At Floral Design Institute, the study of post harvest physiology is very important and on-going. In addition to our own research, we review and test all research and opinions in the industry. With the knowledge, tools, treatment processes, flower foods and long the lasting cultivars available today, there simply is no reason that you cannot have wonderful long lasting flowers.
Welcome to our Flower Library. In these pages you will find the most popular flowers and foliages used in floral design. We have pictured and detailed the common and botanical names of each flower along with its seasonal availability and colors. You may search for a flower by name or by image.
Floral Design is a planned process; a careful application of design elements, principles, forms, styles and techniques which results in a composition that is pleasing to the eye. In this library we will explore the science and art of floral design. Enjoy!
Floral Design Styles are both classic and evolving. Many classic styles were established
thousands of years ago and are seemingly timeless. Other classic styles have nearly disappeared
in usage; however they continue to influence the evolving styles that are popular
today.
Floral Design Techniques are the “nuts & bolts” of
floral design. A good understanding of
the basics in the construction of a floral design is essential to the
completion of a superior design.
Accomplished floral designers are continuously studying, practicing and refining
floral design techniques.
Floral Design is both a decorative craft and a creative art
form. In this section we explore advanced
floral design as art. While there is no
single definition of “art”, to be considered floral art, floral design must be highly
creative, original and emotionally link the designer and the viewer.
As with any creative art form, floral design is subject to
the influence of many factors including: fashion clothing trends, architecture and
interiors, mass media, social media and celebrity culture. At Floral Design Institute, ongoing trends
are intimately observed and analyzed so that we can assist professional floral
designers stay up to date with the latest floral trends.
