How To Make A Round Hand Tied Presentation Bouquet

This floral video tutorial is about decorating a simple bouquet. As we call it hand tied bouquet and people often order that style for multiple purposes. We need 50 long or medium length roses, white daisies chrysanthemums about 10-15 stems, gypsophila, or we call baby's breath. And also greens: approximately 10 stems of aspidistra leaves, you can use other greens of your choice and teepe palm leaves. I staple the folded aspidistra leave with paper clips twice for strength, you can secure it with wire or floral tape, but it will take more time, so it's easier this way. Teepe palm leaves need to be trimmed for shape and neatness, and also for the reason that sometimes the tips of palm leaves can dry and browning and look not attractive, so it does not hurt to trim them little bit. When everything is prepared, you can start assembling. It is not absolutely difficult and any person, even without special experience, can do it. The main thing is to be patient and hold everything tightly in your hand so that the flowers do not crumble. All you need to have is strong hands, since it is not easy to collect such a bouquet in your hands if there are many flowers, but I will try to give you some advice on how you can physically alleviate this moment. So in the beginning I collect everything in the free style, I take some of roses and fill the spaces between the roses with daisies and baby’s breath.n I just collect all the flowers in my hand by lightly squeezing them somewhere in the middle of the stem. When a hand tied bouquet is collected, the larger the diameter that is ultimately planned to be obtained, the lower along the stem you need to start grabbing. Practically the distance from the head of the rose to the grip in the hand is the radius of the finished product, approximately. Absolutely freely, without any scheme, I collect flowers, distributing them among myself, as if I were installing them in a vase and evenly filling all the free space with filler flowers. If I notice an empty space formed as a result of assembly, I simply insert a rose or daisy perpendicularly into it. Continuing to fill in a circle, I begin to insert flowers at an angle, sometimes in places several at once and sometimes towards each other with an angle. Flowers, as a rule, begin to cling to each other, as it were, forming a stable gridlock, if it is easier to explain, for example, a bird's nest and the assembled structure acquires sufficient strength. Now, around the entire circumference, I insert the prepared greens, first aspidistra and then palm leaves around. Sometimes when the bouquet is very large, I put on two elastic bands so that at the most inopportune moment the elastic does not burst and ruin everything. When the bouquet is ready, and look beautiful , round and proportional the rubber band can be cut and removed, you can replace it and secure with a floral tape or ribbon, for example. Now I need to wrap the bouquet and for this I choose a floral decorative mesh that matches the color. I cut off a piece absolutely by eye and fasten the cut edge with staples. I do this to give volume and also because the edges of the decorative mesh tend to cling to everything and can even ruin my customer's blouse by tightening it on it. Having wrapped the bouquet with a mesh, I again tighten it and fasten it with paper clips. Then I cover the visible stems of flowers with waxed decorative tissue paper to cover all the visible details of the work, of course you can do it differently, but in this case, do not forget to remove the rubber bands. Then I tear off the cellophane to size and wrap it in it, securing everything with clear scotch tape. The last detail is a luxurious bow. Which I also do myself using the twisting method, we have many videos about this on our channel, please watch . The flower stems are open and therefore if I need to store the bouquet for some time I put this bouquet in the container with water in it and place it in the refrigerator.
