Hogarth Curve

Hogarth Curve

With a combination of killer colors and appealing curves, this design will receive endless compliments and requests from potential customers. From all the arrangements forms, this design is the only one named for a person rather than a geometric shape, the English artist William Hogarth (1697 – 1764).  He theorized that all beauty was based on the serpentine S-line. Hogarth floral arrangements display a sophisticated asymmetrical appearance and have a downward sweeping curve that extends below the container rim, they must be constructed, important, in a tall vase often called ‘compote vase’.

 Details

To start, first add floral foam to your container and green down with foliage to cover the container. Here we used moss and secured it with wire pins.Start by creating your line, or in this case, curve. I used to branches of heather for the base of my curve. These stems may need some coaxing to bend in the correct way. Simply run your hand down the stem slowly, warming them up and shaping them they way that you need. To add to the curve I used ornamental peppers wire and wrapped. Next, at your focal flower. I used a bright yellow gerber daisy. This should go in the center of the design. From there, add more color (such as the roses that I used at the bottom) and more filler. You may want to add foliage behind your focal flower as well.

Critique

I absolutely love the way this design turned out. The complementary colors really make this arrangement pop. I like the contrast of the red rose with the yellow daisy, but I can see how they are compete for the "spot light" a bit. A smaller flower would have worked better in place of the rose.
