What is the right proportion of cut flowers to create a nice arrangement in a vase? Can you give me some other suggestions about flower arranging?
This Brooklyn Botanic Garden article, provides some helpful tips on different aspects of flower arrangement. Here is an excerpt from Cut Flower Care by Rose Edinger:
“The height of the flowers should be in proportion to the size of the container—that is, the height of the flowers should not exceed one and a half times the height of the container.”
The Miller Library also has many books about flower arranging, two of which I’ve listed below:
Flower Arranging from the Garden (1989), by Daphne and Sid Love
The Complete Guide to Flower Arranging (1995), by Jane Packer
