Stately white proteas with a few sprigs of salal foliage | Floristry Design Tutorial
Sometimes you don’t need much to create something visually stunning. Today’s design is to share how easy it is to use even numbers in a floral design. When I was doing my training, I could not understand why you were only allowed to use odd numbers - 3,5 7 or 9. My question then and now is, what say you placed 3 beautiful blooms and there is need for a 4 th? Do you simply discard the design or find something else!
Rules sometimes need to be shattered and that’s what I want to demonstrate today. It can be done and it will not look wrong, it’s a matter of placing. This method works best with larger formed flowers like protea. On their own they are what I call statement flowers. They visually hold their own in size, shape, colour and texture.
Additionally, the right container will also make the completed design look better. I think of these heavy flowers, as in visually heavy in size. Yes, they could look nice is glass, but because of the texture think or lean more towards something earthy and heavy in composition like terracotta. Mine started life plain, but I felt that by adding a stencilled whitish pattern, this helped with colour transition or an additional texture to draw the eye up into the flowers or back down to the vessel.
The stencilled design also helps to break up the weight of the container. To me, it’s like wearing mascara. Is mascara important? Does it make a difference? Can you see it? It’s a finishing detail that aids. In this case, the stencilled print isn’t necessary, but it’s an added visual bonus.
- The container I’m using is 20” tall with an opening of 5”
- 4 stems of white protea, 2 pieces of twisty willow
- 4 or 5 stems of salal foliage
