white peony wedding bouquet
A white peony wedding bouquet can have quite an impact with very few flowers. This gorgeous design lets the beautiful peonies steal the show. To create a similar look, you'll need the following supplies:
- 10 White peonies
- 12 stems pink astilbe
- 1 bunch Lacey Dusty Miller
- Waterproof Tape
- #9 Ribbon Wrap for Handle
- Pearl Pins
- Finishing Touch or Crowning Glory
Peonies need to be kept refrigerated as long as possible to keep the flowers tight. If you haven't designed wedding flowers before, it is a good idea to skim through the hand tied bouquet tutorials.
To keep the rounded shape, used the spiral hand tie technique of crossing the stems. Alternate the peonies with the astilbe and the Dusty Miller. Once complete, wrap the stems with stem tape or waterproof tape. Conceal this tape with several wraps of ribbon and then fold the end, and pin the ribbon into place with corsage pins. Be sure the pin ends are securely pinned into flower stalks so not to leave any pointed edges that can tear hands or fabric.
Mist all finished bouquets with either Crowning Glory or Finishing Touch. Allow to dry, then store in refrigerator until needed.
