Today, florists in Japan also sell pre-arranged or done-while-you-wait [[ikebana]]. Ikebana is a style of [[floral design]] that originated in Japan. Best known for its simplicity of line and form, ikebana is a design style primarily practiced for personal enjoyment. It has three parts of alignment: heaven, man, and earth.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/t-magazine/ikebana-japanese-flower-art.html|title=The Rise of Modern Ikebana|last=Needleman|first=Deborah|date=2017-11-06|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-03-11|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=8 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108204604/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/t-magazine/ikebana-japanese-flower-art.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===English Garden===
English Garden style is traditionally an [[England|English]] form of floral design. Stems are placed in a radial fashion and feature abundant use of seasonal flowers and foliages. These designs are often done as low, tufted mounds, or taller vase arrangements that are all-sided (360°), and incorporate garden flowers like [[rose]]s, [[gardenia]], [[camellia]], [[delphinium]] and [[peony|peonies]]. The flowers are usually arranged with minimal space between the blooms and foliage is used to accent the flowers as these are the main feature.{{clarify|date=November 2010}}<!-- is the last plant Prunus laurocerasus? - does anyone use Chamaedaphne? -->

===Modern/European Style===
Modern/European Style floristry involves contemporary, linear designs that highlight unique forms of both individual floral materials and of the designs themselves. Arrangements generally feature negative space and incorporate asymmetric placement of materials. The style stands in direct contrast to traditional radial arrangements such as English Garden. Modern designs are identified by their play on the space used between each bloom, which is often dramatic, and the play on the use of color and different textures, which can be quite experimental.

Modern/European Style designs often incorporate unique, exotic or tropical flowers such as [[Strelitzia|bird of paradise]], [[orchids]], ''[[Anthurium]]'', and ''[[Protea]]'' of the Caribbean and other exotic locals, but may also employ more common blossoms, such as Roses, Gerberas and lilies.

===Contemporary/Dutch Style===
Contemporary/Dutch Style designs also involve contemporary and linear designs. The Dutch designs use a lot of different kinds of greens are used in a natural way. The "Dutch Garden" style arrangement—started in the early 1980s—is a very good example of a Dutch style arrangement. Stones, bark and [[moss]]es are used in these designs.

===Australian Style===
Australian floral style is a harmonious blend of nature's raw beauty and artistic expression. Drawing inspiration from the country's diverse landscapes and native flora, this style encapsulates the essence of the land Down Under. With a focus on native flowers like banksias, eucalyptus, and Waratahs, Australian floral arrangements exude a distinctive rustic charm.
