Monochromatic flower arrangements sound more intimidating than they actually are. Generally they’re done in various shades of the same color, with a mix of different flower shapes and sizes. Depending on the vase you use and the area you choose to display them, monochromatic combos can feel modern or eclectic, formal or casual.          

Adding traditional arrangements to a contemporary room creates a nice juxtaposition that prevents the mood from feeling too sterile or staged.   Placing fluffy, soft colored flowers on top of a more pronounced tray table looks inherently more glamorous than say, a plant with crisp lines and dark coloring.
