Description

Arranging flowers is no mystery. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy it. Don't be afraid to start. Begin by learning the principles and fundamentals; then "learn by doing." If you make mistakes, have a good laugh at yourself and keep trying. Like the other arts, flower arranging is based on natural forms. Nature designs and colors the flowers; you select the flowers and design arrangement. To create a satisfying arrangement, follow basic art principles such as design, balance, scale, harmony, and color. Like other artists you must be willing to practice.
