The European fashion for a variety of flowers is slowly reaching the Russian hinterland. Hydrangeas, hyacinths, orchids, callas, eustoma have appeared in our salons! They will make a magnificent bouquet on their own, or make an excellent company with other varieties.

Eustoma- a very delicate, sensual flower. Goes great with roses and lilies. And if you take several branches of the same or different colors, you will get a wonderful bouquet.

Hypericum perfectly dilutes bouquets and adds some playfulness to them. Its glossy red berries pair beautifully with light-colored flowers.

Small doesn't mean bad

Bouquets are the case where size is not important, and is more than compensated for appearance. If you are limited in funds or want to congratulate not so much loved one, give a small bouquet as a compliment.

Roses are one of the most popular flowers for creating bouquets. They are beautiful and attractive in themselves, so putting them together into a great composition will not be difficult. The main thing is to tune in to a creative note and show a little imagination.

To create a bouquet of roses, you must first purchase them. The flower warehouse offers a wide range of fresh roses at wholesale and retail prices. General recommendations for making a beautiful bouquet of roses:

    Proportion and contrasting spots. Roses different sizes should stand out. However, do not make the contrast too bright.

    Sustainability. The composition must have balance. If it leans down, it's not aligned correctly.

    Durability. Roses should be stored properly in a cool place. It is important to change the water on time, adding disinfectants, and trim the stems.

    Naturalness and naturalness of packaging. Foil and artificial cellophane will make a bouquet of roses tasteless. The color of the packaging should also not distract from the content of the composition.

    Moderate decor. It is better to avoid too voluminous decorative elements and dried flowers. A variety of bows and toys are also not the best choice.

    Harmony. It is worth observing moderation when choosing decorations and greenery. A few single roses without packaging are better than a lush, tasteless bouquet decorated with incompatible decor.

Bouquet shapes

Roses can be laid out in a spiral, then the bouquet will be round and voluminous. But this type of compilation will require a fairly large number of them. A simpler and more modest way is parallel display. Flowers with stems of equal length are arranged parallel to each other. Next, fix it with tape, tape or a garter.

Asymmetric variations are also possible at the request of the customer or florist. Alternative way- use of a boutonniere. With its help, you can make a composition from just one rose, decorating it with additional details.

Flowers are used to decorate rooms, decorate tables during a significant event, and are presented as a sign of respect and love. They are bred at home, in the country. It’s nice and easy to go out into nature in the summer to admire the blooming of charming plants and immerse yourself in their aroma.

Language of plants


If you know how to make a bouquet, then you can become a florist, at least in your family, and delight your friends and loved ones with such picturesque gifts. Various colors, different groups plants are able to tell for a person what he did not dare to tell.

Before you arrange a bouquet, learn about the language of flowers:

  • Anyone who wants to express his admiration should present a bouquet of lilies and camellias.
  • Mimosa will hint that the giver is carefully hiding the feelings he has for you.
  • If you were given a bouquet of white irises or pink or red roses, tulips, these plants speak eloquently of love.
  • Also, red and white roses can, in the language of flowers, assert that you are the other half of the giver (at least he or she thinks so).
  • But it is better not to receive yellow carnations, as these flowers will convey the unpleasant news that you have fallen out of love.
  • Carnations of different colors, chrysanthemums and hyacinths are given as a sign of respect.
  • Be sure that someone is enchanted by you if you present a bouquet of lavender, violets or burgundy roses.
  • If a bouquet of orchids and chrysanthemums is made, it means that the giver is pleased to meet you.
  • And one or more branches of lilac will remind or inform that you were the giver’s first love.
Now you know which plants to use when making bouquets to express exactly the emotions that you experience. It's time to get acquainted simple rules making compositions from fresh flowers.

How to make a bouquet


If you want to put together a spring composition of fresh flowers, then use plants of no more than three colors. Of course, the range of shades must be combined with each other.

For example, if you take purple lilacs and want to add tulips to the composition, they should not be red or yellow. In this case, tenderness will not be achieved. To make it happen, include white, light pink or soft lilac tulips in your bouquet.

