Practice camaïeu: Choose a
monochromatic colour palette, working with a range of, for example, all
white/off whites, pinks and purples, darks, chartreuses in different hues. This
gives a feeling of stillness and uniformity to the composition. Stay with all
cool hues, or warm hues, not both. The result will be more balances and calming.
Focus,
texture, filigree: Three words to keep in mind as you choose materials and build your
arrangement.
Pre-hydrate:
Cut stems at an angle to increase surface area and ensure they absorb fresh water
for a few hours prior to arranging them.
Seek
imperfection: Flaws are charming. Forage elements such as grasses and
sculptural branches. Tightwad loves unusual bark and lichen in her
arrangements.
It’s not
just about the flowers: Choose your container to scale
with the volume of flowers you are working with. The vessel alone should
create a statement so that your blooms remain elegant, minimal and foraged,
while still appearing sculptural and unique.
