As I mentioned on Monday we wanted to make my sister's bouquet out of blue hydrangeas and white roses. This is how the hydrangeas arrived. Though we liked the leaves on the bouquet (we did a test run a week earlier), they wilted quite quickly. So the first task was removing leaves and clipping the stems. Next we separated the best flowers from the wilted or damaged one.
After that, you arrange the bouquet loosely, until you like how it looks. Then you secure with rubber bands.
Add the floral glue (not my best look here).
Place ribbon over the glue.
We did a solid blue ribbon, then topped with a gauzy blue ribbon. Secure them with corsage pins.
The pins are on the "back" of the bouquet, so the bride know what the best face of the bouquet is for the procession and pics.
The finished product:
The bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets.
Me and my sis on the big day!
Big congrats! and a fabulous looking bouquet!
ReplyDeleteIt appears you provided your sister with her something blue! Pretty backdrop, I think that is the Potomac River.
