Looking at the exquisite fragrant bouquets, more reminiscent of a real work of art, we unwittingly begin to envy florists who can create such beauty. But, subject to certain rules, a beautiful bouquet can be obtained by a person who first decided to try his hand at floristry.
You will need
Sharp knife, boiling water, cold water, flowers, green leaves
Instruction manual
1
Take an odd number of flowers with stems of different lengths to make the bouquet look more natural. The basis of the bouquet is assembled from large flowers, bright colors. Along the edges they are framed by smaller, paler plants. A combination of blossoming flowers and buds also looks good.
2
A correctly selected color scheme of a bouquet largely determines its beauty. Bunches of blue-orange, red-green, yellow-violet colors look harmonious. If the combination of flowers in the bouquet does not seem to you quite successful, add white flowers. They will smooth out the bad contrast.
3
When preparing a monophonic bouquet, it is better to use flowers with coloring of varying degrees of intensity. For example, pink, red, burgundy in one bouquet. It should be remembered that not all flowers are compatible with each other. For example, roses and carnations are very moody and do not tolerate the neighborhood of other flowers. Lilies of the valley, lilies and daffodils, on the contrary, feel good in bouquets, but most other flowers will fade because of them.
4
It is undesirable to combine in one bouquet more than three different shades. But in one bouquet you can safely add flowers of different types, sizes, shapes. For example, under the condition of a correctly selected color combination, flowers with needle, terry, smooth heads look great together.
5
It is also not worth combining wildflowers with orchids, antirium. Best of all, a bouquet of wildflowers looks on its own, decorated only with green leaves. In general, green color will give freshness to any bouquet. It is impossible to overdo it. Therefore, feel free to experiment with traditional "Christmas trees", fern branches and other greens.
note
It must be remembered that not all flowers are compatible with each other. For example, roses and carnations are very moody and do not tolerate the neighborhood of other flowers. Lilies of the valley, lilies and daffodils, on the contrary, feel good in bouquets, but most other flowers will fade because of them.
Useful advice
Use a sharp knife if you are going to cut flowers for a bouquet yourself. This must be done early in the morning or late in the evening. Before making a bouquet, the lower part of the stem is freed from thorns, leaves, side branches. Hold the ends of the stems over the fire for several seconds if the flowers secrete milky juice. Immediately after this, dip them into a container of cold water. Instead of fire, you can use cool boiling water.
