Floral arrangements are a beautiful way to liven up a room, pull together a wedding decor, or just make someone feel good. For this reason, it is very important to understand all the parts that are involved in a floral arrangement of any kind. What kinds of things can you expect to see? Here’s a look at the most common things.

Flowers

What more would you like from a professional Sunshine Coast florist than flowers? The flowers are in the center of the piece, and everything else is built around the flowers of your choice. Therefore, it is a good idea to know what types of flowers you may want to include in the arrangement.

floral foam

The floral foam is what holds the flowers in place and keeps them watered. The foam can retain some moisture, which helps keep the flowers alive and looking as fresh as possible. Plus, it’s what ensures florists can place flowers in certain positions, which helps when trying to add something intricate and unique to their floral arrangements.

Greenery

If a flower arrangement were a chorus, the flowers would be the soloists and the greenery the chorus. Greenery helps fill in all the negative space around the flowers, and it helps hide any foam flowers and other unnatural items that might be used to keep the arrangement looking its best. Greenery also adds to that “fresh” look you want from a great looking flower arrangement.

ornaments

While not all flower arrangements will have decorations, most will at least have a label that says whose flowers they are from and who they are for. On top of that, you can also use all kinds of decorations and collectibles to add another layer of depth to the flower arrangement. Many times, florists will use something representative of the holiday or special occasion for which the flowers are intended to add a bit of visual flair.

container

Last but not least, what will the fix happen in? A lot of people just assume it can go in a vase, and that’s always an option. But there are more and more containers that you can use: baskets, bowls and unique centerpieces are just a few of the options. Plus, if you do it right, they’ll want to keep the container after the flowers die!

As you can see, there are many different parts to flower arrangements, and each part works together to result in a beautiful work of art that is full of life and vibrancy. Talking to a Sunshine Coast special occasion florist about your options and determining what is best can go a long way in deciding what is best for your situation. Find one you like and get started on the process as soon as possible.
