Principles

Ikebanathe Japanese art of

arranging flowers and other plant material in harmony with the environment

HOME

Principles of Ikebana1.There should be three main parts of an arrangement. Each part must enhance the others in line, shape, color, and mood.

2.The stems should be placed at angles; the height of the stems should be calculated to achieve balance and proportion.

3. Containers are usually shallow but must be able to hold at least 8 cm (3 in) of water

3. Add filler flowers to integrate the design.

Once you have finished arranging your flowers you should try to keep them out of direct sunlight or heat and away from fruit as exposure will exacerbate the wilting process. You should also remember to keep topping the water up and to change it every few days.
