Lesson 10 : Basic Shapes of Flower Arrangements

Horizontal Arrangement

A very shallow container is used to make this type of flower karrangement. It has strong, low horizontal lines that are parallel with the surface on which it is placed. Many times the longest stems are extended beyond the normal proportions resulting in an enhanced horizontal line. In addition they are often angle d downward, providing a soft arching look. This design is considered to be a restful and tranquil arrangement since it provides a feeling of stability. Normally this design will feature a single large flower as its focal point. This particular arrangement is perfect for a dining room or coffee table. One might also consider using this arrangement on a windowsill, shelf or as an accent under a picture.
