Texture can be felt and is seen. When texture is used for a floral arrangement, it can make things appear more interesting. Although people do not literally feel bouquets, when they glance at its texture, a sensory reaction goes off in their head. For example, when people look at white clouds they tend to think of fluffy cotton balls. Clouds are in essence made up of water droplets, but when people glance at them, you think of cotton balls, despite this reality.
Texture can also be seen as being smooth or rough, dull or shiny, fine or coarse. There are a lot of people out there that believe that only rough or coarse texture should be used for arrangements or bouquets in order to create a more dynamic setting. If you opt to use various different textures, one thing that you can be sure of is creating something that is visually interesting.
You can choose to have texture on your flowers, container and foliage.
Containers:
A couple of years ago, shiny and smooth textures were what was used by the rich, and dull and rough textures were what poor people would use. Because of this reality, surfaces that are smooth and shiny, such as glass, silver and brass, are much more elegant and formal, whereas those that are coarse and rough, like terra cotta, baskets and unfinished wood, tend to be casual and informal. Whatever texture you decide to go with for your container, be sure to harmonise it by accompanying it with foliage and flowers. If the container texture fails to blend in with the texture of the flowers, then they will compete with one another which will have a negative effect on the overall design.
Foliage and flowers:
All foliage and flowers have their own textures. Some of them may have significantly more texture than others, while some textures may be more visible on one flower over the others, but all of them have their own texture to some extent. For example, protea is hairy and coarse, roses are velvety and anthurium is shiny.
Flowers that are coarse tend to work very well as focal points in floral arrangements. They also tend to look very good when in monochromatic bouquets. If the bouquet is designed and made in a single colour, then it makes it easier for you to see the texture, because there are no colours competing with one another.
