Classification by event

There are many events in life, but there are several special ones, which are often decorated with floristic bouquet compositions.

Bridal bouquet

Making wedding bouquets is one of the most interesting creative processes for florists, because a wedding is an incredibly impressive event, in the center of which one important person shines - the bride.

And the wedding day is special when any bride wants to look perfect. A beautiful bouquet in gentle hands will help to emphasize this ideality.

But it is worth remembering that the assembly of a wedding bouquet depends on the following factors:

Colors of the wedding event;
The appearance of the bride;
Favorite flowers of the bride;
The shape of the bouquet is selected based on the style of the wedding dress;
The harmony of the bride's image as a whole.

If the bouquet is poorly chosen and does not take into account these important factors, then the bride's mood may deteriorate, and the whole event may go unsuccessfully.

To create wedding bouquets, florists take various flowers, these are hydrangeas, and orchids, and chrysanthemums, and exotic options. But the most popular of all is undoubtedly the rose.

This beautifully named flower has been added to the composition more than a million times. The rose looks great both in mono and multi-bouquet. Therefore, choosing a rose as the basis of a wedding bouquet, the florist will never make a mistake.

New Year's bouquet

New Year is a bright holiday associated with snowy winter, magical mood and gifts under the tree. And New Year's compositions convey the spirit of this holiday to the fullest.

Florists create New Year's bouquets not only for donation, but also as elements for decorating the interiors of apartments, houses and offices.

When composing these winter bouquets, both natural and artificial coniferous branches are used as the main materials. Decorate them with candles, pine cones, Christmas decorations and balls, sweets and lollipops, ribbons and tinsel.

The compositions also contain some flowers and fruits. Of the flowers, preference is traditionally given to amaryllis, carnations, gerberas, red roses and a Christmas flower - poinsettia. From fruits - citrus fruits, mainly oranges and tangerines.

Massive New Year's compositions are collected in large baskets and complement them along with festive elements with candy boxes, bottles of alcohol, for example, martinis or champagne. Interesting floristic greenery is also added to such bouquets, among which hypericum is most popular.

Florists decorate other varieties of New Year's bouquets, the content of which the bouquet depends only on personal wishes and preferences.

Jubilee bouquet

An anniversary reflects an important milestone in life and is expressed in a round date in a person's life or an important event associated with an event. A bouquet for such an event should be original and luxurious, and symbolize a wide range of feelings, including love and respect.

A bouquet for such an event should be original and luxurious, and symbolize a wide range of feelings, including love and respect.

If the anniversary is associated with a birthday, then the personal preferences of the gifted birthday person or birthday girl are taken into account. But in the absence of preferences for women, flowers of red, white and yellow shades are chosen, such as orchids, roses, chrysanthemums and eustomas.For men, blue and blue, red and orange shades are selected.

If the celebration is associated with a significant date in life, then the compositions are performed in an original form, the most suitable among which will be a bouquet-heart, a bouquet-ship, flowers in a hat box.

Corporate bouquet

Many companies decorate their offices with flower bouquets to create a cozy atmosphere for employees' work, corporate events or to prepare a meeting with partners.

Flower arrangements in offices can be seen at conferences and seminars, round tables, presentations and negotiations.

For ordinary office events and when communicating with partners, preference is given to bouquets in strict and simple proportions of small volumes. Such bouquets are collected using a floral sponge and placed in small baskets, wooden pedestals or glass containers. The range of such bouquets can be monotonous or with small bright accents.

For festive corporate events, compositions are selected colorful and elegant. They are placed in prominent places, decorate tables and important areas. Plants with large flowers such as anthurium, calla lilies, roses and large chrysanthemums are preferred.

Another interesting classification would be the grouping of bouquets by country.

Corrugated paper roses

Corrugated paper roses can be made in several ways. They differ significantly, as a result of which completely different compositions or blanks of flowers will be obtained, which can be used in the future to create any kind of craft. In the simplest version, ready-made paper flowers are simply made up in the form of a bouquet and placed in a beautiful vase.

So, to create a rose, you will need materials:

paper of any suitable shade;
if necessary, take green paper to create the stem and leaves;
wire;
scissors;
PVA glue;
thick cardboard;
pencil is simple.

There are two ways to make a rose from corrugated paper should be considered. One method is more complicated, but the second can be done in a few minutes.

Rose made of paper and candy, video:

Method 1 - collecting petals

The first method implies a kind of meticulousness of the whole process.