You can add other flowers, such as hyacinths, but they should also be subtle in color and blend in with the rest of the plants.

Speaking about how to make bouquets, it is important to note that one can contain several names of plants. A composition that uses gerberas, red tulips, gypsophila, and chrysanthemums looks beautiful.

At the same time, it is important to comply color palette and the principle of composing a bouquet:

  1. Place the lightest or smallest flowers along its edges, but they should not hang down. Gypsophila will look great here. Place dark and bright plants in the center of the composition. Falling and curly ones are placed near the stems of the main flowers.
  2. Don't use too many greens. Just add a carved palm leaf or a fluffy sprig of asparagus. At the same time, greens should not rise above the flowers, unlike cereals.
  3. Making bouquets also includes the knowledge that the flowers in such a composition should not be located close to each other, let them look free.
  4. When creating a composition, think about its concept. When you make a field bouquet, do not combine “complex” and “simple” flowers. After all, among lilies of the valley, daffodils, small daisies, for example, an exotic anthurium, an orchid will look ridiculous. The charm and elegance of a “simple” bouquet of small daisies and lilies of the valley will be emphasized by solidago, iris and other flowers in the same color scheme.
  5. Use plants that are in different stages of buds: have strong buds, slightly bloomed and fully opened.
To prevent vampire flowers (such as narcissus) from negatively influencing others by secreting a specific juice, first cut their stems, place them in a separate container with water for 2-3 hours, and only then add them to the bouquet.

To prevent cut flowers from wilting longer, add a sprig of geranium or thuja to them. At least every other day, trim the stems, wash them and change the water in the vase to fresh water.

Examples of creating compositions from fresh flowers


If you don't know what bouquet to create for the teacher, the one below will be ideal option. After all, in the language of flowers, hydrangea means “impartiality.”

To create such a flower arrangement you will need the following:

  • blue hydrangea, red lily, solidago, spray white chrysanthemum, greenery;
  • floral sponge “oasis”;
  • thin cardboard;
  • polyethylene film;
  • artificial small apples;
  • sisal coconut fiber;
  • red spray paint;
  • thick aluminum wire;
  • glue gun and silicone glue for it;
  • thin floral wire;
  • wire cutters;
  • scissors.


Take cardboard, form it into a ball 25 cm high. Secure it with glue. Make a small loop from the aluminum wire that will secure the other end of the wire when you remove it from the bottom of the bag.

If you are using cardboard whose color matches the sisal fiber, then there is no need to dye it. If the shades are different, then coat the outside of the bag with spray paint.

Disassemble sisal fabric into fibers or use coconut fabric. Using a glue gun, attach this decorative element to the cardboard cone. And at the bottom, wind it onto a curl of wire.


Take a floral sponge and place it in a container of water. To ensure that it is evenly saturated with liquid, do not drown it with your hands. After 20 minutes, take out the sponge, cut a piece out of it so that it matches the internal dimensions bag. To prevent the cardboard from getting wet, wrap the sponge horn in cellophane, leaving only top part.

We will insert flowers into it. Trim them and stick the shortened stems into a sponge horn. To make a bouquet of flowers, first take lily, solidago and greenery.

After you place them in the “oasis”, stick hydrangea, chrysanthemums there and decorate your creation with artificial apples, stringing them on small pieces of wire. You can use toothpicks instead.


The flowers in the bouquet should be arranged quite tightly, but not overlap each other. Along with the blossoming lily, its buds also look beautiful.


These are so beautiful flower arrangements you can compose them yourself and present them to a teacher or other respected person.

Jewelry for the bride


Flowers are used not only to decorate the newlywed’s hairstyle, decorate the hall, festive table, but also, of course, to make the bride’s bouquet.

Below will be presented 2 master classes on this topic. In the first, the flowers for the wedding bouquet will be decorated using a porta bouquet maker. In the second one, no.

