Lilies, due to the wide variety of colors and shapes of flowers, as well as the ability of cut flowers to keep fresh for a long time, are extremely popular with arrangers and bouquets. Moreover, lilies are harmonious both by themselves and in combination with other flowers.
Instructions
Step 1
Lilies are cut in the phase of loose buds, or when 1-2 buds have opened, if a long transportation is to be done.
Step 2
The bouquet can be composed of one or several varieties of lilies, as well as with the addition of other flowers and plants that are in harmony with each other in color and shape.
Lilies of red, orange and yellow tones are perfectly combined with white jasmine flowers, an openwork cloud of gypsophila, daisies, and are also beautiful with blue and blue irises, delphiniums, bells.
Step 3
In lilies, their leaves are not highly decorative. Therefore, when composing compositions, the leaves of other plants are widely used - asparagus, peony, fern, irises.
When composing a bouquet of lilies, do not use a large number of flowers. Sometimes, just one beautiful inflorescence with the right cut leaf design will look more attractive than a huge bouquet.
Step 4
In order not to get dirty with the bright pollen of the anthers of lilies, it is better to remove them before making a bouquet. Although with their stamen anthers, lilies look smarter.
Step 5
Flowers in a bouquet will last longer if you put them in a clean vase of water and add disinfectant aspirin or pieces of charcoal.
Leaves in the water are best cut off. They can cause decay and damage to flowers.
As they wilt, the lower flowers are cut off. And so that the bouquet does not look sloppy, the stem is cut.
A bouquet standing in a vase should not be kept in the sun, a draft, or near a running fan.
At night, it is better to put the bouquet in a cool place - this will prolong the life of the flowers.
Step 6
Lilies with a strong scent can cause headaches. It is not necessary to leave such a bouquet in the room overnight.
