This bouquet has a mixture of silk and dried. The importance is depth and you will achieve this by placing your flowers at difference levels.

Also, don't you love the new eucalyptus silk greenery. This really made the bouquet look from a distance so real.

Begin with vase and some sort of paper to hold your bridal holder in place. Place larger flower (here roses) close to the holder and arrange to desired shape.

With silk, I use Oasis pan glue to hold in place. Just dip and place flowers. Next, you wire yellow statice, purple African violet and lavender stock and place in between the roses. Remember to place these flowers at different levels as shown in photo above.

This bride needed five bridesmaid bouquets and here we have two displayed in small clear vases. This also shows how the bouquets can be used on tables after the service. Each bouquet has one stem lavender stock, one each color eucalyptus, two stems yellow statice and two wired African violets with light yellow ribbon. Hold in hand while designing and tape two to three pieces at a time.

Corsages were made with one rose, one eucalyptus, two African violet (wired) and light yellow bow. Boutonnières were made like corsages only the groom included a smaller rose and none had bows.

I sprayed the entire wedding with lavender spray mist to give a feeling of fresh flowers. The bride loved it.