Draw rose petals of different sizes on thick cardboard. It is recommended to use 3-4 templates. If you use more, the rose will look better.
Cut out all the painted petals and prepare corrugated paper in red, scarlet, white or pink shades.
Fold the paper like an accordion, keeping in mind the width of the largest petal.
Attach all the blanks to the paper and cut out large quantities of petals from it at once. The petals should be prepared for assembly. To do this, stretch the edges of each corrugated paper by grasping them at the two rounded corners. In the middle of the petal with your finger, make a notch inside the future bud.
Prepare the leaves for the future rose according to the same principle, if necessary. You should not stretch the edges of the leaves; you can give the shape already in the process of attaching or after all the actions are completed.
Take a wire and cut several pieces of equal length. Connect them in your hand, bend one formed end with a pair of pliers. This will be the “core” of the bud.
Wrap the wire core with the smallest petal, after gluing the lower part of the paper blank to the future stem.
Form the bud by gradually gluing the petals in accordance with the sizes - from smallest to largest.
Wrap the base of the bud several times with a green ribbon, a thin strip of corrugated paper or green thread, creating a sepal.
Continue wrapping around the entire stem from the sepal, previously gluing the prepared leaves to the wire in suitable places.
Attach the material used to form the stem at the end with PVA glue.
Spread all the petals, leaves. Let the flower dry.

Make several of these and place them in a vase. You will have a beautiful bouquet. You can also make roses in a similar way for subsequent arrangement in a wicker basket. Be creative.

Perhaps you only need the buds, then the wire stem is cut off at the end of the bud formation and sepals, leaving a small margin of 1-2 cm.

Using the presented method, they collect any autumn flowers from corrugated paper with their own hands, in which petals are present. An exception may be the preparation of pistils and stamens. In addition, the cores may differ slightly, but the attachment of the petals almost always occurs in the described way.

Method 2 - twisting the paper strip

The second way to make a rose is simpler, not taking even 10 minutes. Prepare a long strip of red corrugated paper with a width of about 7-10 cm. One long edge must be finished, shaping the finished edge of the cake.

If desired, such a bud can also be pre-planted on a special wire blank and make a whole bunch of roses in 1.5-2 hours.

Use the presented methods, creating in the future whole compositions of roses. You can make a composition only from buds, gluing them to cardboard blanks during the creation process or as usual.

Women's bouquets embody the flight of imagination of any florist, because in their composition they use both heterogeneous materials, including unusual ones, as well as various forms of composition, as well as trends.

Nevertheless, despite such a variety of women's bouquets, there are some important things to consider when composing them:

Female age - it is preferable for young girls to give flowers in pastel colors with delicate buds, for young women more juicy and bright shades are suitable, in old age a moderate color scheme is more suitable, where bright accents are allowed;
The degree of kinship and closeness is one of the most important factors. Flowers can be intended for a mother, wife, beloved in one case, or an acquaintance, friend, colleague in another case. In the first option, the bouquet is created with special care and tenderness, therefore, the flowers are selected that will convey all important feelings and attitudes. In the second case, it is better to dwell on the classic versions of bouquets with widely known flowers, among which the most common option is roses;
A woman's preferences - regardless of all the rules, every woman loves flowers of certain shades, for one it is yellow, for another it is lilac, for the third - scarlet. The same goes for the shape of the composition.

Therefore, it is important for the florist to know about this in order to choose the flowers of the desired shade and make the bouquet much more pleasant.

Men's bouquet

Men, along with women, can receive a flower bouquet as a gift. But the floristic composition presented to a strong representative of humanity will be strikingly different from others.

A man's bouquet of flowers is distinguished by such characteristic features as:

Lack of delicate colors, preference is given to bright, saturated colors, for example, scarlet, blue and purple;
Use of flowers that do not smell or stain clothes;
Applying an elongated assembly shape, pyramidal or triangular, and no round or spherical options;
Laconic textured packaging.

In this regard, not all flowers are suitable for decorating a male composition. Plants such as alstroemeria, gerberas, calla lilies, irises and long varieties of roses will look stylish. A good addition to them would be bamboo and holly greens.

It is also allowed to add beautiful bottles with alcohol, coffee and various gift accessories to the composition.

Baby bouquet

Children's bouquets are made in the form of mini compositions.The most common species here are small bouquets, animal bouquets or toys, for example, hares, bears, dolls, cars. Bouquets in the form of cartoon characters are also very popular.

Many flower bouquets are arranged in the form of compositions in a basket, box or purse with the addition of sweets or kinder surprises.
