Expert Tips from a How To Choose Right Floral Greens:
1) Contrast
Contrast is about giving your arrangement volume and subtlety. Let’s say, you were working with red roses. The contrast that you will naturally create when you add floral greens are already fantastic but if you truly want your arrangement to stand out, add a selection of floral greens with texture and depth such as ti red, robellini, or accordion palm. These add subtlety and volume.
2) Size
Contrast isn’t the only factor to consider when perfecting an arrangement – size matters too. For example, maybe you want a wildflower bouquet, when you add wispy grasses to your arrangement, you give it a rustic, natural, bold feel. Good floral greens would be Davalia ferns, areca palms, or cordyline tips.
3) Colors

- Here’s an example of how to effectively use 2-3 colors:
⦁ Observe this ⦁ picture – notice how there are only 2-3 colors
⦁ The main color is white, with light green and green as complementing colors
⦁ Even with abundant of floral greens, it never overwhelms but compliments the main color
4) Seasonal
There are certain floral greens that look phenomenal in Summer and some better in Autumn. When you theme your arrangement according to the season, you create an arrangement that is sustainable and affordable for all.
5) Scent
From colors to sizes, to even seasons, you have to also consider scent. This approach not only requires all the previous expert tips but must enhance and center on the scent of your main piece e.g. red roses. Every color, every texture, and every size has got that “bigger than life” quality.
6) Occasion
An occasion can be a holiday, a birthday, an anniversary, or a special day. When you create an arrangement based on an occasion, the floral greens that you use have to match the theme of that occasion. For example, if this occasion is tropical-related then ferns are a good idea but if it’s a Bohemian wedding, use eucalyptus or similar.
7) Mix & Match
Whether it’s for an occasion or seasonal, the ultimate expert tip from the mix and match a wide selection of different shapes, sizes, complimentary colors, and textures all to better center in the theme that you are creating.
