FLORAL DESIGN CLASSES 2024
Classes 1-3 may be done in any style.
1. Vase containing lilies as the only flower(s), and foliage if desired. The vessel height can range from 20-30 cm (8-12″) tall with a mouth 8-15 cm (3-6″) wide. The vessel is clear and untinted, such as glass or plastic/acrylic.
2. Basket containing lilies. The Basket may be made of any material but must have a fixed handle visible and the design may be viewed from all around.
3. Bowl A bowl is any vessel with a mouth that is as wide or wider than its height, regardless of its shape.
Creative Arrangements 2024:
Theme: SHARP-DRESSED MAN inspired by the 1983 song by ZZ Top.
In Classes 4-9, accessories are allowed. Lilies must be the dominant flower featured in the designs. Designs can be done in the traditional style or modern creative style of design unless the style is specified.
4. Silk Suit – A dichromatic, vertical line design. Formal. Classy. Clean. Uses two colors only, including the vessel. Each color can vary in intensity (as if white or black has been added to it), but not in hue (as if another color has been added to it). For example, if silver-green is chosen, all greens should be some form of silver-green, not true greens, or yellow-greens. Everything in the design should fall within the two chosen colors. Note: this is not a mass design.
5. Bow Tie – A horizontal design. The predominant line of the design travels back & forth across the arrangement.
6. White Shirt – A panel design. A vertical panel (or more) forms an integral part of the design. The panel can be supported or suspended, solid or airier.
7. New Shoes – A creative design using wood in its natural form as a vessel or vessels or to completely camouflage it/them: stump, log, branch, bark, twigs, stalks and/or cones. Your lilies should rise out of the wood.
8. Diamond Ring – A reflective design. Uses materials that reflect light or images throughout the design & are an integral part of it. Since lilies aren’t reflective, you will need to accessorize them with other materials (plant or otherwise) that are. Please review rule #7.
9. Junior – designer’s choice. Class 9 is restricted to youth 16 & under. Youth may enter any other class.
