What is the 3:5:8 rule for flowers?
The 3:5-8 rule in floristry is a guideline that helps create balanced and visually appealing floral arrangements. It suggests using three types of focal flowers, five stems of greenery, and eight stems of filler flowers. Focal flowers are the stars of your arrangement. The 3-5-8 rule (it’s related to the Fibonacci sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones… aka math) recommends using a specific ratio of flowers and greenery in an arrangement to help achieve a balanced and harmonious look.Proportion and scale ensure that all elements of your arrangement are in harmony with each other. The flowers, greenery, and container should complement each other in terms of size and height. This creates a cohesive and balanced look that is pleasing to the eye.
