BASIC PRINCIPLES
OF FLOWER
ARRANGEMENT
Liliana Bordallo
INTRODUCTION
• Liliana Bordallo, a Florida-based business owner, is the
director of Household Services, Inc., also called Lili’s. Under
her guidance, the company assesses interior design choices,
cares for children, and maintains large homes. Further, Liliana
Bordallo and her team handle event decorations, including
the creation of flower arrangements.
Whether you are turning an inexpensive bouquet into
something more artistic or designing floral arrangements for
a large event, several basic principles should be followed,
including:
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
• - Balance. Even when a flower arrangement is not completely
symmetrical, it should not be unbalanced. Make sure the design
looks balanced from the top, front, sides, and back of the
arrangement.
- Rhythm. The rhythm of a floral arrangement keeps the eyes
moving easily across the entire piece instead of letting them rest
on a single spot or look away. Create rhythm by repeating a color
or pattern in the arrangement.
- Dominance. Choose a texture, shape, color, or size that
dominates the entire piece. This feature creates a feeling of unity
and harmony throughout the arrangement and helps hold the
interest of viewers. If you have two or more dominating elements
in a piece, the arrangement looks disjointed and less interesting.
