1, flower branches and flower proportioned size to be appropriate
a, measure the scale of the flower: the scale of the flower = height + diameter.
b, determine the height of the first main branch: the standard scale, is 1.5 times the scale of the flower; If the environment needs to expand the composition of the flower arrangement, up to 2 times the size of the flower; If the environment is small and only for personal appreciation, it is also necessary to reduce the size to 1 times.
c, determine the height of the second and third main branches: the height of the second main branch should be 3/4 of the length of the first main branch; The height of the third main branch should be 3/4 of that of the second main branch.
The flower branches added around these three main branches are called "subordinate branches", as the name suggests, are a foil. In the works, subordinate branches are used to enrich the entire composition, so the number of subordinate branches is unlimited, and they should be freely increased or decreased according to the needs of the works. But there is a principle that the height of each subordinate branch cannot surpass that of its subordinate main branch. The success or failure of a flower arrangement, of course, must make great efforts to deal with the three main branches properly, often depends on the treatment of the secondary branches, the main branch is like the "skeleton" and the secondary branch is like "blood and meat". The length of the main branch is limited, and the secondary branch can only be arranged according to personal aesthetics and their own artistic cultivation. The treatment of the secondary branch often takes more time than the main branch and is difficult to deal with. This is enough to show the importance of the branch in the flower arrangement works.

4. Only one kind of leaf can be used

5, flowers and leaves should be oblique and not straight
Whether it is a pot or a bottle, the posture of flowers and leaves should always be oblique, rather than upright. As for how the slope is ideal, it depends on the size and form of the specific flower.
6, the rules should be sparse rather than dense
Flower arrangement, more or less should bring some painting, the rules must not be too dense. There is a feeling of suffocation and no ventilation, which makes people uncomfortable to see; Sparse flowers and leaves are easy to show beauty.

8, flower and flower different colors
The color of the flower must not be the same as the color of the flower pot or vase; For example, the flower is big red, big purple, or rhubarb, dark yellow, the flower should be all white or light blue.

9, the flower must be recognized
When choosing flowers, we should have an understanding of the durability of main flowers and guest flowers.

10, the place must be appropriate
The height of the flower device also determines the overall pattern of the flower arrangement. Therefore, after the flower arrangement is completed, the position of the flower must be determined by the height of the flower. For example, short round, should be placed on the table or wine cabinet; High square, should be placed in the window, or on the desk, placed improperly, viewing will also reduce interest.
11, the main and secondary flowers should be clear
When cutting flowers, choose one of the best looking as the main branch, and the rest as auxiliary branches and foil branches to supplement the deficiency of the main branch, so that it is more substantial, and the whole composition can achieve a balanced effect.
12. Distribute flowers evenly
Whether the main flower or the guest flower should be considered to echo each other, the flower distribution is symmetrical. The main, secondary and foil branches should be properly matched and form a whole.
