Why contradictive? Because the
hand-tied which only used calla lilies is so simple on its own but with lots of
attention to the detail.
This hand-tied is actually a work
of a floral designer from Singapore
named Damien. Mrs. Ling Ling purposefully bought it for the need as a comparison of the hand tied techniques.
For the brides who don't know
yet how to hold this long type wedding bouquet, just look at the image above.
So, the hand-tied is carried sideways, not upfront as usual.
As usual, the demo began with a
ready-made hand-tied of yellow calla lilies which had already secured with gold
ribbon and some orange colored flower pins attached on it.(imagine the buttons
on your shirt!). The next steps are roughly the same as our previous post on
'wire on flowers'. First,
you mold the wire into spiral look (look like mosquito repellent), after that
arrange it on the ready-made hand-tied, then secured it with glue. Finally, to
make the wire look three dimensional, the spiral was pushed forward.
The overall and detail image of
the hand-tied. If you would like to make it on your own, this is also the
simplest form, so we encourage you to try it!!!
Here’s the real close-up before
and after; before, the calla lilies were put together by using wire then covered with gold ribbon.
The pins then were attached on it. If you’re Chinese, usually need 8 pins
(lucky number). And the right image shows how it looks after the copper wire
attached. Ooomph, it makes the regular hand-tied become premium.
This type of wedding bouquet
trend is for you who likes details but doesn’t like to be showy. This hand-tied
might look very simple from afar, but while you’re holding it and greet your
guest, then they will see all the ribbons, pins and wire details. Surely you'll
feel proud of it!!
