Disclaimer: I am not trained in the actual art of ikebana, nor am I anywhere close to an expert other than reading articles and researching as fast as I can, so just bear with me if you are more knowledgeable than me. On that note, owl me if you have suggestions!
With coding help from the wonderful @Pamela Graham, here's her shop!

I will be following the Jiyu-Bana Ikebana style, also known as 'you-do-you,' or more accurately, 'I-do-me' because I am the one that is doing the doing. :D I will also be following the standard three-element arrangement, with Shin, Soe, and Hikae. This means there is a long element, a medium element, and a short element. (flowers and other plants). If you're actually interested, Shin is the tallest, Soe is two-thirds the height of Shin, and Hikae is half the height of Soe.
One of these will be one of four seasonal flowers: cherry blossoms in spring, sunflowers in summer, chrysanthemums in the fall(yes I did memorize how to spell that, yay), and pine branches in the winter. Another one can be something you pick(or I can do that for you), and the third will be whatever I think fits best in the arrangement(via the aesthetic of both the arrangement and your character). Of course, not all of them have to be flowers! There are also branches and vine-thingies you can choose!

The actual work that I am doing is selecting the plants, using my brain cells, then finding pictures of the chosen flowers and arranging them into an actual ikebana arrangement, and finally posting the image. You can use it wherever you want, or just as a fun thing that you'll never use that just sits in your image bank forever. I don't require credit, as long as you don't claim it as yours :3

Referring back to the seasonal flower thing that I mentioned before, if you don't want the current season's flower in your arrangement, you can specify so in your order form and I can just choose another, unique one! Flower meanings will be assigned by its meaning in Japanese because yes. Also, the 'bowl' is the low flowerpot thing that the arrangement stands in, also known as suiban. (Want a specific height? Just leave it in the notes.) Changing the colors of flowers usually changes the meaning, so I'll try to find the best option that matches in both color and meaning. If you have any questions, owl me!

Certain color palettes are extremely hard to fulfill. There are not many natural flowers of certain colors, like black, grey, and green. However, I can find green plants that are not flowers, and/or flowers that have lots of green leaves/stems.

By the way, I'll be classifying the seasons thus, because that is how it is at Hogwarts and in Japan:

Winter - December, January, February
Spring - March, April, May
Summer - June, July, August
Fall - September, October, November

Price: 15 Sickles or 435 Potato Peelings (I still don't understand economics here, help)
Time to Complete: Usually 2-7 days! Of course, it varies depending on my own life, and how hard it is for me to actually find a good picture of certain plants. If you order while closed, well... don't. Please.
And finally, if you understood none of this, I am sorry for my terrible explanation skills, and you can read this article here if you wish to do so. Although, it is basically just more paragraphs...
Anyways! Off to the actual shop stuff!
