Bride bouquet with your own hands. Manual for the skilled craftsman

Flowers - an integral attribute of wedding decorationdresses of the bride and groom. Boutonniere and a bouquet of the bride always perform in the same style, emphasizing the fact that these two now make up a harmonious pair.

Pre-wedding efforts take a lot of energy, timeand, importantly, money. However, if you want, you can minimize costs. For example, a bouquet of the 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 notso perfect, as for 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.

So, if you decide to make a bouquet of your bride yourhands, will have to learn the basics of floristry. Your main task is to preserve the freshness of the 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 withThe handle inside which the floristic sponge is hidden. The presence of the portuquette will not only preserve the appearance of the wedding bouquet, but also greatly facilitate the process of its creation. If you could not find this product on sale (I'll be honest, it's not always easy to do), it can be replaced. The role of the portuquette will be played by 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. Chemicals are often sold in medical stores.

In order to create a bouquet of the bridehands, 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 trifles like braids, ribbons, beads and other things.

Further it is necessary to determine the form uthe 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. Girls of weighty forms should pay attention to modest compositions of medium or large size.

Just note that some of the bouquets themselvescreate you are unlikely to succeed. Unless at the end of the courses of florists or after long trainings. Therefore I recommend to stop the choice on classical forms: a sphere and a drop. In the first case, all the plants are cut in such a way that they are approximately the same size. Begin the composition of the composition from the edges, moving to the center in a spiral. As you understand, it is most convenient to do this on the portquette maker.

The composition in the form of a drop is performed several timesIt is more difficult 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 bouquetbrides with their own hands, you have already read. 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, it concerns the shade - yellow was always considered the color of separation.
Red roses are not given for the wedding, and even more so they are out of place in the bouquet of the bride.
Note that lilies and lilies 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 waswould be incomplete without mentioning accessories. Naturally, you will select 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."
