Arrangement- parallel

A parallel arrangement. This was a college work.

It has 2 important key points.

First idea is to enhance the negative space. Having had vertical stems with white roses, yellow carnations and white lisianthks, make sure to have empty space between them. Please note that this kind of arr is not intended to make mass work which usually has a profile or a dome shape.

Second idea is rhythm. It is manifested by same materials. For example, 3 roses make a straight line. It shows an even space, which can be interpreted as "rhythm." Even or uneven space in each line enriches each vertical line.

Note
This is a front-facing design rather than round.

There is little information about the design apart from a book of NAFAS. So I hope this article would be of help for you.

The Principles of Design- Rhythm

Drumsticks create rhythm towards a rose.

Rhythm is a movement.

Rhythm is one of the principles of design. It shapes a movement clearly. It can also be found in any music. Every beat of music makes up tempo. By adding small bits of rhythm to a work, it has a certain characteristic on it.

In terms floristry, it is a movement of eye. We feel easy to follow a line or a curve from the beginning to the end. In my opinion, tt is very practical to add rhythming parts on design to make it in harmony.
