Understanding Colour Theory in Floral Design

[@lindyartforfun]

This is great! I am a beginner water colour painter and I am working out colour theory for the first time and trying floral painting. KZbin is amazing. Thank you this is very helpful and refreshing!

[@theivyinstitute]

my pleasure & that's great that it has helped you with your water colour painting!

[@swagganation]

This is the best lesson ever that has changed my floral design skills. Thank you so much

[@theivyinstitute]

You are so welcome! & that's great to hear, thank you!

[@kimmy_mac]

Just found this. Love it. I studied art history in high school. Traveled Europe and visited all the galleries. In Paris, decided I wanted to become a florist. Love the colour wheel and am more comfortable working with pastels But can make amazing bright pallets too. 💐

[@maryclebeau]

This is the best explanation of how to arrange your flowers. I took a semester at a community college and I loved it so much. However, the teacher the never mentioned he color wheel to us. I guess it was just the basics. So, I-now understand to arrange by color. Thanks so much 😊

[@theivyinstitute]

Thank you, i'm so glad to hear this. Understanding not just the colour wheel but all of the elements & principles of design is so important as a floral designer.

[@brittany.s_story]

So inspiring! And delivered by a real flower lover! My mind is blown about this colour theory! I never really thought about it but now I see the way flowers can vibe together. Off topic but may I request that you tell us all about the room you are in? The lighting, the decor? It’s just SO DREAMY!!! 🌙🌿🥹

[@suepstock]

Your set design is absolutely gorgeous. Well done. Thank you for all the tips. I'm in the middle of a great life change and decided to really invest myself into my cut flower garden to hopefully sell arrangements along with my produce at the farmers market. You're a huge help!

[@theivyinstitute]

[@dinatheodoropoulos4693]

Incredibly generous of you to create and share this educative resource. This is such a complex subject and I think you’ve done a wonderful job in presenting it in 16 min - love the tip of when to use hot colours and lighter /muted colours.

[@theivyinstitute]

hehe yes i used to teach this subject over a month at a certificate IV level so squeezing the basics in 16 min was a challenge!

[@seastar3909]

[@theivyinstitute]

Thank you, that's lovely of you to say. These are an Australian Native called Flannel Flower, the texture of the petals actually feels soft like flannel fabric.I'm glad you found this tutorial helpful & beautiful to watch.

Hi this video keeps coming up in my feed. I use floral art to help people feel better about their mental health. Please can someone associate feelings and positive emotions to colours of her colour wheel that they have actually experienced customers say workers

[@theivyinstitute]

I used to teach floral design to a group of careers of terminally ill family members & they found it so very helpful for their own well being. colour has a massive effect on emotions, would love to also hear what people have to say about theri own experience, as everyones is different. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@miramagdyfayek4823]

That's so helpful Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ Can i work with you 😂❤️

[@theivyinstitute]

Whats pastel color?

[@theivyinstitute]

pastel colours & the lighter versions of a colour. ie: more white tone is present

[@ritasaragih4268]

Terjemahan utk mengerti

[@tulipo6907]

Florist for 30 years. Color theory is a myth. The color wheel is for decorators NOT florists. We are seasonal floral designer. Exp. Picture a bright blue and yellow are in your home. No. We design spring colors for a spring order. Fall colors for a fall order. We stay in the season. Color wheels put non seasonal blends and you loose. Focus in the design. The split complimentary becomes a confusion No cohesive feel in any interior

[@Cavernvision]

I think it can be fun to use this idea sometimes. I do use it myself at times (mind you, I’ve only been working as a florist for a year, but I do have education and training in other arts where I worked with colour theories and even colour psychology). Though I do go more with a balance of colours and their hues or shades.

[@theivyinstitute]

thanks for sharing your opinion, as you can probable guess I do disagree. As designers i think its imperative we understand the colour wheel in all of it's shades & tones when we design especially for interiors. We may have our favourite harmonies but it's important to expand our knowledge as well as meet a clients brief.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

@@theivyinstitutethank you. I understand where she is coming from, but nature is not influenced by ones preference, one only has to look closely. Seasons melt together and we are drawn slowly, almost magically into the next stage. The artist's looks past the design and uses his brush, shape, stroke of brush to stir the imagination. So it's not only design, but a myriad of personalities. Nature is not stagnant, and neither are we. Love it!

[@BloomingBusinessFlowers]

The best explanation on color theory I have found 🫶🏼

[@theivyinstitute]

That's so great to hear, thank you!

[@majdhennawi7909]

Sorry to say that the bouquet you have done with all these colors is really ugly
