Elongated Floral Designs in Floristry

These Gorgeous Blue Orchids have been artificially coloured to bring drama to this arrangement.

As a florist, my first vision is drawn to the interplay of colours btween the red rose and the white tulip. This is expertly dramatised by the vibrant blue orchid.

If I try to combine these odd colours of royal blue orchid, blood red rose and white tulip in any other floral style I will not get the same dramatic visual effect.

The elongated floral style is particularly suited to combining oddly mixed coloured flowers and surprissingly to a single monochromatic flower arrangement, like white flowers all the way.

White roses, white orchids and white tulips will look equally stunning  in this elongated floral display.

Another mention as a florist designer is the creative use of Greens, the thick monstera leaf reflects the light around the floral display. The springeri greens very nicely absorb the light around the floral display. This interplay of light on the grren foliage of the floral display adds to the stunning visual effect.

Flower Concept

 

Here is a really simple Flower concept explained by Spring Blossoms, for adding a natural feel to your dinning table.
Take a block of artificial grass, this can be bought at any nursery today.
Cut it to the size that suits your dinning table, and insert contrasting flowers into it.
You have just made a new flower container!!
Twirl a piece  of soaked wet cotton to the base of your flowers, for hydration, advises the professional florist Spring Blossoms.

Evoke your Senses

 

Evoke your Senses

 

A Florist’s job is to create a rush of feelings for your beloved, by evoking the five senses when the flowers are received. Be it flowers for a birthday or flowers for an Anniversary.

Words are never enough to express your feelings to your beloved. Flowers do more than just expressing your feelings to the receiver.

Flowers arranged professionally and fresh flowers sent by a florist will also enhance the five senses of the receiver, your beloved.

The delicate fragrance of the Rose, or the stronger fragrance of the Lily, both make your sense of smell come alive.

People identify happy feelings with their senses, here the “power of the sniff” is heightened when she receives the roses bouquet or the lily bouquet.

The visual delight of floristry  goes with the bouquet of flowers to delight the receiver once again. The colour of the flowers, the design of the florist arrangement and the beautiful look of natural greens with the flower bouquet heightens the “visual” senses, the eyes feel happy as they sense the riot of colours within a flower bouquet.

The soft touch of the petals of the flowers in a bouquet, as she hugs that gorgeous bouquet of roses will make her feel near to you.

The softly caressing petals of the roses and lilies and other flowers in a bouquet make the sense of touch the third sense come alive with the receiver of the bouquet.

Those words that you express, even just your name, will begin to sound like music to her ears. Literally, when your beloved sees, smells and feels that bouquet of roses, its music to her ears.

That is four senses evoked!

The fifth sense of taste,  is the lip-smacking good feel that your beloved will feel. It is a fact that the mouth waters with anticipation when you see and smell a delightful meal, its the same with a bouquet of flowers, there is anticipation.

It is precisely this anticipation that causes our fifth sense of taste to become active when someone receives a bouquet of flowers. It might be the anticipation of a date, a phone call or just bringing back a memory which can be re-lived but this sense of anticipation makes the mouth water in anticipation and that is the fifth sense evoked!

 

Flowers Truly evoke the five senses. That is why there is such a unique feeling every time your beloved receives flowers. After all no one ever forgets the last time they received flowers!!

Your Florist featured in the Femina

 

“The best way to keep flowers fresher longer is to make sure they are kept in a container with clean’ water. Please ensure, that you change the water daily and cut off the sodden stem at the base, this will ensure that the water remains bacteria free and the flower can actually drink’ the clean water,” says India’s premier floral designer Laxmi Lobo of Spring Blossoms, Mumbai.

• “The best way to keep flowers fresher longer is to make sure they are kept in a container with clean’ water. Please ensure, that you change the water daily and cut off the sodden stem at the base, this will ensure that the water remains bacteria free and the flower can actually drink’ the clean water,” says India‘s premier floral designer Laxmi Lobo of Spring Blossoms, Mumbai. “Put 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of bleach in a quart of warm water. The acid from the lemon ensures an improved water flow in flower stems, sugar helps buds open and last longer, and the bleach is a preservative to reduce growth of bacteria.”

Design Tips
Laxmi provides priceless styling tips to help you plan your flower decoration in terms of space and accessories.

• Keep in mind the space you have around the floral display before you plan a large or small display and where you want to place it.

• Since flowers are inherently beautiful, do not add so many embellishments that you take away from the flowers’ natural beauty.

• The container that you use for your floral display is as important as the flowers you choose. Tall containers can be dramatic with few flowers whereas multi•coloured containers will look nicer if the flowers are all of a single colour.

• The background of your floral display has to be considered when designing with flowers. If there is lot of movement behind the floral display, like a hotel display or a passageway at home, then a monochromatic theme will attract the viewers’ eye. A background can be enhanced with brightly coloured runners on a dinner table setting; this will make a white floral display look stunning.

• “While decorating with flowers at home for a party that will last late into the night or go on till the wee hours of the morning, choose sturdy flowers like Orchids and Anthuriums rather than hollow stem Gerbera Daisies,” suggests Laxmi. This will ensure your flowers look as fresh as when the guests came in.

