Hi! I’m Sandy with Afloral, and today, I want to show you this beautiful gardenia bouquet. It’s called FBQ for flower bouquet, three ten and these are beautiful white gardenias, and the bouquet is already put together for you.
What I’d like to show you is just how to add a few decorations. We have some pearl wisps, little tiny pearls on steams and you can just add in a few of these to adorn this bouquet very nicely. I’m just going to place them around and then I will use a little floral tape. Remember the tape is stretchy, so stretch it and then we are going to wrap that around the stems of the gardenias. They’ve already been taped once, so it shows you exactly where to tape it.
After you’ve added some pearl sprays into your bouquet, to finish it off we’ll use one of these colors. They have little prongs on the bottom and I don’t like those. So I always just cut those off. Once they’re cut off, you can use some hot glue, just put a couple dots of hot glue onto the color and slide your stems through and up to the top. And doesn’t that make a beautiful bouquet?
What if you wanted to add some ribbon to the bottom? We can do that to? I have a little white satin ribbon and we’ll make small bow and finish of the back of our bouquet. Little loops with the twist, I think will make ten loops, each time twisting and the four last loops that I make will be a little bit smaller and then add a little streamer. We’ll use a wire to hold that together.
What I like to do is take the wire right around the center and pull it very tightly on the backside of your ribbon and twist. Remember the small loops make the front of the ribbon. To finish this off, you put that little bow right in the center and again with your floral tape, wrap the stem of the wire with the bouquet. At the end you’ll want to cut out that wire off short because you don’t want anything on there that will catch on your dress. Isn’t that beautiful? Enjoy!
