the art of floristry has experienced many heydays and periods of oblivion, changed at the whim of frivolous fashion, and at the moment we can talk about its growing popularity and demand. not a single celebration is complete without decorating the hall and table, not to mention how many ardent confessions were pronounced in the language of flowers presented in an exquisite composition. it is known that arranging wreaths and flower garlands was highly valued in the distant past, and was practiced by the ancient egyptians, and the very first services of a florist were revered great people on a par with priests. however, during that period of time, decorative flower arrangements were used mainly during religious rituals or sports competitions. the very name of the art is a direct reference to the greek goddess flori, mistress of flowers. the birthplace of the bouquet in the modern sense is france. the first bouquets were made of fragrant, but not bright flowers,

as they were used to scent rooms; bouquets in vases became a common interior decoration in europe from the 15th century. today the bunch is harmonious combination of colors began to be perceived as a gift desired by most women, but the bouquet acquired this status only in the 20th century. to create bouquets , not only flowers are used, but also leaves, roots, seeds, and auxiliary elements such as beads, fabrics, feathers, and designer jewelry. in the hands of a talented florist, these varied fragments turn into genuine works of art. victoria, good afternoon, good afternoon, please tell us what floristry should not be confused with? first of all, floristry is not should be confused with creativity, since we have a lot of artisans who work with their hands and often classify absolutely everything as floristry. in addition, florists should not be confused with gardeners, for example, we have a lot of farmers who grow

flowers, but not everyone knows how to make beautiful harmonious compositions from flowers. where should you start learning this art? florists, like any other profession, have their own terminology, and we definitely study the basics of composition, flowering, flower architecture, we learn how to correctly and competently use plant material in our works. what themes are there in this art? the main floristry that most people are familiar with is commercial floristry, yes, these are bouquets and compositions that we can see in any flower salon and store. we also have a separate direction for wedding floristry, and interior floristry has recently appeared and is gaining momentum, people are increasingly decorating their homes, and office receptions, yes, hotels, we can also highlight creative floristry, creative floristry is already more complex, this composition using

a variety of decorative elements, frames, we can see creative floristry in competitions, for example, and championships, what styles stand out in this art? unlike design, florists have four main styles, this is a decorative style, in 90% of cases this is the work that you see in a flower shop, in addition, we have a form style, this is a style that assumes the presence of some form , a wreath or composition in the shape of a heart, that is, what is made of a homogeneous material and whose shape we recognize. in addition, we have a form-linear style, this is a more complex style, and ikibana can be very roughly included here, yes , here the style already presupposes the presence of some graceful lines of complex forms, and this more complex, vegetative style, it can be called a little philosophical , this is when we try to bring a piece of nature into our work. and what techniques should

a florist master? floristry is a fairly old craft and nothing new has appeared in this art, the most basic, main technique is to be able to compose a bouquet using the spiral technique, and in order for the material to be positioned correctly, it is imperative to study the basics of composition and flowering in order to create harmonious compositions. the industry is developing and floristry is also not lagging behind, tell us about this: the variety of options that are now available in this creative floristry? floristry is developing, like many areas, and we have more and more materials with which we work, new varieties of flowers are being developed, packaging manufacturers are also not asleep, a huge number of baskets, flowerpots, and hat boxes are appearing, and creative floristry is also rapidly developing, more and more often you can see, at various celebrations, the presence of some kind of art objects, with an abundant... presence

of plant material, shows fashion, very often they like to decorate with flowers, also florists’ tools are increasingly new devices, more and more often you can now find, for example, this is a metal base with a large number of needles, which involves abandoning the usual floral sponge, and such an eco-alternative so that you can make a composition without using a sponge, and there is also a huge evolution in the use of flowers directly, before people were familiar, for example, only with roses, chrysanthemums, and gerberas, now a huge amount of exotic things are coming to us , more and more often it... it can be found in commercial works , everyday bouquets, yes, these are strelitzia leaves, for example, or strelitzia flowers, hydrangeas, that is, a huge, huge amount of exotic material, except

moreover, they continue to be bred, crossed, painted, now flowers using paint are still in trend, in addition, now there is a huge trend, if earlier we had some classical terms, classical concepts and principles of composition, now these principles are increasingly are violated, let’s say, yes, and you can see this trend in the works, and dried flowers, dried flowers are also very popular, they continue to be added to bouquets in compositions and to make separate works of dried flowers, there are subtleties in working with dried flowers, they are also a must teach, study and apply, are there any competitions between florists? yes, there are a huge number of competitions held in our country. country, several years ago, we made a lot of efforts to revive this movement, we created a league of florists , the league of florists is a belarusian competition in which florists from all over the country can participate and compete in knowledge of the basic principles, composition, flowering,

also in the past year we became co-organizers of the flower festival, which took place last year and this year year, our team and students decorated the façade of the nesverzh castle using a huge amount of forgivable material, this could be seen, now at the end of the year the finals of this league of florists in 2023 will be held, at the end of november or at the beginning of december, where florists from all over will also come countries. tell us, what is the pinnacle of mastery in this art? this is a very delicate question, since floristry in our country is probably a subjective art, but nevertheless, compliance with all the rules, technical execution of the composition or a bouquet, probably the peak is always a little out of reach, but most florists who work in commercial floristry try to touch it in creative floristry, but the most important thing

