Good and bad color combinations

When choosing the color of a birthday flowers bouquet, you should pay attention to the florists' advice:

• You shouldn't choose more than three different flowers (except for bouquets for children).
• The flower arrangement should be diluted with green plants, but you should balance the amount of greenery and buds.
• The bouquet looks brighter if its flowers have different sizes, small and lush buds, different stem heights. But do not overdo it; too much difference in size can look ridiculous.
• You should not combine flowers from exotic countries and wildflowers in one ensemble.
• Unopened buds can be diluted with blossoming flowers. This will make the bouquet look attractive.

Some flowers, when cut, secrete sap, which shortens the lifespan of other flowers. It is necessary to deal with such flowers separately; the stems are cut off and placed in a separate container for several hours.

The most successful gift is a bouquet of your favorite flowers of such a shade that the person being gifted adores, so you should know in advance about the preferences.
