hand-tied bouquet with peonies, sweetpeas and alchimella
Last week, I posted pictures of a botanical shoe & purse from the intimate bridalshow Art of Weddings at the Armory earlier this month. A flower purse and different styles of bridal bouquets were also showcased. The whimsical bouquet, as well as the woodland one are constructed differently than the hand-tied. These technique allows for much more detail!
A huge thank you to Jamie Bosworth who graciously took pictures of the arrangements in her studio the following day. The props were generously donated by Vintagerentaldept.
Earlier this year Smithers-Oasis introduced 'European square and round bouquet holders'. The square ones are 7"x7" and the round ones are 7.5" in diameter.
I was thrilled. When I started making detailed woodland bridal bouquets a few years ago I had figured out a way to create a thin broad oasis base; it required a fair amount of prep work.
Buying these holders would be much easier! Design possibilities are endless. I have used them to make woodland bridal bouquets; here is something different:

Imagine that when the exquisite textured little orange cap drops, a brilliant yellow feathery blossom appears. One of my favorites!
