Start by taking a small
group of Million Star Gyp and tape. Take Galax leaf and wrap around
gyp, wire and tape as in corsage
instructions.
When you finish the first group, it
will look like this photo. All the boutonnieres
(except Groom and Groomsmen) were made just like this photo, only shorten
the stem. By the way, all my boutonnieres include two pins with a
small tag indicating who wears the piece.
The corsages for
hostesses, vocal, organist and such, used three of the above
groups.
The mothers and grandmothers corsages
used Virginia Roses to match the bride.
Stair step your groups and tape
together. In the first picture, I have shown how the stem will look
after taping. The bow is then placed as close under the leaves as
possible and tape to the stem.
By the way, all of my bows are
made days before wedding work begin, especially with cut flowers. If
a bow is not as easy to you as it looks, I have come up with a way to make
bows that even my twelve year old neighbor could do. See here.
Each bridesmaid bouquet included twenty
groups gathered like shown above. You then add a few more galax
leaves in a circle around grouping and tape. For this bouquet, I
used three bows, placed in circle around bouquet. The wire from bows
is used to tape to arrangement. This bouquet by the way uses no
holder as the stems after taping gave good grip to the bouquet. The wedding photos in this section are
by Amazing Photography, Ponca City, OK.
Also, please do not miss the matching centerpiece
instructions.
When all is said and done, this
wedding demonstrates the possibility of using many types of fresh products
to create one really beautiful wedding. Think about it, what could
one do with a simple green and blooming house plants.
