Contempory Bridal Bouquet

Step 1. Use hot glue to stick Rustic Grapevine Wire around the handle and the back of the bouquet holder. Take 4 long lengths of Bindwire and double them. Make the first circle of Rustic Grapevine Wire to the same diameter as the base of the OASIS® Wedding Belle® cage to ensure the collar fits snugly to the holder. Attach the doubled Bindwire at even intervals around the ring and twist into place. Continue making circles with the Rustic Grapevine Wire, holding each circle firm with a twist of Bindwire. Approximately twelve to fifteen circles will make a good collar. Glue the collar in place around the OASIS® Wedding Belle® cage. |

Step 2. Curl the ends of long tentacles of Rustic Grapevine Wire and attach them at varying lengths through the collar, wiring or gluing into the floral foam. Cover the edge of the floral foam with Finland Moss. |

Step 3. Spray the OASIS® Wedding Belle® with water until damp. Do not over soak the foam. Group the foliage around the edges making sure the stems are pushed well into the floral foam. Add two groups of Anthuriums, wiring the stems if necessary to ensure secure anchorage. Tuck Hypericum berries into the centre with Brunia, Chincerinchee and Spray Chrysanthemum. A stem of Phalaenopsis makes the focal point with trails of Amaranthus giving texture to one side. Again wire the stems if necessary for support and anchorage. Finally use OASIS® Floral Adhesive to glue Chincherinhee and Phalaenopsis heads to the extensions. Use Finland Moss to cover any floral foam showing, once complete, spray with OASIS® FLORALIFE® Finishing Touch to guarantee longer life for the flowers. |
