Alternative bouquets

Traditionally, brides choose wedding bouquets exclusively from fresh flowers. As an alternative, designers offer pretty and original wedding bouquets of fabric and even ribbons. Such a bouquet will not fade and will remain for a long time to come. And everything can be, and you will want to transfer it in the future by inheritance. In 2013, such bouquets can be considered even fashionable.

Wedding bouquets of artificial flowers are also becoming popular. Such a bouquet will also be durable, but he is an amateur. Therefore, basically it is ordered as a bouquet-understudy.

Another option for bold brides is a bouquet decorated with the help of jewelry and brooches. If you still do not dare to use it as the main one, it can become not a bad find for the photo session.

Instructions for making a bouquet from a brooch by yourself

For work we need:

• from 50 to 80 jewelery of green, purple, turquoise and gold shades, for example, brooches, large earrings, cufflinks, pendants, etc .;
• 1.2 m of golden taffeta;
• 30 cm of pistachio-colored velvet braid;
• 2.5 m of wire with strung beads;
• scissors, nippers, pliers;
• glue gun with glue sticks;
• floristic wire;
• artificial stalk gendrangeya (2 pcs.)

1. Attach the wire to each piece of jewelry so that the flower on the stem turns out. If the element is heavy, you can use several wires. Approach each decoration individually. After fixing, the decoration should hold firmly in a vertical position on the wire.
2. Each stem is wrapped with a special floristic tape. This technique in florists is called tapping.
3. We collect a bouquet. To do this, take the flowers of an artificial hydrangea in your left hand, which will be the basis of the bouquet and hide the stems from the wire. With your right hand, insert one stalk-brooch. All the inflorescences should be covered with ornaments. We do this until the bouquet is in shape. After this, we fix the stems with the help of a corsage tape.
4. We decorate the bouquet with the help of wire with strung beads. We form from this wire 4 loops, about 8 cm long, each. Gathering them together, we will get a petal segment. We make the same elements of 4 pieces and we form a cuff for the bouquet.
5. About 30 cm of fabric is left to decorate the handle of the bouquet. On the rest, we bend the fabric 3-4 mm and insert a wire 25 cm long into the formed pocket. We form a circle from the wire. Another option is to bend the wire and attach the fabric to it using an adhesive gun. The resulting fabric skirt is worn under the cuff. The remains of the fabric wrap the bouquet handle. Place the junction of the skirt and winding with a cloth decorate the velvet bow.

Here is a vintage bouquet should be in the end.