The bouquet holder is a hollow plastic tube, expanding towards the top, into which a floral sponge is inserted. It is saturated with a preservative solution or water so that the liquid nourishes the flowers for some time.

A bride's wedding bouquet made using this device will not only look beautiful, but will also be able to remain fresh throughout holiday.

To create this you will need:

  • Portable bouquet holder “Lady”;
  • satin ribbon;
  • a piece of oasis sponge;
  • anchor tape;
  • green tape;
  • double sided tape;
  • 4 white and 5 crimson roses;
  • salal leaves;
  • viburnum (viburnum berries);
  • scissors;
  • pliers.
Carefully remove the sponge from the horn, removing plastic mesh to insert a piece of dry “oasis” into the hollow tube.



The bride should look perfect both from the front and from the reverse side. Therefore, we decorate the outer upper part of the portaquet holder with salal leaves, gluing them to double-sided tape.


For a better fit, you need to secure these leaves to the ribbed surface with anchor tape.


So that it is not visible, we wrap a light green tape over it.


If you have dry Crisal powder, add some of it to cold water so that a sponge soaked in such a solution nourishes the flowers.

If not, then place the semicircular piece of “oasis” that you first took out of the horn into the water. Don’t forget, he must drown in it himself, without your help, then he will be evenly saturated with moisture.


After this happens, take out the sponge, put it in place in the portaquet holder and secure it by covering it with a mesh. Moreover, the latter should snap onto the white part of the horn.


Next, we form the bride’s bouquet with our own hands, or by calling in assistants. We move on to decorating the handle of the horn, since the composition should look amazing from all sides. Starting from the bottom of the portbouquet, cover its narrow part with double-sided tape, and place white tape on top of it. satin ribbon. Attach its tip using a glue gun.



Now decorate the side expanding part of the horn with leaves. Cut their stem at an angle and immediately pierce the sponge with it.


To prevent the water flowing down from the sponge from wetting the handle of the portaquet maker, we put a dry piece of “oasis” into its hollow part. It will absorb excess moisture, thereby leaving the bottom of the bouquet dry and the bride’s hands clean.

We begin to decorate the wedding bouquet with flowers. Trim the brighter roses at an angle first, distributing 3 on one side and 2 on the other side of the sponge. Then stick in white flowers and fill the gaps between the roses with viburnum and leaves. After which the composition for the bride from roses, leaves and unripe berries of viburnum is ready.

Another wedding bouquet


If you don't have special devices, then you can perform the composition using a different technique. Not only does the bride’s bouquet consist of such roses, it can be made and given as a gift, timed to coincide with another event. This is what the final composition looks like.

For this we have prepared:

  • 10 single-headed roses;
  • 20 spray roses;
  • greenery to decorate the cuff;
  • tape.
First you need to cut off all the leaves from the stem and divide the bush rose into inflorescences. Remove excess stems from greens. Now you can begin the main stage of work.

Do beautiful bouquet start by placing 5 colors parallel to each other. Their height should be the same. Place the next, sixth rose under small angle. Place the seventh one at an angle as well.


Gradually, turning the bouquet slightly to one side, arrange all the roses in this way. As a result of using this spiral technique, you will get a beautiful hemispherical shape. Tie it with anchor tape or tape, wrap it several times, tie it, trim off the excess.


To create a cuff, also surround the bouquet in a spiral around the outer circle with greenery. Then tie the composition again, this time with greenery.

Trim the ends of the petioles with sharp scissors or pruners so that they are the same height and the cuts are perpendicular. When you hold the arrangement, the remaining stems should be slightly longer than your palm. Now you know how to make a bridal bouquet in another way.

Gift for your girlfriend


Flowers designed in the shape of a heart will touch any representative of the fair sex. And if you make a bouquet with sweets, you will like this gift even more. To create such an original presentation, you will need a little, namely:
  • red carnations;

  • scissors;
  • wide green tape;
  • decorations in the form of butterflies on wire;
  • pink or scarlet silk ribbon;
  • thick floral colored aluminum wire;
  • candies "Raffaello" or others in wrapper.
Here are the stages of work awaiting you. Keeping the same distance between the stems of the carnations, carefully string each flower onto the floral wire using a spiral technique. Then bend it into a heart shape. Tie the stems with floral tape.

