DFA Class - Biedermeier Style Bridal Bouquet 2008 July 24

Biedermeier Style Bridal Bouquet

What is Biedermeier??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biedermeier


Flowers : Rose(red), Dianthus(pink), Hydrangea(purple), Gaultheria shallon & Asparagus virgatus


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This hand-tied bouquet is done by tutor... isn't it beautiful & elegant :)


after placing a rose in the central of the hydrangea, use asparagus as separator between hydrangea and dianthus;



Adding Dianthus one by one in spiral order, adjust them as round/circle as possible. 13nos. of Dianthus has been used for this layer;



For beginner, better to add one layer of asparagus before adding roses,but for tutor, it's not a problem without them;



Same as previous layer, adjust these roses as round as possible, it's about 14nos. roses used; trimmed gaultheria (3-4 pcs of leave in one stem) add to the base as a protective layer;



Tied the flowers with string before using ribbon for decoration;

a standard hand-tied bouquet should be able to stand; see it won't fall lah!

using ribbon tie and making knots of each round;

See!! such a femininity bridal bouquet after adding ribbon handle;

DFA Class - Tear-drop Floral Design 2008 July 3

Tear-drop Floral Design ~ Funeral arrangement


********************************
Firstly, use a piece of paper and outline the shape of tear-drop. It's a easier way for student florist.... hehehe!! Tricky ha!

Then put the handled-foam on it and start making the base with leaves.











Design the central point by putting a rose in the 2/3 length of foam.
Two or three Ribbon bow need to be place next to rose in order to enhance the focus point.










Then we can put these long stem flowers to outline the "tear-drop" shape before adding roses.
