Great originality and ingenuity

It calls for great originality and ingenuity, and the scope of portraying quotations, song titles, precious jewels, etc. is limitless.
Never confuse well-staged gimmicks with genuine originality, and remember the flowers are more important than the accessories.
To sacrifice such principles as good design and colors blending at the expense of pure drama and impact is one of the most common faults, but do not go to the opposite extreme and concentrate so much on the basic principles that an arrangement which sets out to interpret some given subject ends up by being just another lovely design with no real connection with the subject. How to order flowers online philippines for our loveones at http://www.philippinesflowersdelivery.com/

A lively yet well-disciplined imagination is the greatest possible asset to the competitive exhibitor.
Take the subject of “Music”. One arranger interpreted this by means of rhythmic designs, using various white flowers in the form of bells, trumpets, pipes, drums, keys and strings. The leaves of Fatsia with their digital formation were used to imply that all music comes to life at the command of the human touch. The completed design was tagged against a black accordion pleated drape, the two colors used, white and black, representing those of the keyboard.
This type of arrangement may not be the wisest choice of competitive show work, however, as it could be fatal to overestimate the subtle powers of the hidden meaning.

Interesting theme
Commonplace subjects of everyday life sometimes provide the most interesting themes. “Taking the rough with the smooth” could be interpreted by a designed based on the various textures found in wood. A roughly twisted piece of driftwood in its natural state placed on a base of highly polished oak or walnut must be suitable. The use of young roughly Wrinkled Rhubarb or Rodgers leaves in association with well-oiled leaves of Megasea or Magnolia would not only emphasize the meaning of the title but would also add considerably to the general effect by virtue of the contrasting colors employed.
Alternatively, the dark brown glossiness of glycerin leaves will combine effectively with the rough texture of dried Teasels or Artichoke heads.

Royal Welsh Show
At the Royal Welsh Show, one exhibitor had given a most original interpretation of the subject, Tolstoy’s “War and Peace”. A design of lovely “Peace” Roses was very well arranged, and war was cleverly suggested by the trails of Bindweed that tightly entwined all the roses’ stems. The white marble container suggested a somber note of “In Memoriam.”
