i want a simple flower arrangement but i can't figure the colors i can use so it looks good my walls are kind of a greyish green, my second color is a red that leans more to wine red, i have some black accessories I look at colors in the hobby stores but nothing comes to me for a color arrangement. I really don't want to over do the red and i also have several greenery arrangements around. please help thank you
Thank you for your answer! Do you perhaps have some images that you might be able to post here as to where you would like the flowers to be in relation to the colors of the rooms? If so, then I do know some people on this site who would be able to give you some definite opinions about it. Thank you!
my artifical flowers would be in a 14" vase mostly redwine color with green and gold it is sitting on a small wicker table in front of my large window. the wall surrounding the window is greyish green the side curtains are cocoa brown the beige sofa is next to that. the side chair is mostly redwine with some light green and gold the pillows on the sofa matches the side chair. behind the sofa i have a table with 2 lamps the shades are in a redwine color. my coffee table has a vase with mostly reds, some green and gold candles in same color my recliner and carpet is beige.
Graphic flowers like lillies and tulips or more traditional, detailed flowers like roses and orchids or sweet flowers like daisies?
Would you consider non flower elements?
Such as gold sprayed twigs or ribbon, dynamic leaves?
From your colour scheme you can't really go wrong with a wine red flower arrangement with possibly cream elements. Although my mum has always told me to not put red and cream together due to superstition. It just depends whether you have the same superstitiion or not!
It would really be helpful to know what your style is. For example, is your home contemporary, modern, or eclectic? Or does it have more of a down home country feeling?
If you want to go traditional, your arrangement should be no more than about 1 and 1/2 the size of your vase. You said it would be on a small wicker stand, so it would also depend on the height and width of your stand.
Just from the info you've given, I would make a one-sided arrangement, since it's sitting against the window, and get 2 or 3 red wine flowers as your focal point. You can then add drieds and such, as your compliments, to pick up the other colors in your room.
There are so many quality flowers to choose from now, your choices are endless really! Buy good quality flowers, even if it means you have to spend a little bit more. They hold up better, and are easier to keep clean.
