Is there any metric system to measure elegance?

When creating an arrangement, it's easy to throw around the word "elegant" as if it’s just another descriptor.

But what does elegance truly mean in the context of design?

Elegance is more than a surface-level attribute. It's a subtle, refined quality that emerges when every element is carefully considered and thoughtfully executed.

Knowing what to include and just as importantly, what to leave out.

A tropical theme is often envisioned as untamed and exuberant, mirroring the wild beauty of nature itself.

The greenery, blooms and sprawling foliage can easily lend themselves to a sense of chaotic abundance.

However, the essence of a tropical design doesn't have to be wild to be impactful.

In this edition, let's uncover the commonly executed themes of the tropical, but this time tackled through the lens of elegance.

Since elegance is the objective, techniques play a crucial role in maintaining a balance but still aligns with our aesthetics.

Though lush and abundant but still maintain a sense of balance, for each element complements rather than overwhelms the others.

The backdrop, with its lattice pattern serves as a foundation, allowing the lush to shine without overwhelming the space.

This approach not only retains the essence of the tropics but also redefines it.

No matter how small, it deserves to be treated with care and respect.

Rather than creating a typical flower wall where blooms dominate, the greenery can be showcased to its fullest potential.

Focused on balance and harmony, allows each element to shine.

The tall bridge centrepieces play a role in shaping the ambiance.

Positioned along the long tables, add a layer of sophistication that draws the eye upwards.

On the road to elegance, it must be seen, felt and experienced, not just talked about.

Elegance is more than just a word spoken; it’s a concept that must be crafted and thoughtfully executed, especially when working with themes that traditionally associated with wilderness, like a tropical design.

The research, the selection and the restraint applied in the process matters. As Coco Chanel famously said, “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”