Now decorate the stems with a wide decorative ribbon and tie a scarlet bow on top of it.


Wrap with thin textile ribbon inner space hearts made of carnations. To do this, pass it between the colors in different directions. Fill the resulting bowl with sweets and decorate the bouquet with butterflies. After which you can give a beautiful, fragrant, tasty gift.

A little about floristry



Before we figure out how to put together a beautiful bouquet, let’s turn to a very interesting science - floristry. Already from the name it is clear that we are talking about plants (approx. Flora), this is one of the forms of design and applied arts. Berries, leaves, and nuts are used here.
There are four types of compositions in floristry from living plants:
  • made in one color.
  • using contrasting solutions.
  • using different shades.
  • made of different colors.
There are a number of other rules, one of which is probably the most important: only one primary color should predominate in the bouquet.

  • The topic of “neighborhood” needs to be explored. It is better not to see some buds together; for example, a “roses-wildflowers” ​​composition would be very inappropriate. If you prefer wildflowers, it is better not to add anything to them, exotic plants They also don’t need a neighborhood. If you choose an orchid, you can dilute it with a small amount of greenery.
  • There are also rules for how to assemble a bouquet of flowers.
For a “handmade” set, stylistic overkill is unacceptable; translating into simple language, you should not use too much in the composition different types plants. To avoid overload, it is enough to use no more than 2-3 varieties of plants and a small amount of greenery.

  • Important details. If you want to collect a set of flowers from your garden, you need to cut them at an angle. The number of colors must be odd. The size depends on the celebration: for birthdays it is customary to give large ones, and for weddings small, not voluminous ones.
  • Gifts are so different. The shapes of men's and women's bouquets vary significantly. It is acceptable to give round ones to women, and more elongated ones to men.

Beauty is a relative concept. What was admired yesterday may seem completely tasteless today and not worthy of attention. It’s not difficult to make a beautiful bouquet with your own hands, but you should first familiarize yourself with latest trends in the world of floristry to make it look stylish and fashionable.

Current trends in floral design

Natural, practical and creative – this is what a beautiful arrangement should be, according to leading florists. It is important that the bouquet arrangement not only pleases, but also surprises, for example, unexpected combination components, color scheme, decor, packaging method. Contrasts that until recently shocked and caused bewilderment are now met as a matter of course.

It is fashionable to mix exotic plants with field and garden plants, adding fruits or vegetables as an accent. Due to the beneficial interaction of shades and textures, dynamic, expressive compositions are obtained. But the main trend recent years became mixes of fresh flowers and sweets - the quintessence of pleasure.

The second no less popular trend is mono-bouquets. To highlight the natural beauty flowers, use luxurious, carefully thought out packaging. Some mono-compositions are best “diluted” with decorative greenery and berries, but roses, callas, carnations, gerberas and eustoma do not need such an addition.

For those who decide to please their loved ones winter period, it is not necessary to wander in search of exotic flowers, like the heroine of the famous fairy tale “The Twelve Months”. It is allowed and even fashionable to make beautiful bouquets with your own hands, not only from flowers, but from any seasonal materials. Cones and twigs coniferous trees, dried flowers and succulents in combination with “New Year’s” fruits - oranges, pomegranates, kiwis will make a magnificent arrangement, in no way inferior to their traditional counterparts.

With the arrival of warmer weather, when the choice of floral components expands, the time comes for creative experiments. Nothing prevents you from combining bush roses and decorative sunflowers or delicate garden anemones, protea, cereals and cotton bolls. Boldly? But with a delicate taste, it turns out fantastically impressive.


Beauty is in convenience

The well-known slogan: “Beauty requires sacrifice” seems to be losing its relevance. Floral compositions now impress not only with aesthetics, but also with practicality. Comes into fashion original look packaging - a cone-bag, which allows you not to hold a huge armful of flowers on outstretched arms, but to carry them freely, like a purchase from a store.

