• Unit Essential Question: What are the basic principles to creating flower arrangements?

• Lesson Essential Question: What are the nine basic principles of floral design?

Floral Design

• Art used through history• Weddings, funerals, formal

events• Malls, airports, stores, etc

9 Principles of Design

• balance• focal point• proportion• scale

• accent• repetition• rhythm • harmony• unity

Balance

• When flower size & container flow together & complement each other

• Arrangement has visual weight • Symmetrical • Formal arrangement

Balance

unBalance

Focal Point

• Creates accent & interest • Created by use of unusual

flowers, groups of flowers or a large flower

• Must complete arrangement

Focal Point

Proportion

• To keep relative size, color & texture of the flowers to create a pleasing arrangement

• General rule: designs be at least 1 ½ times the height or width of container to create proper proportion

Proportion

• Points farthest from focal point should have buds.

• Flowers in full bloom used as focal point

Proportion

• Size of flowers, where arrangement is to be used, placement of arrangement & overall size of completed design

Accent

• To draw attention • Focal point to emphasize• Catches attention & enhances

design

Accent

Repitition

• To accentuate flowers & colors used in design

• Repeating use of material or color can be effective

Repitition

• Sense of continuity among shapes, colors & textures

• “everything flows”

Harmony

• When all parts flow together & give a total, completed look to arrangement

Harmony

• When all of the arrangement flows together & is not segmented

• Color, size & shape must complement each other

Activity

• Principles of Design Packet

Warm-up

• What are the 9 principles of design? Why are they important?

Lesson essential question

• How do we properly design a flower arrangement?

Design materials

• 4 types–Line–Mass–Form–Filler flowers

Design materials

• Line flowers- snapdragons, liatris, delphinium, foxglove, ligularia, loosestrife, Bells of Ireland & gladiolus

Gladiolus

Bells of Ireland

Delphinium

Liatris

ligularia

Design materials

• Massing flowers- to create all design principles & to accent focal point.

• EX: roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, zinnias, coneflowers, tulip, shasta daisy & asters

Design materials

Shasta DaisyZinnias

Coneflower

Design materials

• Form flowers- to create accent or focal point

• Bird of paradise, protea, lily & orchid

Design materials

Bird of paradise

Orchid

protea

Design materials

• Filler flowers- tie arrangement together, fill empty spaces & cover mechanics of arrangement

• EX: Bakers fern, baby’s breath, statice, heather, huckleberry, ornamental grasses, palm, lavender, etc

Design materialsBakers fern

Baby’s Breath

Garden huckleberry Statice

Floral Design Shapes

• Round

• Triangle

• horizontal

• crescent

Floral Design - Crescent

• Hogarth (S) curve

• Right angle

Designing a Circular Arrangement

• 1. select round container, 18 inch wire, shears, floral foam & sharp knife

• 2. half block of floral foam, use wire to cut in half

• 3. place foam in container, set in bucket of water for 20 minutes to soak completely

• 4. select bakers fern. Arrange to cover container & block of foam

• 5. choose flowers to create outline of arrangement

• 6. establish circular arrangement at base using flower

• 7. turn design to place third flower & continue pattern

• 8. arrange next flower to continue design & continue outline

• 9. arrange 2 flowers in between top & base

• 10. add remaining flowers until circular arrangement is filled. Keep space between flowers

• 11. filler flowers (babys breath) placed in between flowers.

• Create a circle arrangement

Warm-up

• What are the steps to designing a circular arangement?

Lesson Essential Question

• How do we create a corsage & boutonniere?

• Special occassions–Dances–Proms–Holiday parties–Weddings

Corsages

• Should be created with individual in mind (size, colors, position, etc)

• Consultation with designer regarding flower type, color & ribbon to use

How to tape • Tape applied by holding wired

flower between thumb & forefinger of one hand & apply tape to stem by twisting wired flower with other hand, pull tape tightly around stem

• Tape will become sticky as stretched

Corsages• Wire used to:

–Hold the flowers in correct position in design

–Make arranging easier–Prevent flower heads from

breaking off

Corsages• Wire used to:

–Reduce bulkiness–Make adding accessories easier–4 methods of wiring

Hook Method• Composite (daisylike) florets• Asters, black-eyed susans, daisy

chrysanthemums, etc• 1. cut stem to ½ inch of calyx, strip

any leaves

Hook Method• 2. insert end of 6 inch 22 gauge wire

in stem & up flower• 3. bend wire into a hood ¼ inch long• 4. slowly & gently pull wire back

through flower or until it catches in top of calyx & is not visible

Hook Method• 5. tape flower, starting high on calyx

& continue down stem

Piercing method• 1. remove stem ½ inch below calyx

& pierce calyx halfway down, pull wire through to ½ the length of wire

• 2. bend wire down on both sides, do not wrap

• 3. tape flower• Used for: roses, carnations, etc

Clutchwire method• Used for: gladiolus, camellias,

garden, football & spider mums• 1. take 8 inches of wire & fold in

half, place fold around calyx & stem of flower

Clutchwire method• 2. wrap one half around flowers

stem or calyx & around other half til wire is used

• 3. tape flower

Hairpin method• Used: tubular flowers, stephanotis• 1. take 8 inches of wire & bend in

half, place small wad of cotton in bend to support flower

• 2. insert wire down through floret, keep cotton in place

Hairpin method• 3. gently pull wire down until cotton

wad firmly fixed in the flower trumpet. Twist around calyx, tape floret.

Activity• Make single carnation corsage using

procedure on pg 570 in book.

Boutonnieres• Single flower or small bouquet worn

by men • Selected based on preference • Carnation, rose, chrysanthemum &

stephanotis usually used

Boutonnieres• 1. select flower• 2. use piercing method to wire

flower• 3. bend wire down next to stem• 4. select greenery to use on back,

use bakers fern

Boutonnieres• 5. tape bakers fern, rose stem &

wire together in one step• Mist the boutonniere & attach a pin

parallel to stem, & place in small bag or box

Activity• Create a boutonniere

Warm- up• What are the steps in the clutchwire

method?

Lesson Essential Question• How are enhancements used in

floral arrangements?

Bow• Important accessory to many

arrangements• Color & texture will depend on

arrangement• Satin, velvet, plastic, cotton, flocked,

& burlap ribbon

Bow• Come in a variety of sizes• 2 types: decorators bow & pinch

Bow• Using procedures on page 554, and

556, create bows

Floral Design

AHS Agriculture

Warm-up• What type of bow do you feel is

easier to make?

Lesson essential question

• How do we create holiday centerpieces?

Centerpieces• Used to decorate & create interest

in home• Found on dining room tables, dry

sinks, & hutches• Candles usually part• Evergreens suitable (douglas fir,

noble fir, white pine, yew, holly, etc)

Centerpieces• To keep fresh, dip it in water until

no air bubbles come out

Centerpieces

Centerpieces• Page 549, create a centerpiece

using the procedure or create one that you have found

• You may add any enhancements or flowers that you like as long as they are available

Review• Review for test• Before you leave, answer this:
