Decorating to match your mood has been a mainstay part of floral arrangement for centuries. The idea is to use color and fragrance to create unique bouquets and color arrangements that can help convey a “feeling.”
For instance if you want to convey an air of serenity then it is best to stay away from big bright bouquests and instead decorate with large single buds like orchids, calla lilies or a big iris. Just one of these buds in a vase can look very majestic and add a peaceful quality to a room.

If the feeling you want is more cozy and friendly try for a look that is more friendly in nature Little pots of wildflowers such as heather and buttercups also add to the Victorian look. Miniature roses wrapped with shiny ribbon is also very Victorian especially if they are placed in a white or pink ceramic tub. Yet another Victorian touch is to use fake furry bees to hold up plant stems or decorating with small ceramic animals.
If you want a cheerful but relaxed mood then arrange white daisies with bright red tulips and throw in a few dark blue or purple asters to add even more joy and eye appeal to the mix. For a really big cheerful look you might enjoy a cluster of giant sunflowers.
For a soft romantic atmosphere try making a bouquet out of big bunches of peonies or large nodding rose heads. The idea is that the blossoms look as if they are crushed together. It is also okay to have a few of these flower petals on the table in front of th vase. Crystal and light colored vases are the most romantic.
If you are in the mood for love then mix blood red roses with birds of paradise and calla lilies in the bedroom. These are all fragrant. They are very sexual flowers because they resemble human anatomy. Another very sexual flower is the orchid.
If you want to feel alert in a room is your thing then you will enjoy a big pot of peppery Chrysanthemums, a cluster of spicy smelling generaniums or a gorgeous bunch of freesias.
If you want a more new age, natural look try putting flowers together with herbs like rosemary or basil and fill your big pots with pussywillow fronds and tall exotic grasses. The great thing about this herbal bouquet is that it is very useful and you can cook with it too.
