wedding bouquet
singing of spring
This lively arrangement is
perfect for brides who love color.
AThis spectacular bouquet is alive with a combination of spring colors.
The yellow and pink tulips, orange stars-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalums),
light- peach amaryllises, yellow hyacinths and coral Gloriosa lilies add
warm hues to the design while the blue grape hyacinths (Muscaris) and
lavender hyacinths contribute cool colors. In addition, the bouquet
features a variety of textures, both within individual flowers and in
their placement; some were arranged to protrude, and others are nestled
farther in to create exciting dimension and depth. This variety of
flowers not only creates sophisticated combinations of color
and texture but also brings great fragrance to the arrangement.
Unlike most spring bridal bouquets, which feature one dominant color and
type of flower, this bouquet would enhance almost any wedding gown and
complement most wedding color schemes. And although it maintains the
appearance of a hand-tied bouquet, it is designed in a bouquet holder,
with stems taped around the handle and wrapped with a tulip leaf.
MATERIALS: Wedding Belle® Straight Handle Holder and Oasis®
Floral Adhesive from Smithers-Oasis; Floratape® stem wrap from ALCAN
Corporation; all flowers from Netherlands Flower Bulb Information
Center; Ruscus from favorite supplier.
