DIY bridal bouquet: traditional and original options

A wedding bouquet is one of the main attributes of a festive event. It can be made not only from natural or artificial flowers, now beads, money and other materials at hand are used to create bouquets.

To make yourself an amazingly beautiful wedding bouquet of spray roses, chrysanthemums, callas, hydrangeas, lilies or peonies, you need to familiarize yourself with a special technique. Each such attribute is individual for the bride, it can be in the form of a ball and simply tied with a ribbon. Autumn bouquets are full of bright colors, most often plants are used in them, the flowers of which are bright yellow, orange, deep red.

If no additional options are used, and the buds are on their stems, then it is best to keep the bouquet in water so that it is better saturated with moisture and does not wilted. The main disadvantage of such a composition is that it is impossible to create a complex structure., since the leg is very large, and the flowers cannot be bent. Helps to bend the stems and turn them in the required direction wire, which is inserted into the stem or attached to it. Thanks to this technique, the composition turns out to be original and rather complicated to please the bride.

After the drawing of the future bouquet has been created, the stems of each flower must be cut to the specified length. They are fixed on a wire and covered with floral tape. Such compositions are called taped.The main advantage of the technique is that you can create any design of any complexity, but there is no necessary nutrition for flowers. Such an accessory cannot maintain its attractive appearance for a long time.

The glue technique is often used, when different parts of the plant are simply attached to the base. You can collect such a bouquet in an hour, but it will wither very quickly. If you plan to use the bouquet only at the end of the evening, it is better to use the frame technique, when cones with water are present on the stems, due to which the plants feed on moisture and retain their attractive appearance for a long time. True, such bouquets always turn out to be very large and heavy.

One of the most popular flowers in wedding paraphernalia is a rose. If you use small-sized flowers, then such a bouquet will suit any bride, as it emphasizes her fragility and femininity. It is advised to collect the composition a few hours before the celebration. To compose a bouquet yourself you will need:

• flowers;
• floristic and satin ribbon;
• twigs;
• pins.

Leaves and thorns are completely removed from roses, the length of the stem is shortened to thirty centimeters. Four flowers will be the center of the composition, they must be tied with a floral ribbon from the bottom of the stems at a distance of ten centimeters. Each new rose that is added to the bouquet is fixed with a tape. A round shape can be achieved if the subsequent roses that are attached around the base are placed slightly lower.

If you feel like it, you can add a few twigs as an extra decoration. After the completion of the composition, the bottom is trimmed, all the stems are wrapped with a satin ribbon, which is fixed with pins. Ball-shaped compositions are very popular. To keep the flowers a little longer, you can make a bouquet with a port-bouquet.

• double sided tape;
• sponge;
• satin ribbon;
• port-bouquet;
• flowers;
• glue gun.

As a rule, the port-bouquet is already on sale, a sponge saturated with moisture is inserted into them, but so that it takes on the shape of a ball. You can add moisture to the sponge with a simple syringe. To prevent the water from flowing down, a dry piece of sponge is fixed to the handle at the bottom. Using double-sided tape, the leaves are attached in the expanding part. Move in a circle. The satin ribbon is fixed from the end of the handle, now the surface of the handle is wrapped with double-sided tape and the ribbon is laid on top. The tip is glued.

To create the necessary shape, it is better to take small-sized rosebuds. The flower stems are shortened to 6 centimeters and stuck into a sponge. The buds must completely cover the inner structure.

Some materials that we are not used to seeing as ornamental are gaining popularity, since such bouquets retain their attractiveness for a long time. You can make any composition of any complexity out of ribbons, money, artificial flowers, and even beads and corrugated paper.

• some styrofoam;
• PVA;
• cardboard tube;
• threads;
• toilet paper.

For a ball with a diameter of 20 centimeters, foam plastic with a thickness of 5 centimeters and the same area is required. First, a cardboard tube is applied to it and a hole is drawn along its diameter. You can cut it with a simple clerical knife. There should be two such pieces. Place the pipe in the foam to the middle and glue all the parts together, they will be the bottom of the composition. It is better not to use "Moment" for gluing, as it will only corrode the material.

This is the future stem of the flower.
