Sometimes in floral art competition the schedule will stipulate a particular\u00a0style of design but often you will be given just a title or theme.\u00a0 <\/strong>Recently I thought it might be helpful if I charted the process I tend to follow when I am faced with creating an interpretive floral design.<\/strong> How do you go from a theme and\u00a0create a design that can\u00a0‘speak for itself’? How do you make your design stand out from it’s competing entries and evoke the theme for the judge?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Definition of an Interpretative Design is\u00a0 – A design in which components are chosen and placed to evoke a theme, occasion, or atmosphere; not a design style.<\/p>\n

Where do you start\u00a0?<\/h2>\n

For example: You might be given the Theme Title \u201cTwo to Tango\u201d.<\/p>\n
