EURO GARDEN ARRANGEMENTS
The most popular of these flower design styles is the Euro Garden. Typically placed in a traditional glass vase, this design style offers volume and variety of flower types.

DUTCH FLEMISH FLOWER ARRANGEMENT STYLES
Based off the Old Master Style of Dutch Painters from the 1600s. These pieces are large, one-sided versions of the English Garden style, but with more emphasis on the dutch flowers, such as hydrangeas and tulips.
These pieces are done in ornate containers (baroque…elaborate like a gold container or an urn with many details). This is a piece that goes well when placed against a wall as a background…since it is one-sided. It is a colorful piece, with many flower types.
Note: Typically starts at $100+

ENGLISH GARDEN FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS
A mixed assortment of flowers of various sizes and shapes, with emphasis on linear flowers, such as delphenium, stock & larkspur….common to English gardens.
Due to the combination of linear and round flowers, this style is UNSTRUCTURED, wild and filled with movement. Flowers are light and airy…plumosa and ivy are great greens to use for this piece. Typically colorful. Hard to do with a monochromatic palate, but can do wit analogous color palate.
Analogous - similar color tones that create harmony when used together…like a pastel of pinks, lavenders and some crèmes.
