CONSISTENCY. CONSISTENCY!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>TEXTURE:<\/strong> You can&#8217;t just stick random flowers all together and expect them to look perfect. Your best bet is to use multiples of 3, 5 ,and 7 of each type of flower in an arrangement. Using odd numbers makes a triangular pattern\u00a0 that does not make an arrangement look too planned. You do not need to have each type of flower placed exactly the same distance from each other, but making sure each type of flower is on the front, back, and sides, is a great way to maintain consistency. This way you will have an even spread of flowers with a bit of consistency. Texture also refers to the shape of flowers, the fluffiness, the hardness, the shine, and dullnes. Keep in mind that it is good to mix a few textures but too many will make a cluttered and non-consistent texture!

Using 3 main colors are great for designing a wedding flower design. Flowers are great because they provide extra texture using natural shading. More than 5 colors is usually too cluttered. Also remember that greenery does not count as a color in the palette, greenery is always a great addition and base to all arrangements!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>SHAPE. <\/strong>There are quite a lot of floral design shapes! Luckily the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=194\">wildflower<\/a> trend that is so popular today makes imperfect shapes popular. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/diy\/flower-trends-side-diy-bride-making-wedding-flowers-easy-diy\/\">Imperfect shapes <\/a>are much easier to make than very specific and technical arrangements. Remember that bouquets are much easier to make without using foam. The only time we suggest using foam for a bouquet is when you are designing a cascading bouquet and you have had at least one practice run! We recommend using floral foam for most centerpieces and arrangements! Check out the shapes below and see how to build them out of floral foam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/diy\/flower-101-design-elements-diy-wholesale-flowers\/attachment\/floral-shapes\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5491\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5491 aligncenter\" title=\"Floral-Shapes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Floral-Shapes.jpg\" alt=\"Floral design shapes\" width=\"568\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Floral-Shapes.jpg 568w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Floral-Shapes-150x139.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Floral-Shapes-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Floral-Shapes-100x92.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Floral-Shapes-160x149.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Remember there is plenty you can learn to get the most our of your DIY Wedding flowers.
