How Much do you Know about Flower Arrangements?

Posted by Anand Tiwari on May 20th, 2019

Flowers as gifts generally have powerful messages to convey – messages that are often overlooked – since we are not really aware of the significance of flowers (and are not even bothered to read them up as well. And no – we aren’t solely talking about flowers but their arrangements as well. The way the blooms are arranged tells you a lot about what the gifter wants to convey. If you are presently looking for Flower Delivery in Kolkata then do make sure that you are acquainting yourself with the meaning of each type of bouquet so that you are absolutely sure about the message that you are finally sending across to your loved ones on their weddings, anniversaries or birthdays.

Elliptical flower arrangement: The Most Popular One

Elliptical flower arrangement – to start off with – actually makes for a common choice. In this particular arrangement the flowers are placed right in the form of ellipse. Roses, lilies, dahlia, lotuses and sunflowers make for common inclusions in this particular arrangement. Elliptical flower bouquets are designed for vibrant occasions like weddings and birthdays. Only the brightest most sweet-scented blooms are chosen for this arrangement. So, one can understand what the vibrancy is all about!

Fan-shaped Arrangements: Timeless!!! 

The fan shaped arrangement – of course – makes for a classic choice. Alternately known as the traditional bouquets, this one is a favorite of both the buyers and florists at the same time. The flowers and leaves are arranged in such a fashion that they end up resembling a fan together (the leaves look like the blades). These arrangements may come with the same or differently colored flowers in them.  The empty spaces between these flowers are occupied by fillers. Needless to say, they look gorgeous.

Triangular bouquets: Where Craftsmanship meets Gloss

The entire arrangement is shaped by trimming the flower bunch at first. The tip of the triangle is the big flower which is placed right in the middle – so that the trimmed flowers in the sides end up resembling the remaining portion of a triangle. This arrangement is mostly presented in glossy cellophane papers.

The Horizontal and Vertical Flower Bouquets

The horizontal flower bouquets have got a global touch to it – quite simply because of the fact that the florists across the globe end up making them. So, today, if you are placing an order with a reputed store anywhere in India, you might as well come across these bouquets. Flowers of different hues are arranged in zig zag or rows. Usually flowers with very strong scents are used for this particular arrangement.

Vertical flower arrangements are available both in baskets and bouquets. The vertical arrangements consist of different sizes and colors of flowers.

The cascade flower arrangement

This one makes for a bushy yet gorgeous arrangement. The most unique attribute of this particular bouquet is that besides the stems, leaves and flowers, a lot of green grass is used here. Wedding ceremonies and anniversaries are the common occasions when these arrangements are presented. Are you placing your order for the Midnight Gift Delivery in Kolkata with a reputed florist?

The oval shaped arrangements are fashioned with precision as well. We have already told you how the flowers and stems in the triangular bouquets are arranged. Do let us tell you that the oval shaped bouquets are fashioned in a similar way. The bushy arrangement is available in bunches, bouquets and baskets. It is primarily used for interior décor or for that matter party décor.

….And the Coveted One

The “S” shaped arrangements are unique in their own ways and can actually be presented in any occasion whatsoever. They are generally made up of large-sized flowers and are placed in flower stands that appear upright.

Educating yourself about arrangements remains an interesting exercise.

However, there is no harm in learning about them since they do guide us regarding the occasions when they should ideally be gifted.
