Concept
Contrast in Floral Design
The deliberate juxtaposition of differing elements to create visual interest, emphasise difference, and attract and hold the eye.
“Contrasting material should remain related to what it contrasts with - or unity will be lost. Contrast without relatedness produces fragmentation.”
Contrast involves carefully planning and choosing elements to avoid monotony. Elements are chosen and positioned to emphasise differences in their properties - the differences attract the eye. Contrast is usually achieved through variety in colours, forms, textures, and lines. A crucial qualification: contrasting material should remain related to what it contrasts with, or unity will be lost. Bold contrasts can be very effective but require careful planning.
