In a cascade, the flowers, arranged freely, look like an inverted drop and some of them hang down like a cascade of water.

The circumference of the hemispherical bouquet is approximately twenty to twenty-five centimeters; according to statistics, this is the height of an average person, approximately two-thirds of the bride’s waist.So, let's try to make a bouquet for the bride with our own hands.

How to make a bridal bouquet – photos andjob description Step one. We clean the stems of the flowers from excess leaves, flowers and thorns. We cut each stem by about two to three centimeters and split it. Pour clean water into the vase and add liquid to keep the flowers fresh. Let's put our prepared floral elements there for five to six hours. Step two. Next, we take a portaquet holder and insert an oasis pre-soaked with water into it, which we must additionally secure with thin copper wire. Step three. We wrap the handle of the porta bouquet with tape, pulling it a little – it will stick better this way. Cover the bottom of the portobouquet with ivy or ruscus leaves. We glue them using the Roman technique, that is, on top of each other. Then we decorate it with a satin ribbon of a delicate shade, winding it along the entire length of the handle to the leaves in thick turns, securing the edges with glue.Step four.Next, we take our prepared buds one at a time, apply glue one centimeter below the cut and confidently insert them into the oasis. Gradually fill the surface from the crown to the cuff with flowers, complementing them with greenery and various decorative elements. It all depends on the taste preferences of each of us. Beads can be glued directly to the leaves, but you should choose light ones so that they do not pull the leaves down. If there are decorative elements on a long wire, such as butterflies, you can stick them in too.Step five.After we have installed the flowers, we return to the stem of the porta bouquet. It can additionally be decorated with a small elegant bow or a beautiful brooch, or it can be left unchanged. Step six. In any case, we must maintain the freshness of the bouquet. To do this, we put it in the refrigerator and keep it there until the time comes to leave the house.
