composite rose bouquet
A composite rose bouquet is an old fashioned technique of layering petal again and again, creating a large composite bloom. It's best to use floral adhesive so to avoid damage to the actual petals.
As a florist, I love browsing through the videos on wedding designs and enjoy sharing my favorites with my own visitors. This lovely tutorial comes from Bloomtube.
Keep in mind that this style bouquet has to be kept refrigerated and won't have as long of a life as a traditional bouquet where the flowers are kept intact and their stems in a continual water source.
For this bouquet, you'll need:
- 12 - 18 Standard Roses (depending on size of rose petals)
- 10-12 blades of Lily Grass
- 1 bridal bouquet holder
- 1 liter natural excelsior (shredded wood filler)
- 1 tube Oasis floral adhesive
- Green enameled 22 or 24 gauge florist wire
- Green Stem Wrap
- Finishing Touch flower sealant
