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 …..

Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday.. Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday...did you know many of our Christmas decor & traditions are directly from Queen Victoria's reign. A maximalist aesthetic rich in jewel tones that incorporated many elements already on hand & found in nature🎄🎀

What are the key design elements of a Victorian inspired Christmas.... 

- Christmas Trees. Prince Albert popularized it from his childhood in Germany. These trees were adorned w. candles, sweets, fruits, small gifts & handmade paper chains
- Ribbons!! There's a reason ribbons were a popular for the holidays, they were affordable & easily made from fabric remnants. They’re a Victorian signature
- Fresh Greenery. Beautiful mantels & bookshelves lined w. fragrant evergreens come from a time where embracing seasonal nature was the norm
- Candles! There’s nothing more magical than the flicker of candlelight. Original trees were decorated w. real candles. Thankfully we can now use electric candles to adorn ours
- Indoor decorations. Holiday home decor we love was almost all handmade! I think it's why so many are drawn to this aesthetic. Greens tied w. ribbons, mistletoe balls & wreaths hung, paper decor all carefully made
- Stockings were popularized, but mostly kept simple w. embroidered names
- Simple Intentional Gifts. Christmas wasn't for elaborate gifts, it was a time to gift fruits, nuts, sweets & small handmade trinkets. Games, dolls, books, apples, oranges & nuts were most popular
- Decorative Food, for eating & decorating. Oranges adorned w. ribbons & whole cloves became beautifully popular pomanders.  Christmas fruit cake, mulled wine, sugar plums -- all Victorian staples still adorning our tables & comforting our souls
- Christmas Cards. Christmas Crackers. Handblown Glass Ornaments...all holiday traditions we still take part in, all from a time long ago

❌DONTS for a Victorian Christmas....
- Colorful Lights 
- Snowflakes
- Jolly Santa...Victorian Christmases depict a less merry, slenderer St. Nicholas in a long robe often in white, green or blue✨
Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabr Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabric ribbon delicately tied that I haven’t been smitten with. And yes, bows are everywhere. Last year’s holiday table was a gathering of cherished family heirlooms, timeless design details that have forever imprinted in our present, the invigorating calm scents & textures of the winter season that set the scene for simple magic✨🎁

A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a t A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a touch old world....the itch for a Victorian inspired holiday table was already blooming last year🎀

Despite what social media & what others may pressure you into believing, you do not need to buy new holiday decor. Bring out the fancy stuff, make something handmade & heartfelt. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in the things we already have, making new traditions with the old, creating simple but immensely special details that become cherished memories❄️
