What is floristics
Long ago people considered flowers to be one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet Earth. To date, little has changed. This love and hobby entailed the allocation of an entire science, studying flowers and composing compositions from them, which received a melodic name - floristics.
Floristry is a visual art, but instead of colors, live or artificial flowers are used, their petals and leaves, small inflorescences, individual buds, etc. Such a science is a manifestation of the creative abilities of a person, his imagination and fantasy, because each composition is unique and unique in its kind: there are no two absolutely identical flowers or petals.
Compositions from flowers become an integral element on any holiday: a wedding, a themed party, a corporate party, etc. Besides, it should be noted that it is possible to pick up floral works of art to any interior, as well as create them with your own hands. Flower delivery service Kiev offers you bouquets, decorated with taste and all your preferences.
Floristics has become one of the types of arts and crafts. It is manifested in the creation of unique floral compositions, panels, collages and bouquets, using only natural materials (flowers, leaves, herbs, berries, nuts, etc.) in a dry, canned or alive form.
Experienced florists in the creation of their work are guided by three types of techniques:
• Basic, which includes the proper arrangement, planting of plants;
• Decorative consists of stringing, weaving, binding, etc .;
• Protective (from moisture, evaporation, as well as typing and coating with wax).
The beginning of floristry can not be determined exactly, because flowers since ancient times used as the main element of decorating their own home. More recently, only the name of this art form was given.
Do not confuse the concept of "floral" and "floral design." The second definition involves the creation of compositions of flowers in vases, balls and baskets, bouquets of cut flowers. Usually, people working in the field of flower design, direct their activities to retail. The concept of "floristic" assumes the same cultivation of colors and compositions of them. It should be noted that this term can not be attributed to the business and sale of tracks. Because floristry is not a genus of professional activity, but a creative soul that requires self-expression through the beautiful world of flowers.
I would like to note the fact that the importance of floristics in the life of each person increases day by day. The role of this science in the education of children is becoming more and more popular. In addition to promoting creativity and loving nature, floristry enables children to express their imagination, evokes the desire to create, while filling their little hearts with sincere love for everything beautiful.
Each country, and sometimes the city, has its own floristic art features, preferences in choosing flowers. For some, flower arrangements are an interior decoration, for someone - a wedding bouquet or a boutonniere for a groom, others do not represent their life without bouquets of fresh flowers, and someone wants to see on their walls a panel or a collage of dried flowers. Whatever it was, floristry is an unusually diverse and ambiguous science. In it everyone, without exception, can find his own way of communicating with nature, a way of self-realization and inspiration.
In the end, I would like to say that floristry has become a manifestation of a special communication between man and nature through the language of flowers. And relying on this, the main purpose of the florist becomes the task of mediation in this communication, to be a guide to the wonderful and unattainable world of beauty.
