Instructions
Step 1
Take a flower in your left hand, which will become the center of the composition. Begin to apply other flowers to it, placing them slightly obliquely so that the stems touch only at the point of attachment. Take your time and change the color arrangement if necessary. During the assembly process, add greens to the bouquet - salal branches, gypsophila, fern. Estimate the underside of the bouquet - when properly assembled, the ends of the stems form a circle. Secure the bouquet by tightly wrapping tape around the junction of the stems. Cut the ends of the flowers to the same length. From above, the tape can be masked with a decorative tape to match the greenery or contrasting.
Step 2
The bouquet-flower bed in the Biedermeier style also looks very original. It is collected from small flowers, supplemented with greenery and always framed with gathered ribbons or lace. Such a bouquet should not be made too large. Before assembling, carefully consider the composition - the Biedermeier style implies a bouquet pattern in the form of circles. Collect the first part of the flowers (center of the bouquet) and secure them with tape. Place the next row of colors in a different tone around the circle and wrap them with duct tape. So gradually lay out the entire pattern, firmly fixing each row. Lay out a row of decorative greenery last: calla leaves, asparagus, hogweed. Wrap the bouquet with decorative mesh, tulle, cellophane or lace, creating a spectacular frame.
Step 3
The only drawback of round bouquets of whole flowers is their heaviness. When creating a composition, estimate its weight. The bouquet can be lightened by voluminous greenery or ornamental plants like gypsophila. The missing volume can be added with a fluffy frame made of mesh or sheer fabric.
Step 4
Another popular option is to create a bouquet on a floral sponge. This technique is used when assembling wedding bouquets. The sponge soaked in water prolongs the life of the flowers and significantly lightens the weight of the bouquet. Use a round sponge of the correct size. Place it in a container of water, wait until the sponge is saturated with water and sinks to the bottom of the container. Take it out and start creating the bouquet.
Step 5
Use pruning shears to trim the flowers to the desired length and prick them on a sponge according to the idea of / u200b / u200bthe composition. Small inflorescences look more impressive - miniature roses, orchids, carnations, chrysanthemums and gerberas. You can fold a bouquet of flowers of the same color or assemble a variegated composition. Add greens, berry twigs, and even artificial flowers. Decorate the bouquet with tulle or floral mesh, carefully masking the base of the sponge.
