Bridal bouquet by own hands. Manual for the skilled craftsman

Flowers - an indispensable attribute of decorating wedding dresses of the bride and groom. The boutonniere and the bouquet of the bride are always performed in the same style, emphasizing the fact that these two now make up a harmonious pair.

Pre-wedding efforts take a lot of effort, time and, importantly, money. However, if you want, you can minimize costs. For example, a bouquet of a bride with his own hands to build quite easily, and this is from 1500 to 5000 thousand rubles in savings.

Do not worry that your creation will not be as perfect as that of florists. It is unlikely that someone will look at the bouquet of the bride under a microscope. If you think that you lack imagination, take advantage of someone else's idea. It is not necessary to strive for absolute resemblance to the original, most of the details are interchangeable, and if the composition is more concise, there is nothing to worry about either.

So, if you decided to make a bouquet of the bride with your own hands, you will need to familiarize yourself with the basics of floristry. Your main task is to preserve the freshness of flowers for the longest possible time. There are plants that perfectly manage without moisture for several hours in a row: orchids, feces, daisies, camellias, field chamomiles and cornflowers. You can build a composition of them, then your bouquet will not need water. Otherwise it is recommended to use the portquette maker.

Outwardly this device resembles a microphone with a handle, inside of which is hidden a floral sponge. The presence of portuquette will not only preserve the appearance of the wedding bouquet, but also greatly facilitate the process of its creation. If you failed to find this product on sale (I'll be honest, it's not always easy to do), it can be replaced. The role of portuquette will play any hermetic capacity. In times of total deficit in the magazine "Rigas moda" I subtracted the advice of a florist who recommended using a chemical test tube as a water tank . By the way, they have a different volume and diameter. Chemical wares are often sold in medical stores.

In order to create a bouquet of the bride with your own hands, you will need: a sponge and a wire, a cuff, a tap-tape, accessories. All this can be purchased in flower shops and departments selling various small things like braid, ribbons, beads and other things.

Next, you need to determine the shape and size of the bouquet. A small composition looks great in the hands of a slim, miniature bride. For high-growth girls, stylists recommend cascading bouquets. Misters of weighty forms should pay attention to modest compositions of medium or large size.

Just note that some of the bouquets themselves to create you are unlikely to succeed. Unless after the completion of the courses of florists or after long training. Therefore I recommend to stop the choice on classical forms: a sphere and a drop. In the first case, all the plants are cut so that they are about the same size. Begin the composition of the composition from the edges, moving to the center in a spiral. As you know, it is most convenient to do this on the portquette maker.

The composition in the form of a drop is somewhat more complicated and requires a painstaking selection of components. You will need flowers of different "degree of maturity", simply put - blossomed, half-closed and buds. Begin to compose a bouquet from the center, from the largest plant, smoothly passing to smaller sizes. As a result, the resulting shape should resemble an inverted drop.

With the main stages of the process, how to make a bouquet of the bride with your own hands, you are already familiarized. Now let's talk about which flowers to choose for the solemn ceremony of marriage. Traditionally, wedding bouquets were made up of white and pink roses. But today the fashion trends of floristry are so diverse that you can use those plants that you personally like.

However, there are flowers, whose presence in the wedding bouquet is undesirable.
First of all, this refers to the shade - yellow was always considered the color of separation.
Red roses are not given for a wedding, and even more so they are out of place in a bouquet of the bride.
Note that the lilies and lilies of the valley do not get along with any other colors, so if you compose a composition from them, then only in a mono-variant.

The story of how to make a wedding bouquet would be incomplete without mentioning accessories. Naturally, you will choose them according to the general plan. Beads, sequins, ribbons and bows undoubtedly decorate the bouquet, but one should not forget about the sense of proportion too. In this case, the advice of Coco Chanel is quite appropriate: "The thing that most often turns out to be superfluous is the one that catches your eye first."
