Traditional with a Twist

Curl the Rustic Grapevine Wire with pliers into neat circles making one long framework and two shorter pieces. Secure the curls together where necessary with Bindwire. Finish the back of the OASIS® Countess Bouquet Holder by gluing in place Hedera leaves, and then use Wire Edged Organza Ribbon around the handle.
Soak the holder and drain excess water away. Use a variety of foliage to mask the floral foam and create the outline of the bouquet. Ensure the foliage outline is placed well back around the perimeter of the floral foam to give the finished bouquet an interesting profile. Secure the Rustice Grapevine Wire frames firmly into the floral foam with long wire hairpins.
To aid security make sure the stem ends of the flowers are cut diagonally and pushed well into the floral foam. Wire the stem ends with a double wire mount support for additional anchorage if necessary. Add the long Zantedeschia first, followed by three Roses in the focal area. Fill in around these Roses with Eustoma and Muscari, tucking Bouvardia and Daucus between and finishing with sprigs of Rosemary. Check all the floral foam is covered then spray with OASIS® Floralife® Finishing Touch to aid longer life.
