At Home with Flowers- How Long to cut Flowers!
J’s Lowdown Today on At Home with Flowers- I share one of the most common questions I get about flower arranging: How LONG should I cut my Flowers?
This question links directly to one of the elements and principles of Flower design- Proportion. Proportion is determined by the size of the vase- so the answer to this week’s questions depends on the size of your vase. We want to make sure our arrangement is aesthetically pleasing- and the correct proportion helps us create a beautiful arrangement.
Proportion guidelines suggest- that an arrangement is one to one and half times the height of the container- or less… so the taller the vase- the taller your arrangement can be. I demonstrate this concept- visually with a Gorgeous Bunch of Eulforia Roses- from their weekly Farmer’s Market Stand. You can learn more about Eufloria and the Prettiest Roses on the Planet- at www.EufloriaFlowers.com
I create 3 arrangements in 3 different sized vases… so that you can visually see the difference. This is a great way to learn more about arranging flowers- and will help you enjoy more Flowers at Home!
