Florist Terminology

A breakdown of florist terminology to help you decide on the perfect arrangement.


ARRANGEMENT
A flower arrangement is a group of flowers designed into a container, which may be displayed in; a vase, box, ceramic, basket or container. 

BOUQUET
A bouquet is a group of flowers selected and arranged into a design or style with or without foliage. These flowers are usually shaped into a design, bound together and wrapped in decorative paper.

ROUND ARRANGEMENT
This arrangement is designed to be seen from all sides and is therefore ideal for a table or a room centerpiece.

FLATBACK ARRANGEMENT 
This is designed to be seen only from the front and perhaps on the sides. Great for displaying up against a wall or flat background.