is probably not to stop developing. outstanding meats of belarus with shmatvekavoy history. we can obtain abaronial doilitstva from the right-wing architecture. and all for this period of time round velvets are characteristic. they floated to the pharmaceutical economic centers of the country and a zillion extraordinary people. some myastechki, garads, which were previously significant in the boers. in the lunges, when the stone grass was gone for a long time, the pile was destroyed. meaning, this was a spraudnaya revaluation, the chagunka changed navakolle, the cultural-astronomical project of the architecture of belarus, this kascel did not end in the savetsk period, the kali vyalikaya kolkastsya temple stratsіla with vayo pershachatkovaya meaning. everyone remembers the 50s and has such an appreciation

compatibility of plants. important requirements for a performer are the presence of refined taste, a sense of perfect harmony, an unusual view of the world. this is painstaking work that requires thoughtful knowledge from a professional, the basics of geometry and the biological characteristics of each flower. a florist always sensitively guesses the desire and temperament of the person to whom he gives flowers. this activity is for people with well-developed intuition and creative thinking. anastasia, good afternoon, hello. please tell us what requirements should a floral arrangement meet? and like any creative work, it all starts with an idea. that is, first there is a plan, and then you start think about how you will do it. design, that is, you think about how you will do it with what. of course , proportions are taken into account, that is, where your work will stand. in some vase, in some box, that is, or it will just be a bouquet, there must be a focal point, the point

of first glance - this is the brightest place of the bouquet, yes, the bouquet must be either a balanced composition, that is, there must be balance and of course same color, and what does dynamism mean in floristry? well, here we are more likely talking about asymmetry in your bouquet, in your work or composition, this movement, asymmetrical composition is what we work with most often. this is a decorative style, this is what you see in salons, symmetry is more of a formal style, this is mourning floristry, temple floristry, that is, a bouquet should break the distance between people, after all, here we are talking more about the dynamics of symmetry, and how it can be seen or felt, how it is evaluated, for example, at competitions, this is the dynamism of the bouquet, and the movement in the bouquet itself or in the composition is determined by the stem of the plant that you place there, that is, there are... active forms of growth that can emphasize this, and winding forms of growth, that is, you add such a flower to the bouquet; it already has movement,

but is it possible to break the rules in this form of art? and the answer will not be entirely unambiguous, because you can break the rules if you understand what you are doing, that is, if you consciously break the rules, yes, this is not the case when i am an artist, i see it that way and you don’t you understand that you do, you just do it. say that it’s so beautiful, no, that is, if you can do everything correctly, competently, technically, and accordingly, from this correctly, competently built composition, you somehow break the rules, just to draw attention to it , to focus attention on this, then yes, of course, you can violate, just like in fashion in art, yes, when it’s in fashion now, and all sorts of exaggerated shows with which only attract attention to themselves, that’s exceptional because they break the rules, it’s the same here, and what does it mean to speak the language of flowers? is it still popular in the modern

world? well, symbolism at this time is rather expressed more in the color scheme, bouquets in pink colors are given to girls, girls, and the red color is considered a passionate color, yes, if we take for example black color, which was previously considered very mournful, but now notice how trends change, black is considered stylish, some gloomy bouquets are considered. very stylish, so yes, a little symbolism is present, we also still have the soviet union firmly in our heads that a red carnation is either a funeral or may day, and also natalya koroleva made a very bad advertisement with a yellow tulip, singing this beautiful song, now this applies not only to yellow tulips, but and in general, all yellow flowers, that is, many people believe that they are crazy, although from experience i can say that very many... collect bouquets from them, many ladies love yellow flowers, so give the ladies yellow flowers, they

will be delighted. and the questions of life, how to prolong the life of a flower, in fact, everything is very simple, take care of them, select a proportional vase, very often they give bouquets of roses, the rose loves a very large amount of water, make a fresh cut after you brought it home to cut it, using any sharp object, made an even cut , collected more water, please do not put very tall flowers in a small... container, that is , cut them proportionally so that they have enough water to reach the bud, take a lot of cold water, if you bought them in a store, make an even cut and... wash the vase every day and change the water and renew the products will last a very long time, will florists allow artificial intelligence to penetrate this type of art? it seems to us that the profession of an artisan, and we are partly artisans , people who work with their hands are the most protected in this regard, yes, we

can create some kind of references, modboards with the help of artificial intelligence, it is also used for business, but but create all these beautiful bouquets of composition are beyond the power of artificial intelligence, so no, no, it will rather help us, but it will definitely not displace florists, this industry is protected, definitely, anastasia, there are probably generally recognized masters of this art, of course, of course, there are internationally recognized world stars such as gregor lersch, klaus wagener, in russia there are a lot of world champions, such as andrei filonko, leisa anonina, anastasia shakherina, we also have champions in belarus such as laura belobrovik, marina grentsevich, that is, these are not just florists, yes, who collect some kind of bouquets, sell flowers, these are truly international recognized champions, that is, in whom you can and should study, who have elevated floristry simply to an art, to the rank of art. in

earlier times, flower bouquets carried an encrypted message about the feelings of the giver. floreography is a science that reveals the meaning and symbolism of various flowers and plants. simply put, it is the language of flowers, with the help of which ideas, feelings and moods are expressed. coded meanings hidden in various plants that can speak of love and tenderness, sadness and regret, dislike and hatred. in 1810 , french publishers even began producing flower dictionaries. it is also worth noting that among different peoples the same flower can be interpreted differently and the hour can have a radically opposite meaning. in the modern world, people mainly pay attention to the number of flowers in a bouquet and its color. for example, the color blue represents loyalty and devotion, while bouquets of rice symbolize respect, trust and the value of friendship. floristry is an art that helps to create harmonious and magnificent compositions with flowers that can evoke

the most wonderful feelings and inspire actions. as you can see, there is no better designer than nature itself. roses can tell her that you love her, but to prove it you need an orchid. yulia burlo was with you, we are following the cultural path together. see you in a week, see you again.
