The art of flower arrangement of baby's breath

Fashionable and versatile

The leaves of baby's breath are lanceolate in the shape of a star, and the flowers bloom at the tip of each twig, as numerous as stars, and the flower shape is very soft and beautiful. In Western flower arrangement, baby's breath is often regarded as "all-match" because it can be matched with various types of flowers at will. It does not steal the show, but can show its elegance and cuteness at the right time without losing its own style. This trait is unmatched by other flowers! The recognized flower language of baby's breath in the United States is: using red roses with baby's breath to express "a special affection"; using carnations with baby's breath to express "kindness and warmth"; using gladiolus with baby's breath to express "I wish you great success in your ambitions"; using forget-me-nots with baby's breath to express "eternal friendship"... These conventions may not necessarily be in line with the customs of our country and are for reference only.

The profound meaning of red and green

According to the principles of aesthetics, red and green are strong contrasting colors, especially red, which is a stimulating hue, while white is a transitional color and a harmonious hue. The work becomes more layered and profound, fully showing the sense of three-dimensionality, which can play a stronger role in setting off, making the main body and the appendage appear very harmonious and full of charm. The combination of flowers and baby's breath achieves a deep meaning of emptiness in reality and reality in emptiness.

Air dry

The snow-white, fluffy baby's breath flowers are extremely small and light, and are often used as supporting roles in flower arrangement, paired with roses, platycodon grandiflorum, etc. to form a typical bouquet of love. In fact, simply appreciating the baby's breath is also very unique. If you tie them into bunches and put them in a vase as the main flower, you can immediately feel the relaxed and lively atmosphere. After natural air-drying, it can also be made into dried flowers. The whole plant can be dyed and embossed, which has more usage variations.

Selfless bridesmaids flowers

Gypsophila paniculata is generally used as a foil for the main flower and is often called the "bridesmaid flower". With its foil, the main flower becomes more colorful. Just like the supporting characters in a movie, only with the contrast of the supporting characters can the protagonist become more vivid and full. The protagonist and the supporting characters are interdependent and complement each other, so that the theme's ideas can be fully expressed. Using baby's breath as a foil can be used to handle the relationships of lightness and heaviness, density, thickness and thinness, concealment and exposure, pitch and roll, height and distance in the flower arrangement, making the work have depth, the theme more prominent, and fully displaying the sense of three-dimensionality, haziness and fluffiness. For example, simply inserting a few roses can certainly express its beauty, but if you add a bunch of baby's breath, it will have a stronger contrasting effect. The theme and the possessed object are expressed in a very harmonious and integrated manner, with a natural and full-bodied aura, achieving a deep meaning of reality within illusion and illusion within reality. A poet once described this landscape as "Red and green trees in every household, white and green smoke everywhere." As the folk saying goes: "The beauty of the peony flower needs the support of green leaves."
