements can be either horizontal or vertical. Horizontal arrangements fit nicely on shelves or wide window ledges. Vertical flower arrangements draw the eye up. The purpose of arranging flowers is to achieve a balance of height, integration and color to create something that is pleasing to the eye.

Greenery makes a nice foundation for a horizontal arrangement. Use a shallow, interesting base such as an oval platter or serving tray. On this base, use greenery and tuck in the flowers you plan to use for the flower arrangement. You can also arrange flowers around one or more candles.

For vertical flower arrangements, place flowers in interesting drinking glasses, jars, or vases created from plastic bottles. For a centerpiece, use a variety of small, unique vases filled with flowers that suit the occasion, grouping them together on a mirrored tile.

Using creativity, you can put together beautiful and memorable flower arrangements.