Flower Rangoli for Onam in India

 

ONAM

Thiru Onam (from Sravana?) is celebrated in the second half of August (the Chingam month of Kollam Era) when the August monsoon rains come to an end and the summer heat gives way to the pleasant warmth of the Kerala autumn.  Anthropologists see in Onam a great fertility rite, the ceremony of Thanksgiving for a plentiful harvest.  For Keralites Onam is the celebration of the return of Mahabali, their once and future king.  This king once ruled over the Keralites during the Golden Age before caste existed, “when all men were equal, when no one was poor, when there was neither theft nor dread of thieves”

The celebration of the return of Mahabali takes four days for the Hindus. The house and yard are cleaned; a temporary mud stall is put up and washed with cow-dung solution for the royal visitor; flowers are strewn over it for the king to sit upon; pyramid-shaped images of the king called Trikkakarappan, made of wood or clay, are placed upon it as the onlookers applaud and cheer in sheer welcome.  Pujas (worship service) are performed during the four days of Onam every morning; parents give children presents, especially dresses on the occasion.  Large scale feasts are held at this family reunion — increasingly Onam is becoming a holiday like Thanksgiving which is characterized by family reunion and feasting. The Flower design or Rangoli above is a typical way of dressing the home and the places of worship.

The Flower Rangoli below is made to look like a flower. Various patterns of Flower Rangoli are made with passion and creativity.

Flower petals in various hues and colours are used. The flower rangoli pattern is first sketcked with a white chalk paste and then the petals of various local flowers are filled in.

Festive Garlands in Mumbai

My friend Arun Shanbag has caught the splendour of the festive garlands in the Mumbai flower market. (every picture leads you to his wonderful blog)

This flower market in Mumbai is where, all of mumbai comes to purchase the wonderfully entwined flowers which we mumbaikars call garlands to annoint our Lord, the Elephant God Ganapati or Ganesha with.

The Lord Ganesh is venerated all across India. In Mumbai this festival is particularly heralded with Ganapati Pandals all across the city. The Lord is on every street corner, the festival is a public festival and the community celebrates, different from most other festivals which are celebrated only in the homes.

These festive flower garlands are made of rose petals, strung together in a unique way.

 

 

The stringing of garlands is done by hand, entwining thread with the little flowers, sometimes using petals in a formation using flower needles.

 

 

The flower sellers entire lifestyle fits into this little cubicle. Notice the clothes and the pictures of deities he worships, the flower seller lives out of this box, even his accounts and cash drawer is in this space.

 

 

This double layered spaces shows us how very effectively 6 people can sit and make flower garlands.Its the spirit of Mumbai, always short on space, innovating and with the entrepreneurial ‘never say die’ Mumbaikar who is showcased in this photograph.

 

 

Traditional Lilies used for garlands hang side by side with the blue orchids from Thailand. It seems even Lord Ganesh is enthralled by the imported orchids.

 

The Mumbai Flower market is a sight to behold, if your in Mumbai at any festive time its a sure tourist destination. Best time to to go to the market to take photographs is around 5 pm when the crowds are less and the lighting is perfect.

Mumbai state of Mind

 

Genevieve McElroy, puts me in a Mumbai state of mind.

Its been a deluge of torrential rains this last weekend in Mumbai, and that picture translates into a wonderful kaleidescope of the Mumbaikars mind.

Its glorious, the rains, the weather, sometimes dull with deep blues in our mood and grey skies.

Many times the monsoon weather makes nature glorious in Mumbai. Flowers bloom everywhere, and the thirsting tress  used to traffic fumes of Mumbai, suddenly start breathing a brightness that translates into the bright pink of Genevieve’s flower  palette above, making the bright pink shifting to the pure white cineriras flowers a smooth transition, Just like Mumbai makes it transition from dullness to cheer.

Flowers really do convey emotions in myriad ways, this is so evident from the glorious flowers on display above, floating in a bowl of waer, floating like our dreams do on a wet, dull, blue yet clean and bright monsoon Mumbai weekend.

Visually delightful floristry

 

This is a Visual Delight. A florists delight. Its a masterpiece created by a Florist.

I wish I knew which florist or which floral designer created this.  I cam across the picture on images but without a credit.

Its not an easy floral arrangement to create without florist expertise.

Anyone admring and enjoying this picture should note the wonderful interplay of colours and textures that the florist has used.

The solid structure behoves the colours and hence this comes across as a florist masterpiece.

There is a kind of awe when absorbing the colours and the feel of this florist creation.

Floristry is truly an art and can be admired in the art forms that are more popular.  As a florist myself, I have always felt that the inherent nature of Floristry is such that the medium we use, flowers, are themselves beautiful, its easy to create such art out of a naturally beautifully medium of flowers.

As all of us know, flowers as a medium of art make  any floral creation look wonderful. Some floral arrangements surpass this feeling of  beauty and go further into becoming an art form

The picture above is one of those that surpasses the feeling of flowers and floristry. It becomes an art form.

Cheers to the florist who created it.

X ray Flower photos

X ray Flowers photos is a very unusual way to view flowers.  I found this article very interesting, and the concept of viewing flowers through an x ray vision as a florist, and especially a florist in India very very unusual.

Florists in India are generally not exposed to various ways of viewing flowers photos as an art of floral photography.

One reason could be that floristry and flowers in India have not yet developed to an art, as they have in the western countries. The power of the internet is of course, what exposes even florists in India to such wonderfully creative photographs and the art of floral arrangement, or should I say very unusual floristry.

Have a look…..
