Two equal sides determine the height of the triangle. This form works well in all orientations from tall and narrow, to low and wide. Regardless of height, the focal point is at the center of the base line. This is an assymmetrical arrangement and works best if the height and focal point are both shifted slightly to the left of center. This design often uses a footed container to emphasize the dropped right hand point of the triangle.
Triangular designs are extremely popular and among the simplest to create.
The shape is determined by the three points of the triangle and, while the entire triangular outline can be filled in with floral material, it is not necessary to do so. The arrangements are usually front-facing, but consideration must be taken for viewing from the sides as well. Some of the more open designs are meant to be seen from all angles, so balance and symmetry must be maintained throughout. To construct a triangular arrangement, begin by establishing the three points of the triangle with line or mass materials anchored in floral foam. This automatically defines the connecting lines.
