— The Crescent — A good design for oval-shaped vessels. Note that the center is low and contains the greater part of the flowers.
— The Semicircle — An excellent design for vases with pedestal bases, usually used in the dining room.
— The Slanting Line — It forms a graceful slanting design.
usually appear suitable in a slender china vessel, nor do delicate blossoms in a vessel of coarse earthenware. Every kind of flower calls for a kind of vessel: field flowers and the sturdy kinds of flowers, such as zinnias, take the heavy, unpolished containers; while delicate flowers, such as violets and lilies, take the containers of glass, alabaster, and porcelain. Glazed earthenware, wooden, and metal containers serve for all the kinds of flowers that are neither delicate nor sturdy.
A heavily ornamented vessel, and especially one decorated with flower designs, is neither suitable nor desirable, for it detracts from the beauty of the flowers themselves. But if you have a truly beautiful vessel, you can make an arrangement that completes the vessel and gives it the importance it deserves as a work of art; in this case the flowers are secondary to the container.
With sound taste and complete freedom of expression, together with practice, you can master the art of flower arrangement and produce the beautiful, original results of which every lady is proud.
