    I love the mix I love the way it looks actually I do like things that are abstract let's say but I also like many many different textures colors I also like monochromatic as well as tertiary I just think anything is natural nature nature just look at nature it's gorgeous all colors all shapes textures so what I'm trying to say is it looks brilliant and I'm a new subscriber I've enjoyed watching

    This is really helpful. I wish it was zoomed out a little, though, so I could watch your entire arrangement vs part of it. I love the flower combination that was used for this bouquet. Pro Tip: keep all of the little flowers you remove from the lower parts of the stems to use in boutonnieres and cake flowers!

    Love this beautiful bouquet! Will the gladioli last very long out of water? Also what is the name of the lovely white roses. Thanks

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 5 lety +1

      Hi Carol, The glads do last pretty well! I always say if you're not sure, just leave one out on your design bench while you're working and check on it after a few hours! Prepping and hydrating well beforehand helps, of course! And the white rose is La Playa Blanca.

  • @catherineross9228

    Hi Alison, I really loved watching this. Could I ask you a question? I have seen some videos showing a bridal bouquet made with a little foam posy holder and as I am doing the flowers for my daughter for her wedding, I wonder if you think that's easier for a novice? Or do you think it results in that very "stiff" look when I'm actually trying to make something a bit "loose" and organic. Would be interested to hear if you had any advice. Thank you. Love your bouquet, it's just gorgeous and the colours are perfect.

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 2 lety

      Hi Catherine! Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding! I would do a hand-tied bouquet--and practice a bit beforehand. A bouquet holder is much harder to design in because the surface area is small AND flower stems easily fall out if they are not secured with glue or floral picks. So stick with the classic hand-tied bouquet if you are doing the floral work. It's a big, messy job so make sure you leave enough time so you can also enjoy the festivities! xo.

  • @sonyasones

    I LOVE this tutorial! Thank you so much! How wide is your ribbon? 1.5 or 2inches? and your waterproof tape is .5 inch, right?

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 2 lety

      Thanks so much, Sonya. The ribbon is 1.5" and the tape is probably 1/4"--it's not very thick, but it's not the thinnest either!

    Do you also make the bouquet using artificial flowers?

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 2 lety

      You can certainly use this technique for artificial flowers as well. I don't use faux flowers often so I am usually designing with fresh!

  • @JannieMette
    @JannieMette Před 4 lety

    Im a floral designer (- educated in Copenhagen, men Denmark 2007), been owner for 3 flower boutiques, and a manager in 2.
    I really don’t understand your technique. You don’t use any leafs to give it some volume and ensure your “attachment point”. At the same time you use flowers as Matthiola and Delphinium (what it looks like) and they seem to be hidden away when you choose a loose rococo bouquet.
    Again - I’m from Denmark, so maybe this is just a difference from country to country?

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi Jannie, This bouquet was for a bride who did not want any greenery, and the style here is a "spiral hand-tied bouquet".
      I suppose it could be a design difference between European style and the spiral I was taught here in the U.S.
      This is a very basic technique for a simple bridal bouquet.

    • @user-cl5fn2zw5x
      @user-cl5fn2zw5x Před 3 lety

      Hate to not sound as enthusiastic as everyone else. There are a lot of different flowers in this bouquet, but they don't seem to compliment each other either in shape or color.

  • @xomiradaox
    @xomiradaox Před 5 lety

    How long will the gladiolas last like that?

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 5 lety +1

      As long as anything wired for a corsage or bout!...it'll last a day or two, no problem...if they're conditioned well (ie fresh when you wire them, mist the with water and/or crowning glory, store them in the cooler).

      Have you heard of Petaldriven.com I'd start there! There are many places that will ship across the country so you should have some options out there!

    • @user-cl5fn2zw5x
      @user-cl5fn2zw5x Před 3 lety +1

      While it's fantastic to make your own, do think about how much stress doing your own flowers for your own wedding will add to yourself and others involved with the wedding. If it's a small wedding and simple stuff you are doing then it could be fun. But if it's a medium to big wedding and you are looking for fancier styles and flowers, you'd probably want to leave it to the pro. Because there are so many variables and unexpected things that could go wrong given the fragile nature of fresh flowers and their availability.....

      If you don’t find the instructions in this tutorial helpful enough I am sure you’ll find another tutorial out there. I’m showing the closer look at where I’m placing the stems to get a spiral-that’s the key to getting the technique right.

    Beautiful but a little too big for bridal bouquet 💐

    • @realflowerbusiness
      @realflowerbusiness  Před 5 lety +3

      Glad you like the bouquet! I tend to find the size of a bouquet should be made in relation to the style of the dress, the size and shape of the client, the overall "wow" factor or prominence of flowers at the wedding....so whether it's big or "just right" is relative to many other style elements!
