Flower arranging is the art of creating visually appealing displays using fresh or dried flowers, foliage, and other natural materials. This practice involves selecting flowers based on color, shape, and size, and then arranging them in a way that highlights their beauty. Common techniques include using floral foam, wire, and tape to secure the arrangement and ensure stability. Different styles of flower arranging exist, such as Ikebana, the traditional Japanese method that emphasizes simplicity and balance, and Western styles that often focus on abundance and variety. Flower arrangements are commonly used for decorations at events like weddings, parties, and holidays, enhancing the atmosphere with natural beauty.
