Fresh flowers are a gift appropriate for any occasion. But not everyone can benefit from the experience of a professional florist with good taste, and the services of bouquets are not cheap. Well, if you only have enough opportunities to buy flowers, but not enough to arrange a bouquet with the hands of a pro, you can do it yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the color scheme of the future bouquet. If in doubt, make a composition of inflorescences of the same shade, but with different brightness (for example, pink lilies and slightly more intensely colored orchids). If the bouquet looks boring or not too harmonious, add white flowers to it - they go well with any shades. Avoid excessive "variegation" in the bouquet - this is not pleasing, but tires the eye.
Step 2
Be sure to think over the shape of the future composition: will your bouquet be round, triangular, flat, asymmetrical, multi-tiered?
Step 3
Flowers must be compatible. You should not combine exotic luxurious orchids with naive daisies or buttercups, and exquisite roses with daffodils. Something absurd will turn out. By the way, the daffodil should be added with caution to the flower arrangement, since its presence is the key to the fragility of the bouquet.
Step 4
Do not try to build something grand, a la "a million scarlet roses." A bouquet of a couple of dozen inflorescences is, of course, a wide gesture, but it is unlikely that such a number of plants in one heap will look beautiful. This is not a bouquet, but just a disordered heap of flowers, even if they are gorgeous exotic vandas or pearl white roses.
Step 5
"Dilute" the bouquet with herbs. Even one green herringbone will make your composition complete and luxurious. Do not be afraid to use dry elements - twigs with berries, ears, dried flowers, if the theme of the bouquet allows it. Finally, decorate the resulting composition with ribbons, lace, pearls or even plastic butterflies.
Step 6
The final touch is the packaging, which will add completeness to the composition. We are not talking about a plastic envelope, in which it is customary to place a bouquet for carrying, but about a full-fledged package, which is one piece with the bouquet. There are many options for it: colored rice paper tied with a ribbon, a wicker basket, a piece of beautiful fabric, a "net", a satin ribbon wrapped around long stems of plants, and many other ideas.
