Many people who are unfamiliar with the art of floristry simply believe that a florist does nothing more than jam a bunch of flowers into a pretty vase and then mark up the price to make a living – this could not be further from the truth. Florists must have excellent coordination, a keen eye for design and a good working knowledge of the plants that they use in order to be even the least bit successful.



A steady Hand and a keen Eye

A good florist knows how to select the healthiest and heartiest forms of the plant they will use in a particular arrangement. They know how to cut and handle each individual flower (or any other piece of foliage that they are using) so that none of the pieces of the arrangement get damaged during the creative process. A broken and bruised flower has no place in a beautiful arrangement, so the utmost care is taken throughout the entire process to ensure that all the flowers remain healthy.

Knowledge of Color and Design

When creating a custom arrangement, a florist must know what colors will work together in the arrangement as well as what will work in particular surroundings. They must also be aware of textures and smell that will work together in a pleasing manner to make the most overall aesthetically appealing arrangement.

Some florists are capable of this entire part of the process by natural instinct, they can just tell what types of plants and flowers will work together and which will not. Other florists will study art and design in an effort to give them a creative edge in this area to produce the best flower arrangements possible.

Theme Arrangements

Creating beautiful flowers isn’t just a seasonal thing; all types of occasions and holiday require the florist to put forth their effort in developing new and exciting arrangements. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, births, deaths and holidays are all occasions that flower arrangements can be provided for.

During some of these more special or thoughtful occasions, florists may go to an extra level to create a particularly beautiful piece. Some florists will create arrangements using a customers favorite flower as the centerpiece upon request – in these arrangements a florist may have to use materials that they are not entirely familiar working with so the creative part of their personality must really come into play.

For other occasions the florist may create an arrangement that looks floral, but doesn’t include any flowers. Arrangements may be made from food products or other unusual items to create a truly original and custom arrangement.

For other occasions a florist may be called upon to create floral wreaths, corsages or boutonnières, which can be even more difficult because these arrangements don’t have anything in which to house or contain them.

Floristry is certainly not something that just anyone can do, the how of making a flower arrangement is a difficult task that requires many elements and areas of knowledge to complete as beautifully and perfectly as possible for a special occasion. Flower arrangements are the centerpieces of such forever memorable occasions as weddings and proms and gifts that the memory of will be cherished for years to come.

Flower arrangements can alter the whole mood of an event; a truly beautiful arrangement can be the icing on the cake, so to speak. It’s true that anyone can easily pick some flowers and plop them in a vase, but only a well trained and ultra creative florist can create an arrangement that will not only steal the show, but last through it as well.

What Flower Arrangements

During the planning stages of your floral design, there are several additional arrangements that should be considered. Along with your floral designer, you should consider creating a floral arrangement for the cake table, head table, guest sign in table, seating arrangement card table and potentially the gift table as well as table centerpieces. The design of the reception location may also warrant additional arrangements, such as the entry to the reception area, around the dance floor or along a buffet table.

Flower arrangements originally created for the wedding service can potentially be re-used for the reception. However, you will want to verify ahead of time the expectations of your wedding service locations. Many churches anticipate that the flowers will remain for weekend services so be sure to check ahead of time.

Creative Reception Flower Arrangements

The focus of the floral design for a wedding traditionally revolves around bouquets, boutonnieres and flowers for the wedding site. Wedding reception flower arrangements are a great opportunity to add a personal and customized touch to your reception site by choosing a design that reflects a wedding theme or the personalities of the pride and groom. Wedding reception flower arrangements can set the tone of a reception, adding anything from a romantic ambiance to playful whimsy.

Wedding reception flower arrangements do not necessarily have to be composed of strictly flowers. Floral designers typically have colorful accents for your arrangements such as artificial fruit coated with shimmering glitter or decorative ornaments that coordinate with your color palette. Candles are another option for your flower arrangements.

The use of baskets, vases, bowls and decorative containers are all additional required selections during the floral design process of wedding planning. Floral designers also typically have a wide range of stands and structural components to create wedding reception flower arrangements. It will be important to consider whether you want an arrangement that is raised off the table to allow guests to easily see and speak with each other, one that is low to the table or one that is entirely artistic as well as large enough to be a focal point for the room.

Using Artificial or Real Flowers

These days it is often difficult to tell whether a flower is silk or natural. For brides interested in creating the majority of their arrangements, artificial flowers provide the opportunity to create wedding reception flower arrangements ahead of time. While a very efficient and crafty bride may be able to pull off creating the arrangements with live flowers prior to the event date, it would be far more difficult and consuming during a time that should be spent celebrating.

Wedding reception flower arrangements provide a great opportunity to show some creativity and personality. The ability to set the tone for a reception with unique and beautiful arrangements should not be overlooked during the planning process. Designing unique flower arrangements will create a memorable evening for you as well as your guests.

· WATER Flowers are composed of more than 90% water. Water carries nutrients through the tiny vessels, up the stem and leaves, to the flower. Water keeps the flower fresh, firm and alive after it has been cut from the growing plant.

- Fresh cut flowers must never be allowed to dry out. They must have water at all times.

· FOOD Cut flowers have lost their source of food, so you must provide an energy source for the flower to stay looking fresh. Preservatives are available from your local florist. Forget the aspirin and lemon lime soda tricks; they simply are not a good source of energy for fresh cut flowers.

- Use of no preservative, too little preservative or the improper preservative will decrease flower life span.

· HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT Temperature affects the life of fresh cut flowers. Cool temperatures slow down the deterioration process while warm temperatures speed it up. Excessively hot or cold temperatures will cause a great deal of damage. Flowers also need fresh air, free from pollutants and gases, particularly ethylene to stay healthy.

- Flowers that are placed in the sunlight or near a heat source, including electronic equipment such as a television will harm the life of flowers. Cold drafts or freezing temperatures are another hazard.

· SANITATION To prevent the growth of stem-clogging organisms that will inhibit the life of flowers clean water, tools and air are a must.

- Dirty tools, water and solutions will encourage bacterial growth which clogs stems and prevents the absorption of water.

A word about ethylene gas. Flowers must be protected form fruit and vegetables which gives off ethylene gas as it ripens. Therefore, placing flowers in a food refrigerator is not a good idea. Certain machinery also produces ethylene gas. Look for these characteristics when purchasing quality fresh flowers:

• Flowers should be firm and not limp.
• Stems should be clean, not dark and/or slimy
• Flowers should be free of disease and insects
• There should not be breakage
• Good color should be visible with little or no discolorations
• Single-stemmed flowers should be showing color, about to open
• Cluster or spike flowers should have one or two buds open
• Filler flowers should have one third to one half of the flowers open
• Flowers with centers should be open with green or mostly green centers

Purchasing flowers from a florist should insure that they have been properly cleaned, feed, conditioned and kept away from sources of ethylene gas. Choose beautiful healthy long lasting flowers to enjoy!
