wedding bouquet
orchids in
motion
A daring bouquet style matches
the distinction of these vibrant flowers.
Design by J. Keith White, AIFD
Captivating moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) create a sense of fluid motion
within this bouquet, which has a most distinctive base. Two branches of
kiwi vine are bound together with hot-pink aluminum wire to construct
the form for the bouquet, and the orchid blossoms are attached to the
vine with floral adhesive. Some of the orchids are glued back to back,
making the bouquet attractive from all angles.
A length of metallic wire, strung randomly with Hypericum berries, hangs
from the aluminum-wire handle. This natural beaded garland wraps
artistically around the kiwi vine form, continuing the graceful
movement.
This bouquet would be lovely against the backdrop of a simple wedding
gown, which would ensure the natural details are noticed.
MATERIALS: moth orchids (Phalaenopsis), Hypericum and kiwi vine (Actinidia)
from California cut flower growers; Strong Pink Aluminum Wire, Metallic
Wire and Oasis, Floral Adhesive from Smithers-Oasis.
Design from Florists’ Review Winning Bouquet Combinations. To order, call (800)
