My Example Of A Horizontal Arrangement

A horizontal arrangement is one of the basic arrangement types. It is a low arrangement and is long horizontally.

It is often used as a table centerpiece. Making one is really easy if you know the basics.

Below is a horizontal arrangement diagram. If you follow the rules of the diagram, you can make your own arrangement.

Here is the measurement guide:
A = height of container + width of container + 1 inch
B = half of A
C = half between A + B
FP = about 10 cm from the top of the foam

Let's put the theory into practice. For this example, I am using white roses, yellow pompoms and purple asters.

I built the skeleton of the arrangement using white roses. When you insert the roses, make sure you remove all the leaves so that it looks clean.

When I've inserted the A, B, C and focal point, I inserted the remaining roses in between them.

Then, I covered the foam using paku leaves.

After I basically covered the foam, I inserted yellow pompoms in between the roses. Some are short and some long, so that it gives depth to the arrangement.

Lastly, I inserted purple asters into the empty spots in the arrangement.

You can create your own horizontal arrangement using the flowers you like. But the basics of this arrangement is always the same.

If you want a horizontal arrangement with more design, you can look at my example of a horizontal interpretive arrangement.
