Round Arrangement

Design notes

This arrangement represents my exploration of the classic round floral form while experimenting with a dark, romantic color palette inspired by the imagined library of Blackwood Manor. Using deep red roses, purple anemones, burgundy chrysanthemums, and eucalyptus, I focused on creating harmony, balance, and a cohesive color story. Although maintaining a perfectly symmetrical dome proved challenging, this project strengthened my understanding of proportion, stem placement, and the importance of building a clean silhouette from every viewing angle. It marks an important step in developing both my technical skills and my personal design style. Update: finally fixed the bouquet and achieved the dome effect. See pictures.
