Flower Arrangement Themes

Most flower arranging competitions are divided into Classes that
usually separate one type of flower or vegetable from another.
Classes are usually divided into Single Entry meaning just one
or two flowers in a vase or Arrangements which are groups of
artistically placed blooms and foliage in a container.
Arrangements usually have a Theme which means "an implied
or suggested idea".
For example: The theme is "April in Paris".
You are free to interpret it however you like but if you need a
little help there are lots ways to find ideas:
Look up the meaning of each word in the dictionary.
Is there a song, book or movie that uses the theme word or words
in its title?
Even the date a song, book or movie was written might help you
choose a style or the accessories for your arrangement.
You might even associate a particular colour or flower with the
theme from something you remember.
It could remind you of a place, a time in history, an animal, an
piece of art, patterns, a season, a holiday or almost anything
else.
'Surf the net' for ideas and inspiration or look through some
magazines until you have an idea of what you want to create.
Don't forget to review the Show Rules and Regulations before you
finalize you're idea.
If you have any questions, contact the show's organizers or
judges to clarify anything you are unsure about.
