Why I Like A Dome Interpretive Arrangement

A dome interpretive arrangement is different from the classical dome arrangement. Although the shape of the dome is maintained but less flowers is introduced in a dome interpretive arrangement.

I have always liked this arrangement because it is simple but very stylish. And it can be used to decorate any room.

With less flowers, more lines and space is introduced in this arrangement.

Another very obvious point of difference between the classical and the interpretive, is that the interpretive is always assymmetrical.

It is a 360 degrees arrangement but the materials you see and the proportion of the materials distributed in the arrangement is different at every angle.

Now, let me introduce to you the materials I'm going to use to make a dome interpretive arrangement.

• barbie pink roses

• red berries

• cream eustoma

• song leaves

• fatsia leaf

• round container

• floral foam

• rattan

As always, we need to prepare the container first. Soak a block of foam in clean water. Make sure the foam fully absorbed the water.

Insert the foam into the container, leaving about 1cm of height above the container.

Next, insert the pre-shaped rattan into the foam. The rattan is made of many pieces of rattan tied together with copper wire.

You can shape it as however you like but here I made oval loops so that it fits the dome arrangement.

When we insert the rattan, we actually introduced lines in the arrangement.

Then, insert the fatsia leaf at the side of the foam.

After that, insert the song leaves at the other side of the foam. Since we inserted the big fatsia leaf at one side, we introduced quite of lot 'green' there. So, the song leaves is best placed opposite the fatsia leaf.

When the leaves are in, take about 6 stalks of barbie pink roses and cut them short.

Insert them near the fatsia leaf using the grouping method.

Now, insert the cream eustoma. The eustoma stems are very fragile so you need to handle them gently.

Insert them near the pink roses.

Now it's time to cover the foam with leaves.

Handy Tip!
To fully utilize the materials, you need not use ferns to cover the foam. You can use the leaves of the red berries.

Cut the berries leaves shortly and insert them into the foam to cover it.

Then, you can insert the berries. Don't insert them near the pink roses because the colours are heavy there.

So now you have an arrangement with beautiful lines, the form is maintained, good colour combination, good texture and good usage of space.

This makes a good flower arrangement.
