Floriography

[firsteditionbfs]

❈ allows for alteration in meaning depending on colour, fruit, flower, bud, steam, leaves and thorns
❈ For a handheld bouquet the center is the ‘thesis.’
❈ Larger arrangements usually are read according the feature made most prominent.
❈ plants themselves offer the concepts and then the divisions modifies it. Tense is bud - starting, flower - present, and fruit - fruition
❈ dried which means an end or death of the concept
❈ Stem, leaves, and thorn are more to do with woody plants, although can be used as modifiers as well
❈ Bouquets are read, stems, then center to outside of the arrangement
❈ The central flower/plant should have the meaning with the most feeling or importance attached with flowers surrounding it
❈ Budded flowers mean something is beginning, full flowers represent the fullness of that meaning, dried flowers represent a momento of something that has passed
❈ Stems, and what they’re wrapped with, can give extra meaning and emphasis
❈ delivered unbound from the giver’s hands it is a sign of personal felling/regard
❈ Ribbon colour or whatever the bouquet is bound with is a sort of final punctuation or postscript, or in some cases, the envelope, delivering the first of message before you get to the flowers, the letter
❈ Short stems mean that the bouquet is meant to be personal - and at times private, long stems mean that it is a message that is welcome to be shared
❈ Leaves symbolise the vitality, or hope, of the statement
