Flowers, to our collective knowledge, inherently bring sheer pleasure to those who receive them. With a wide array of colours, tones and textures, we are often spoilt for choice. Whilst certain preferences can be bright and bold (subjective), others focus on minimalism, which generally radiates quiet grace and intentional beauty (objective).
If you have a fierce desire to create minimalistic floral art but your technical knowledge is still growing, do not be disheartened- it’s a skill and not a personality flaw! In fact, this is the perfect excuse to embrace your inner florist. We are sharing our hot take on minimalistic floral arrangements on a budget, so that they appear luxurious.
Let’s start off by not overcomplicating things and sticking to the simple and raw beauty of our earth. There is an expansive richness found in the spectrum of browns, oranges and terracotta. When this is paired with neutral creams and beiges and grounded by sage, moss or deep forest greens, a palette that feels both organic and calming is created. Mix burnt orange carnations with dark green eucalyptus and dried sage. White anthuriums against monstera leaves project a foraged feel. Play with bronze chrysanthemums and fern or cream lisianthus and glossy ruscus. The options are endless.
Here, you want to limit flower varieties to a maximum of three kinds. Start with a base of neutral or soft tones and then introduce your pop of colour. Get the ratios correct for full impact. For example, white tulips with dark green foliage and vibrant pink roses or white roses and eucalyptus against single stem blue delphinium.
This philosophy is rooted in minimalistic floral art. Focus on fewer stems, balance, clean lines and neat spacing. Here, we prioritise Focal flowers with little to no filler flowers, essentially a smaller, more compact arrangement that commands attention through its simplicity. Lisianthus with moss, roses with eucalyptus or birds of paradise paired with monstera leaves are examples of designs such as these.
The overall polished and effortless wrapping of the arrangement is as vital as the blooms themselves and pulls everything together, which is a big part of the appeal. The wrapping should not just hold the flowers; it should honour them. Use heavy and weighty brown kraft paper, natural twine and a sprig of dried Lavender or Eucalyptus tucked into the knot or good-quality vellum paper with a thick velvet ribbon. Or go in the traditional route of a ceramic or glass vase.
While we are certainly not disregarding the drama and excitement of a maximalist oversized bouquet, there’s a distinct element of luxe in a smaller, minimalist arrangement, in addition to being more affordable and utterly charming. At Parfumella, we play to our strengths and provide only the most beautiful, uncompromising quality blooms. We ensure that even the most simplest designs feature the most premium and exquisite flowers.
