The bouquet for a beautiful bride is ready.

For those brides who want to add some flavor when creating their image, you can make a bouquet in this style. That is, collect it from ribbons and various decorations. It can be ordered in specialty stores, or you can make it right at home.

This technique appeared in Japan. It was used to create flowers that secured hair. And only a few years ago, according to this principle, they began to create bouquets for brides. After all, in the end they look very gentle and harmonious.

First you need to make a base for the bouquet. To do this, you can use hardened polyurethane foam, or simply crumple the newspapers in a circle and wrap them with strong threads, pre-coated with glue.

In order to be able to attach the handle to the base, it is necessary to cut off a small layer of the finished ball with a knife. In its middle, you need to make a hole of 3-5 centimeters. The handle itself can be made from sushi sticks.

They must be placed in the center of the ball, which must first be coated with glue. After the glue has dried, the sticks need to be very tightly wrapped with rope. From above, you need to wrap everything with a rather wide satin tape, while gluing it to the base. The edge of the ribbon can be attached with a beautiful large brooch or bead.

After that, you can start making flowers. To do this, you need to take two types of tapes, which should be of different widths. One should be 60 millimeters in size, the other 20 millimeters. You will also need beads or rhinestones, brooches and linen fabric.

Next, you need to determine how many flowers the bouquet will consist of. Then draw the same number of circles. After that, they need to be carefully cut and rolled into a conical tube. Then each workpiece needs to be stitched.

Next, you need to take a tape, which is narrower, and bending the edge, attach it to the rolled tube so that it does not reach the edge of the workpiece, and sew along the contour. Then you can start forming the petals. They must be applied at right angles and immediately must be sewn on to each. When the first 4 petals are ready, the rest must be sewn at any angle. This must be done to the very edge of the cone, and the end of the tape must be sewn to the workpiece from the wrong side.

To make it, you need to take a tape that will be wider, and then fold it twice, while making a bend up to 4 millimeters. The base must be attached with a pin. After that, you need to take the part of the tape that is bent and start folding the bud at any angle. Then the tape is again taken and rolled up to the end at an angle of 30 degrees. At the end of the work, the entire flower must be stitched from the wrong side.

When all the flowers are ready, you can start assembling the bouquet itself. To do this, you need pins with beads at the end. They need to attach each bud to the base. This should be done so that it turns out beautiful and uniform. After that, it can be additionally decorated with beads, beads or other decorative elements.

Artificial flower bridal bouquets are quite varied. If you look at them, then you may not notice the differences from the real ones.After all, modern technologies make it possible to make them practically "alive".

A bouquet made of satin ribbons will look very beautiful and modern. The combination of different colors allows such a bouquet to be used for weddings in different styles. In addition, such a bouquet will be light, which is very important for the bride. Each flower is decorated with beads of different sizes, which are combined with each other.

You can take ready-made artificial roses. For example, cream and pink flowers look quite harmonious. You can dilute them with twigs of small white flowers. Such a bouquet will only emphasize the tenderness and beauty of the bride.

Having considered all the examples, we can conclude: an artificial bouquet will perfectly replace the real one if necessary and will perfectly complement the bride's outfit. Don't believe in prejudice; choose what you like, not what others advise.
