Have you ever dreamed of becoming a little florist: to create beautiful and stylish bouquets, to decorate the house with flowers and to please loved ones? Open the book "Flower recipes" of the publishing house "Mann, Ivanov and Ferber", in which more than 100 variations of flower compositions are collected. Bouquets of artichokes, succulents and orchids, bright combinations of tulips, sunflowers and acacias, cocktails made of dahlias, roses and lion's ears - all this can be done by yourself, with your own hands.
To "prepare" a beautiful, modest or magnificent flower arrangement, you need ingredients - roses, lilies, peonies or other flowers you like, vases - tin cans or porcelain mugs, and a floral tape that will help to consolidate the result. Have chosen 3 recipes of tender spring bouquets.
Dahlias
Flowers
- 5 hydrangeas
- 3 blue thistles
- 7 dahlias
- 5 Cosmic
Dishes
- Metal container in the form of a cylinder
- Find a simple metal container, so that it accommodates a volume dense composition.
- Cut the stems of hydrangeas in the height of the vase. Lush inflorescences should close the edge. Dip the slices into burnt alum and put the flowers in the vase.
- Refresh the thistles of the thistle and distribute the flowers between the hydrangeas. The blue heads of the thistle must rise above the base colors. (Several flowers grow on one stem of a thistle, so some heads will be higher than others.)
- Cut the stalks of dahlias and place them between the hydrangeas. Dahlias should lie on a pillow of hydrangeas. Distribute the thistle between the soft inflorescences, so that the arrangement is circular. At the end, add the cosmets to make them a few centimeters taller than all the elements.
Hydrangeas
Flowers
- 1 hydrangea
- 5 sprigs of blackberry
- 9 succulents on wires and skewers
- 8 branches of flowering oregano
Materials
- 1 meter of narrow tape
- Take a hydrangea at the base of the flower under the leaves.
- Add blackberry branches, pushing them between the individual flowers. Berries should be located a few centimeters above the flower.
- Push succulents through the inflorescence of hydrangeas. Their heads should lie on a soft base of flowers. Group most of the succulents in the left side of the bouquet.
- Add one sprig of flowering oregano from behind and just above the other elements, so that it gracefully falls to the left. The remaining stems of oregano spread throughout the bouquet. Tighten the base of the bouquet under the leaves of the hydrangea with floral tape. To hide the teip, wrap it with decorative tape. Finish the bouquet by tying a simple bow.
Roses
Flowers
- 4 stalks of stachis
- 6 roses
- 2 chrysanthemums (arachnids)
- 4 asclepies
Dishes
- Ceramic handmade vase in the form of a cylinder
- Find a vase of pastel colors, harmoniously complementing the tranquil colors of the arrangement.
- Take three branches of stachis, peel off the lower leaves and put it in the vase on the left. The bottom leaves should lie on the neck of the vase.
- Cut the stems of five roses along the height of the vase and add it to the arrangement. The remaining roses make a few centimeters longer and on the right.
- Cut the stem of one of the chrysanthemums in the height of the vase and place the flower at the right edge. Stalk the second chrysanthemum leave a long one so it is visible due to other colors in the background. Update the cut on the stalk of asklepias and put it in the vase, it should be slightly higher than the roses on the left. At the end, fill empty spaces with the remaining stems of asklepias and add a twig of stachis.
