As spring reaches its peak, with everything lush and green, have you had the chance to visit the mountains or parks to admire the blooming flowers?
Recently, in Shandong, there was a delightful flower-themed event. The month-long Heze International Peony Festival opened on April 8th. To celebrate, the Jinan Railway Bureau and Heze city launched a special "Peony Line" train. The train is adorned with peony-themed decorations, offers a variety of daily products and cultural items for sale, and even has a themed dining area serving peony tea, peony oil, and other specialty foods for visitors to enjoy. I believe a visit to the peony festival on a sunny weekend is a perfect, romantic choice!

Speaking of flower viewing, it’s often joked online: "At a certain age, the Chinese bloodline for photographing flowers automatically awakens..." But as a young flower enthusiast myself, I’d like to break this stereotype. While our grandparents adore the blooming peonies and chrysanthemums, and our uncles and aunts cherish the potted plants with good meanings, we have our own modern, fresh take on floral aesthetics. In particular, the trendy "LEGO floral art" style perfectly aligns with our aesthetic preferences.

Back in February, inspired by the stunning appearance of lilacs at the Harbin Winter Asian Games, we shared all the LEGO® flower-related sets released so far. Recently, LEGO® officially announced a new set, "10347 Sunshine Bouquet," which will be available on May 1st. The set contains 373 pieces and is priced at 269 RMB. It includes seven types of flowers in soft summer colors: golden bells, bellflowers, ferns, yellow clover, African daisies, peonies, and tulips, which has many LEGO enthusiasts excited.

The speed at which LEGO® releases new floral sets clearly shows that LEGO flower sets have become a popular category. These sets are not only hot among LEGO fans but have also gained attention from those outside the LEGO community who appreciate their beauty.
Thus, I believe "LEGO floral art aesthetics" can be considered a new aesthetic field. So, how beautiful are these LEGO flowers, and how can we use them to create stunning floral designs? Let’s take a closer look!
French Romantic Style: A Favorite for Maximalists
——When LEGO's Powder Pink Bouquet meets the Orchid, the entire vase overflows with the essence of spring.

Flower Arrangement Interpretation:
This LEGO floral arrangement uses the LEGO® 10342 Powder Pink Bouquet set, paired with orchids in the same soft pink color palette, to create a French-style floral aesthetic that is fresh, elegant, and naturally free-spirited.
The orchid branches fan out loosely, and the gradient color of the petals adds depth and dynamism. The combination of the powder pink of the bouquet and the warm orange-yellow highlights the bouquet's saturation, achieving the perfect balance of elegance and richness. This is especially suitable for a sunny spring day.
However, the relatively "calm" vase anchors the overflowing colors of spring, and the spring-themed painting in the background adds a finishing touch. The light blue and green hues complement the vibrant pinks, and the subtle use of purple in the painting echoes the patterns on the vase. This balance ensures the overall style of the bouquet stays true to French elegance rather than becoming overly lively or bright.

Modern Elegance Style: Chinese Minimalism Meets Light Vintage Vibes

Flower Arrangement Interpretation:
This floral arrangement features two LEGO® flower sets: 10342 Powder Pink Bouquet and 40725 Cherry Blossoms. While the sets share similar types of LEGO flower branches, they present vastly different styles. This arrangement leans towards a modern Chinese flower art style with a simple yet elegant atmosphere.
The distinction is clear in the flower selection. The arrangement uses soft pink roses, beige water lilies, and warm orange Persian buttercups from the Powder Pink Bouquet, but only keeps the standout element from the set: the rose pink orchid, giving the bouquet a warmer and calmer tone. The addition of delicate early cherry blossoms from the 40725 Cherry Blossom set enhances the serene feeling. A minimalist white vase accentuates this soft and light atmosphere, creating a tranquil and elegant vibe.

Fun and Dopamine Style: Infuse Life with Creativity and Cuteness
—— With the Little Prince and LEGO roses, under a starry sky, dreams come true.

Flower Arrangement Interpretation:
This LEGO® 10328 Rose Bouquet-based Little Prince-themed creative floral arrangement is a cute and romantic fairy tale fantasy.
The choice of flowers is key to the piece. It uses peacock hydrangeas, fire dragon beads, bamboo grass, and color-changing chrysanthemums. The hydrangeas and chrysanthemums form planets, while bamboo grass and fire dragon beads form star rings. The LEGO roses can be adjusted in number and stem length to suit preferences, creating a "giant" rose under which the Little Prince starts sharing his story with us.
Notably, the uniquely designed vase complements the color of the LEGO roses and fits perfectly into the space theme. The contrast between the real flowers and LEGO roses, combined with the fairy-tale theme and the balance between fantasy and reality, makes this arrangement a unique artistic expression.

Korean Fresh Style: Small Pieces Can Be Fresh and Clean

Flower Arrangement Interpretation:
This refreshing Korean-style desk arrangement uses multiple flower sets, including LEGO® 10328 Rose Bouquet, 10342 Powder Pink Bouquet, 40460 Roses, 40647 Lotus, 40524 Sunflower, and 10313 Blooming Flowers. The chosen flowers are hydrangeas, orchids, and peonies.
Despite the variety of flower types and colors, the key to maintaining harmony lies in the corresponding color scheme design. Each large flower's color corresponds with the LEGO flower's color, such as orchids matching the LEGO rose's pink orchid (10342 Powder Pink Bouquet), peonies complementing the soft pink roses (10342 Powder Pink Bouquet), and lotuses (40647 Lotus). By pairing flowers in lighter shades of the same color family, the arrangement is vibrant yet still embodies the clean and fresh charm of Korean-style floral art.
The arrangement's composition is also distinctly Korean, with a layered, asymmetrical design that gives the bouquet a lively, dynamic feel.

Floral Art Tips for Beginners
l "Less is More" for an Elevated Mood:Choose specific flowers from the set according to your preferred style and adjust their height. Pair them with a vase of the same style to create a refined atmosphere effortlessly.

l Same Color, Same Style "Additive" Formula: If you're unsure about how to pair flower branches, the simplest formula is to stack them: "(Same Color + Same Style) × n." Layer flowers from the same set or combine sets of the same color scheme, and adjust their position to create a harmonious result. This approach requires little effort but delivers great results.
