Wedding Bouquet

Making a bouquet for the bride with your own hands is not so difficult as you might think. If you have a sense of taste and a minimal idea of ​​how to make bouquets, you will surely cope. But first you need to correctly prepare all the plants for the bouquet.

All flowers for the wedding bouquet should befresh. You can not use flowers that begin to wither, otherwise the bouquet will quickly lose its freshness. Also, prepare flowers before using them. For 1-1,5 hours before drawing up the bouquet put the flowers in the water, which will cover them all over the height. This will give the flowers a full nourishment of water,the petals and leaves will look very good. Also trim the stems. It is desirable to prune the stems of flowers in water, so that air bubbles do not block the veins (especially for roses). If you take flowers with soft stems, prune them with a sharp knife. For pruning flowers with solid stems use a pruner. If the flower has a hollow trunk, then cut it on the knot.

Lush wedding bouquet

We suggest you consider two options for making bouquets. For the first option use only flowers. These wedding bouquets are typical for the countries of Europe and the USA. There they make just such wedding bouquets.

So, to make a wedding bouquet yourself, you will need:

• Lush flowers with hard stems, for example, peonies


• pruner


• satin ribbon for bouquet color


• English pins with tips shaped like beads or pearls


• string for bunching


• fabric for decoration

Make a magnificent bouquet of flowers, while Stems of flowers should be placed not parallel to each other, but crosswise. Then your bouquet will be magnificent. When you used all the flowers, tie their stems together, securing the bouquet. Cut the stems to the desired length. Now wrap them in a contrasting color cloth. For example, brown. Wind the stems, turning the bouquet, so that the cups of flowers look down. So it will be much more convenient for you to work. When the stems are wrapped, cut off excess part of the fabric, fasten it with a pin.

Your bouquet is almost ready. Now it's time to add some decor. Again moving from the end of the stems to the cupsflowers, wrap the stems of the bouquet with satin ribbon. To do this, fix the tape 3 cm from the end of the stem. Now, placing the ends of the tape at an angle of 45 °, wind the bottom of the bouquet with a ribbon, simulating lacing. Make a bow on the top. As the ribbon slides, fasten it with pins: insert one pin into the bow. Also, on one pin, insert into the places where the parts of the tape are crossed with each other. Your bouquet is ready. Since the flowers can not last very long, it is recommended to make two identical bouquets. The second will be for photo shoots.

Wedding bouquet on portbuketnitsa

Portuquette makers help to keep the freshness of flowers for a long time, since there is an oasis with water inside. This version of the bouquet is used in our country. Tell you how to make a wedding bouquet with your own hands. You will need:

• portuquette


• oasis


• Natural flowers


• leaves of plants


• lace for decoration


• Double-sided tape


• scissors and secateurs


• decorative pins


• glue gun


• technical wire

Insert a piece of dry oasis into the handle of the portuquette. Put a round oasis in a bowl with water. When the oasis absorbs water, return it to the portbuketnitsu. Top cover, well fixing it with a technical wire. The ends of the wire bite off.

In order to avoid the flow of water from the oasis wrap the top of portuquette with double-sided scotch tape. Also at this stage, the scotch is hidden usingleaves of plants. We recommend using an aspidistra. Its long leaves are well adhered. Now, at the same stage, the handle is decorated with a pinwort pen.

When the decor of the portuquette is finished, you can begin to compose the bouquet. First, make out a cuff of green leaves. You can choose any leaves that you wantlike. When the cuff is ready, fill the portbuketnitsu with flowers (do not forget to cut the stems of flowers to a length of 5-6 cm). Insert flowers in portuquette in a circle. When all the flowers are in their places, you can add a few decorative elements: pearls, crystals, beads.

If your wedding is in winter, then you can choose such a bouquet variant, in which instead of green leaves use a light curtain fabric. Two long thin strips of fabric (15cm) should be collected with a thread and a needle. When the fabric is ready, decorate the portbuketnitsu, as described above. Just do not use the leaves of plants. Instead, start making a bouquet, starting with the central flower, which is then wrapped with a cloth. The fabric is attached to the portuquette with hot glue. Laying the fabric in zigzag, decorate each flower in turn. From the second strip of fabric, decorate the cuff of the bouquet. Done.

Now you know how to make three variants of wedding bouquets by yourself. You can start work.
