The term basic form in floristry refers to the shape of flowers and plants of all kinds, which plays an essential role in the individual composition of bouquets, wreaths or arrangements and incorporates basic criteria of aesthetics. Basically, modern floristry distinguishes between three basic forms: the rectangular shape, the triangular shape and the circle. In this case, not only do plants take on one of these basic forms due to their external shape and their symmetrical growth, which are complemented to one another in a targeted manner or summarized as a counterpoint in containers and bunches of all kinds. The choice of the right planter or the arrangement of flowerbeds and fields also plays a decisive role in the basic shape, which, depending on the species, has an aesthetically different effect and can thus express artistic preferences. Which basic form is to be chosen individually depends on the spatial possibilities that you would like to provide flowers and other plants in a garden or your own home. Other cultures create other basic forms in their design, for example, the Japanese Ikebana oriented less to the basic geometrical shapes of Europe and expresses by a particular arrangement of the plants also symbolic values of human life.
