Quick question for AIFD members here

[Rhonda]

Does a "stacked" style design (ala Gregor Lersch) need to be square or rectangular? Am doing my themed design for my mmfd (Maine Master Florist Designer) this weekend and I am intrigued by a design in one of Gregor's books which he calls "stacked" but it is done rectangular. I would like to use colored oasis foam and do it round. Is this proper? Gregor doesn't actually go into the aspect further.
Thanks for any help.

Sure....anyone who has an answer is fine

I think I just found the answer but would appreciate opinions...
stacked design: tiered design in which the components usually diminish in size as thy ascend and in which volume is often segmented into positive and negative space.
hmm wish I could do a sketch

I've never read where stacking couldn't be done in a round form - but - it may have a 'wedding cake' sorta shape.

IMO a rectangular shape can provide more interest to the symmetrical and static feel inherent in the stacked form - which may be why it's often used.

By varying textures and colors, there's no reason you can't go round.