Only the desire to simplify life can explain the appearance of miniature “compliment” bouquets, which are usually given on a date, as a sign of sympathy, or as encouragement to employees. Almost weightless compositions in original paper envelopes do not embarrass or oblige the recipient to anything, but they definitely lift the mood.

Another “convenient” trend is to present flowers in boxes, baskets or drawers, equipped with a floral sponge. Creative solution eliminates a lot of hassle, because the arrangement already has both a vase and water, all that remains is to decorate your interior with it. The box is often made into 2 compartments, adding some pleasant surprise to the floral elements.


Among the most popular gifts:

  • perfumery;
  • decorations;
  • Stuffed Toys;
  • elite confectionery products.

Examples of fashionable and stylish flower arrangements

Thanks to the fashion for naturalness and unusualness, making a beautiful bouquet with your own hands today is easier than ever. Novice florists can give full rein to their imagination and passion for experimentation. But fresh ideas will not interfere even with the most creative individuals. Like useful tips on their implementation.

Moss and cotton

A birthday bouquet is one of the most popular after wedding floristry. But if previously it was compiled exclusively according to the rules of floral etiquette, now is the time to break stereotypes. An unusual combination of dried flowers, cotton bolls and moss accessories will be appropriate in almost any situation, regardless of the gender, age and taste preferences of the birthday person. This bright and positive mix is ​​simply bound to please.


For convenience and ease of assembly, a floral frame is used. You can twist it yourself from wire, but it is better to buy it ready-made in a specialized store. The frame perfectly retains the shape of the bouquet arrangement, helps distribute plants without resorting to spiral techniques, and also eliminates the need to make complex packaging.

You will need:

  • eucalyptus greens, stabilized moss balls, cotton bolls, Albiflora brunia sprigs;
  • decor: rattan balls, wood wool, “ladybugs” figurines for decoration;
  • floral wire, pruning shears, heat gun.


We cut “stems” of the same length from the wire. We attach plants and decorative elements to them. We braid the rattan balls with wire, place moss elements on it, and extend the cotton bolls.




A small tuft of decorative filler, known as “wood wool,” is wrapped in the middle with thread to give it a neat shape. And glue it using a heat gun at the base of each moss ball.


We mask the wire “stems” of all decorative components with tape.



And let's start assembling the bouquet. It is based on 2 types of decorative balls and cotton.


We fill the gaps with brunia sprigs and eucalyptus greens. Next, we carefully “thread” the bouquet arrangement into the finished frame, decorated with moss. After shaking slightly, we distribute the plants over the frame so that there are no voids and “crowding”, and additional volume appears.


We fix the stems with tape, after which we wrap them with decorative ribbon made of organza folded several times. There is still an unattractive underside of the frame. We mask it with the same wood wool, gracefully lowering some of the material onto the handle.


Having secured the filler with threads, we decorate it with a colorful textile bow. And we enliven the composition itself with cute ladybugs. The result is a very original and stylish arrangement in eco-style.



Blooming Provence

Delicate compositions in pastel colors, reminiscent of one of the most beautiful provinces of France, are unlikely to ever lose their relevance. They only change slightly, following new fashion trends. Today it’s especially chic to give such floral masterpieces in hat boxes.

This is probably The best way Beautifully pack a bouquet of flowers with your own hands. By performing all the operations step by step, you can get an excellent result without delving into the intricacies of professional floristry. The main thing is to choose a harmonious color scheme and plants with different textures that will effectively complement each other.


For example:

  • roses of 2 varieties: bush and peony, eustoma, ranunculus, waxflower, viburnum, eucalyptus greens, as well as the symbol of Provence - lavender.

