Floral Inspiration :: Singularity

April 24, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Singularity. 

the use of one single bloom, one single color, to create one singular seasonal floral story. 

at least that is what I’d like to call it. when describing anything as singular, well I’d say that is quiet the compliment. 

to describe one as singularly anything …

Singularity :: noun ; .. The state of being singular, distinct, peculiar, uncommon or unusual. The singularity of something is a quality that’s unusual or unique. Of one singular element. 

to me, that is singularly, special. 

Perhaps when searching for ideas or creatively speaking, one would revert to calling singular floral designs that as monochromatic, dare I say monotone…(but mo.no.tone they are not)

I’d much prefer to call this approach to flower arranging as creating and playing with the idea of singularity ….. fine, how does the art of monochromatic singular floral arranging sound…

The focus on one color and shape, the same exact flower repeating itself. This time of year flowers often bloom a plenty, but their peak beauty is also for such a short time. A singular, or monochromatic, floral design is a technique that many of us unknowingly style with naturally, as the bundles of these seasonal blooms are easily at our disposable. 

If we are getting technical, Monochromatic color schemes evolve from a single base hue, of which then extend into either lighter or darker shades and tones of that singular hue — but when gardens and flowering branches are all in full bloom {also technically speaking, too soon for some, too hot for others…} — we are often left with many stems of the same flower, nature’s monochromatic bundles meant to bring joy. 

I‘m challenging myself to take the common early spring garden flower, often overlooked as anything other than “fine art florals” … but that pushback and challenge is where beauty emerges. From mixing these vibrant hued flowers with textured stems I love so, the easiest way we can all make these short lived statement flowers even brighter this season is a simple, and yes I truly mean simple, to put together floral modern minimalist arrangement. I’m making these singular spring blooms fine art, and so can you. Monochromatic singular floral designs easily blur between vintage and modern chic, perfect for any design aesthetic and creative interpretation. 

I think Spring is a great time to create and experiment with monochromatic floral arranging, as it’s a time when most of our gardens are at their best. When we have many of the same singular flower, in most likely the same color. When gathered and grouped together, yes it may seem too minimalistic but ultimately creates a lush vibrant arrangement. 

The vessel you use can do a lot to tell the floral story of your monochromatic arrangement. I will admit the first piece I naturally grab, for my spring flowers is a classic ceramic white pitcher. A classic no matter how you approach its design; it has withstood time to still work its magic in capturing the delight, that is the blooming seasons of Mother Nature. They are beautiful whether the edges are etched with curves or kept sleek and modern — always beautifully sturdy for arranging with those pretty tulips, joyful sunflowers and statement flowering branches we love so much. 

Whichever the container one uses remember that movement and height are key for a monochromatic floral arrangement to really catch the eye … and well, simply not fall flat, as sometimes rounder shaped singular centerpieces can easily do. 

The same way you create texture, depth and shape when working with several different flowers, you would do the same but with the singular bloom. Using your vessel of choice and those same floral arranging techniques like adding slight height to one side, or using smaller buds to draw the eye close while the larger beautiful painting-like blooms stand out on their own — you can easily create a modern and beautifully captivating floral arrangement. A pedestal vase is certainly one of my favorites for making this floral design stand out and ultimately give that romantic Spring fine art feeling I love. 

However you decide to style and decorate with your flowers this spring season, try experimenting with a singular monochromatic design. A lovely, simplistic and calming moment that will surely spark endless creativity in our blooming souls …..

I love a good photographic memory, like these bloo I love a good photographic memory, like these blooming Jacarandas along as ruas de Lisboa. One of the many things that makes Lisboa one of my favorites. I might not see the bloom this season, but my soul delights in the wonder that it’ll soon be wandering amongst the invigorating & creative streets that inspire so. 

I hope this unofficial start of summer brings a little time to relax & soak up the sun, or enjoy whatever it is you’re up to💛🌿

One can turn just about anything into a vessel for One can turn just about anything into a vessel for flowers; a bowl, a sake glass, an ash tray, even a tiny vintage jewelry box...the trick is to use a florist's versatile best friend, a flower frog. In many different sizes, simply attached w. floral tack clay, all that's left to do is to allow your creativity to flow🌿

No, these tiny vessels won't last long, nor will Clematis flowers linger for days once cut & yet it doesn't make these treasures any less beautiful or these flowers from being one of my favorite things to look forward to each Spring. Even if for a brief moment, one gone as quickly as it came...these floral beauties are forever cherished. It's in the act of giving them a new life that is the most rewarding. 

These moments are just another reminder of how much Mother Nature parallels life & teaches us every day. Often our most beloved moments, the simple blissful ones, are often always the most fleeting. It doesn't make us love them any less, in fact it only allows us to appreciate them even more. 

Pick the flower, savor that grounding moment of beauty...even if it quickly wilts the next day🤍

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
