Choosing Complementing Flowers For Some Orchids Arrangements

Orchids arrangements are one of the more popular arrangements ordered from florists all over the world. This fact is probably because orchids are beautiful flowers and come in many different colors, sizes and shapes. The exotic looking orchids' arrangements also catch almost everybody's eye. These are also unique flowers that speak of being almost exclusive and expensive. Let's face it, some people buy things because they cost more and they are exclusive.

Arranging The Orchids

Most orchids arrangements need a vase or a form of floral foam into which the flowers will be stuck to. Floral foam is a very popular choice for many florists because it contains water for the flowers to last a little longer. In most cases, orchids arrangements are usually arranged according to their species. This means that like is usually matched up with like species. Colors may vary but the same species go well together compared to orchids arrangements with different species. In spite of this, there are some more avant garde florists who mix and blend different species of orchids in one orchids arrangement.

There are some flowers (not orchids) that complement orchids arrangements very beautifully. These complementary flowers are sometimes mixed in with the orchids to relieve the monotony and to add a different edge to the arrangement. This is because some people view similar or alike objects as boring. Having two kinds of different flowers species with the same color can be fantastic to behold.

Flowers that complement orchids are baby's breath, gladiolas and even mums. Actually, the compatibility of the orchids and other flower species in the orchids arrangements will depend on how they look together. The more successful kinds of orchids arrangements have the orchids and the other flowers have the same or similar colors.

Greenery can also be added to the orchids arrangements to make these look more vibrant. The many different kinds of ferns as well as many other kinds of leaves can complement orchids. A long time ago, florists usually used ferns as greenery for their arrangement. These days, any kind of leaves or greenery can be added to the arrangement to bring out the color of the flowers.
