Circular Arrangements

Circular Arrangements

• Mass designs are one of the

more popular styles of arrangements

• Consist of many flowers

arranged in a geometric pattern

Circular Arrangements

• Creativity of the designer is

expressed by varying the size of the arrangement, the compactness of the design and the amount of depth of the arrangement

Circular Arrangements

• Mass designs are based on either the triangle or the circle
• Four variations of the circle include mounds, cones, ovals, and fans

Circular Mound Design

• Mound design, also called the nosegay arrangement is designed to be viewed from all sides.
• Mound Arrangements do not have a focal point

Circular Mound Design

• Stems appear to radiate from

one point with the mound forming a sphere

• A line drawn across the top of

the design forms a half circle

Circular Mound Design

• Space between flowers is equal throughout the design.
• Usually arranged in low round containers. If the container is taller that it is wide, an oval design would be more appropriate

Circular Mound Design

• Flowers should be evenly distributed over the design
• Only mass, filler, and sometimes form flowers should be used. Line flowers are never used- they will give the arrangement a spiked appearance. Docsity.com
