A pearl-encrusted stem treatment elevates the value of a simple
hand-tied bouquet.
Hand-tied bouquets often are created with much attention to the
flowers and little to the stems. But accents such as ribbon
treatments, pearl or jeweled bands, decorative wire and gems in a
host of styles can take bouquets from pretty to pristine, and such
accents can be profit-boosting enhancements for your wedding sales.
The simplicity of this monobotanical bouquet—featuring
two varieties of yellow sweetheart roses—is balanced by an elegant
stem treatment. Wrapped with waterproof tape concealed with white
ribbon, the stems feature what looks to be a pearl-studded wrap but
actually is four flexible Bouquet Bracelets™ stacked atop one
another. A simple shoestring ribbon bow is accented with a
flower-shaped gem.
Providing such details will set your wedding creations
apart. Create a photo book to show brides your bouquet enhancement
options. Include photos of basic hand-tied bouquets next to the same
bouquets that are “dressed up,” and include prices so that brides
can see the value of taking their bouquets to the next level.
MATERIALS:
‘Beach’ and ‘Frisco’
sweetheart roses from Rosa Flora Limited; “Sugar” Bouquet Bracelets™
and “Delightful” Kara’s Kisses pin from Fitz Design; ribbon from
Berwick Offray; Oasis® Waterproof Tape from Oasis® Floral Products.
