Bouquet complete with gems!
Are being asked for a wedding bouquet in silk, well here’s an idea…. and just in case you need a few tips on how to do it or what products we have used, that’s here too.
position the wire collar & holder
Push the foam bouquet holder through the centre of the Wire and Bead collar. Secure in place with some Silver wire.
Trim the Eucalyptus and Bay leaves down to individual pieces, wire and tape the stems, so that they can easily be pushed into the foam. Repeat with the flower heads and gems.
add hydrangea and lavender
Once these are all wired and taped, start to place the twelve Rose buds in position, (you may want to add a dab of glue to each of the stems before pushing them into the foam, just for extra security.) At this point you can also position the Eucalyptus leaves.
Fill in any spaces with the Hydrangea florets and Lavender. When you are happy with the flowers add the Bay leaves to the arrangement, paying particular attention around the base of the bouquet.
Finished bouquet from the side
Now you can add the gems, placing them amongst the flowers will enhance the colour of the Rose buds and Lavender and add a sparkle to the arrangement.
