So, you’re not interested in
wedding hand bouquet with lots of intricate detail? Does all the glueing and
shaping make the flower lose it’s natural beauty to you? Don’t worry, ‘all
natural' theme is in the wedding hand bouquet trend too…
To achieve this, use the hand
tied technique. It doesn't need a holder and the flowers and foliage will be
tied only. Few wire's still needed as accent, but mostly contains of just the
flowers. Very natural!!!!
The first of course preparing the
flowers and foliage. For this bouquet you need
carnation, baby's breath and ruscus. The flowers used must be cleaned up
from its branches, leaves and thorn (if you use 'roses'). For the baby's
breath, cut them small according to its branches then each of them tied with
floral wire. Make few as needed. This will ensure the baby's breath length and
size be equal to one another and so it fits the flower bouquet proportionally
(not to thick but not too rare as well)
After that, it’s turn for Mr.
Harry to demonstrate how to make the hand tied. First he took a carnation then
ruscus, put together alternately while twisting it, and then the baby's breath
was added. He did it again in the same way until the desired shape and size
achieved. Looked easy watching him doing this, but surprisingly not that easy
to make. Just try it!! It needs strong fingers to hold tightly all the flowers
and foliage without changing their position while twisting in the same time.
Last, tie them tightly and cut
the stems into the desired length, then finished!!! The hand tied wedding
bouquet must be able to stand on its own.
To hold, simply grab them, don’t worry the flower bouquet shape won’t change.
A few more different angles from
the hand tied wedding bouquet. Its appeal is indeed in their natural beauty.