Materials you will need:

  • elegant box;
  • floral sponge (piaflor);
  • mica packaging film.
  1. We assemble the bars of dry piaflora together using wire staples. Using a utility knife, cut a circle to fit the size of the gift box. In order not to make a mistake, we simply place the “container” on the structure made of bars and trace the outline with a marker.
  2. We line the inside of the box with thick cellophane film, which will protect the cardboard from getting wet.
  3. Place Piaflor in a container of water and let it submerge freely without pressing to speed up the process. Otherwise, dry areas may remain.
  4. Wrap a damp sponge in cling film, leaving the top open, and put it in the box. We smooth out the cellophane protruding above the piaflor with scissors, leaving 1.5 - 2 cm.
  5. We prepare the plants. We cut the stems obliquely, having previously measured what length is needed to make the composition look beautiful. First we distribute large roses, then eustoma and ranunculus, and finally decorative greenery. We complete the arrangement with lavender, which will add not only a special charm, but also an aroma.



Everything in the garden

The trendy trend is to collect as much as possible in one arrangement. seasonal plants. It turns out very fresh and unexpected, as if a piece of a summer garden was in the girl’s hands. An interesting and beautiful do-it-yourself bouquet can be made from gladioli, roses, carnations and Santini chrysanthemums. Especially if you add umbrellas of dill and its closest relative, buplerum, branches of jasmine or other ornamental shrubs to the flowers.

To cope with lush forbs you will need the following tools:

  • pruning shears, scissors, tape.

And materials:

  • decorative braid of several types, pins.


How to put together completely, seemingly incompatible plants? Traditional way using the spiral technique. The core is formed by roses.


Then they are joined by small-flowered chrysanthemums and greenery. In order not to disturb the horizontal composition, tall gladioli are disassembled into inflorescences and placed in capsule stems with a nutrient solution.


Each layer of flowers is interspersed with greenery. Umbrellas of dill and buplerum add delicacy, and bush leaves add picturesqueness.


Having gained sufficient volume, we fix the plant stems with tape. Then we cut it with pruning shears until required length. We decorate the stem with several types of satin braid.



If fresh flowers do not seem creative enough, you can replace them with a beautiful paper bouquet. Gone are the days when such a decision was frightening and alarming. Exquisite roses collected from leaves old book Makes a great gift for a paper wedding.

Before starting the creative process, you need to make sure that the paper, if we are talking about really old editions or sheet music, is still flexible enough to withstand various manipulations with it.

  1. Let's prepare 5 types of petals, as shown in the photo below. All of them are intended for one rose. The number of petals of each type depends on how lush the flower is needed. In any case, there should be at least 5 of them. The smallest petals, from which the middle is collected, have a narrow, pointed shape, the peripheral ones are wider and rounder.
  2. We bend each piece slightly along the midline, and pull the edges back, as if “curling” them with our fingers. This way the petal turns out voluminous and naturalistic.
  3. We twist one of the paper blanks intended to form the central bud into a tube and glue it to the wire. Around we begin to collect the rest of the flower, using all the petals bigger size. Each subsequent copy must overlap the junction of the previous two.
  4. We wrap the wire stem of the rose with tape. You can also make sepals from it.
  5. We assemble the composition on a foam ball or porta bouquet.




The simplest and most effective way of packaging

Even a simple arrangement will sparkle with new colors if it is designed correctly. Not only baskets or hat boxes, but also ordinary wrapping paper capable of performing miracles. Moreover, with its help you can beautifully wrap a bouquet of flowers with your own hands in just a few minutes.

Required:

  • 1 sheet each of craft paper and tishy, ​​as well as 2 sheets of wrapping paper;
  • ready-made floral accessory.

We collect a small free composition on our stems. We cut the packaging sheets into rectangles with sides of 20x25 cm. We place them on top of each other at a slight angle. We cut out a base from kraft paper, 50 cm wide and 1.5 times the height of the flowers.


Let's start assembly. Place 2 sheets of wrapping paper on craft paper so that their bottom edge is centered and the top edge protrudes slightly. We arrange the flowers. We cover the lower part of the stems to the leaves with a long rectangle. We gather thin tissue paper into wide folds.


We lay 1/3 of the craft sheet on top, and form an envelope from the rest of it. We secure the packaging with satin ribbon.
