Understanding Colour Theory in Floral Design

Would you like to understand Colour and use Colour in design with more confidence?
In this Design Tutorial you will learn the main 5 Colour Harmonies [the colour rules essentially]
Monochromatic
Analogous
Complimentary
Split complimentary
Triadic
Tones, shades & neutrals
as I create simple bouquets to demonstrate these harmonies using fresh flowers.
Colour theory is one of the most important Elements of design & I think it's so important as a designer to fully understand and appreciate colour within nature and have an understanding of how to use colour in line with the Design Principles.
As floral designers we are in the unique situation as the medium we use is created by nature not man made so the colours have variations & nuances in tones & shades so the more you understand colour the more confident you'll become & more brave you'll be.
Within my Greenhouse Membership our members also have access to a comprehensive downloadable resource to support their learning. You can find out more about The Greenhouse here www.theivyinstitute.com.au/gr...
Or you can email Nadine nadine@theivyinstitute or connect with me on @the_ivyinstitute on instagram.

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!

[@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.

Goodness! Your color choices are exquisite as well as your flower choices. I love the movement of these flowers. Can you share the name of the white flowers with the long stems shown in your first arrangement? Thank you ~

[@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.

[@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.
