In the broadest sense floral design is the art of combining plants, flowers, and cuttings into an aesthetically pleasing array. Floral design is thousands of years old and spans time, culture, and society. Mankind has employed it when forming massive works such as the hanging gardens of Nineveh, Central Park in New York, and in much smaller works such as the Wedding Bouquet. Smaller floral designs can easily be learned online and created at home.
In this free online video series learn from expert freelance florist Amelia Tallman as she teaches how to design floral arrangements, how to use floral foam, and what tools to use when creating an arrangement.
"Hello, my name is Amelia Tallman, and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to talk to you today about arranging flowers. Now when you want to arrange flowers you will need some tools and I have them here. First thing that you will need is a pair of scissors or sheers. You will want some scissors that you will not be using for other things like cutting fabric or hair, because cutting through the fibers of flowers and greens will dull the blade pretty quickly; so it might frustrate you when you are trying to cut something else if you have been using it for flower arranging. The next tool you will need is a knife. You want a rather short bladed knife that does not have serrations on the edge, because you will cut the stems of the flowers against your thumb, and you don’t want the serrations to be pressing into your fingers. And when you go in to begin cleaning your flowers, you will also want to have a large pitcher of water ready to go directly to put your flowers in once you cleaned them. "
