Yellow and Lavender Flowers in an Open Headpiece

Floral Design Spotlight · Passionflower Sue

Passionflower Sue's yellow and lavender headpiece draws loose loops in the air. The back view makes it especially easy to follow the curved outline and its open spaces.

Follow the curved paths

Yellow flowers travel upward and outward in long arcs. The design doesn't need a dense center because those repeated curves give the eye a clear route around the piece.

Use a second color sparingly

Small lavender flowers appear between the brighter yellow shapes. Their cooler color adds a gentle interruption, keeping the warm flowers lively without dividing the design into two separate halves.

Keep the center breathable

There is plenty of visible background around the head and between the outer stems. Those empty areas help the separate flower points read clearly and preserve the light feeling of the silhouette.

Try the idea in your own style

On paper, draw two loose arcs around an oval. Add yellow marks along them and a few lavender marks between them. Compare the result with a version where every gap is filled.
