For a wedding bouquet, you can use not only noble roses or tulips, but also free field plants. Modest wild flowers are able to make the image of a girl going down the aisle, especially gentle and romantic.
When is it appropriate?
Bridal bridal bouquet of wild flowers is used mainly in summer. At such a time, these plants are available, and it is strange in the middle of winter to hold a bouquet of daisies or delphiniums in their hands. Elegant floral decorations "from the fields" are best suited for a wedding in a country style or in a rustic. Such a bouquet would emphasize the modesty and immediacy of the girl who marries.
Wild flowers in a wedding bouquet are quite rare in comparison with traditional decorations made of roses and gerberas. But in the lap of nature, a bride with such a decoration will look natural. Her image will long be remembered by all those invited.
What flowers to choose?
A bouquet of wildflowers can be variegated and seasoned in a specific color.
- To design a bouquet for a wedding of wildflowers, you can choose chamomile. In the flower arrangement they personify the purity, youth and naturalness of the bride. These "solar plants" come in different sizes and offer great opportunities for floristic creativity.
- Cornflower can also be selected as the main “ingredient” in the bouquet. He personifies loyalty and joy. To him in the company it is good to pick up other unpretentious wild flowers and ears of cereal plants.
- Dandelion - "sun" on the leg. Bouquets with such flowers are very joyful and emphasize the tenderness of the one that is decorated. A yellow flower can be used or turned into a fluffy white (in this case, it requires special treatment so as not to “shit” ahead of time).
- For a bouquet in a rustic style is quite suitable and cotton - white downy flowers. They will emphasize the femininity of the girl and will serve as a background for other plants included in the composition of the wedding decoration.
- Poppy makes a very impressive impression and can be the basis of a wedding bouquet. Emphasizes the passion of the nature of the bride. It goes well with white, blue and blue flowers.
- Sunflower is a symbol of joy and happy life. It also fits well into a bridal field bouquet, creating an optimistic mood.
- The bell looks in a bouquet very elegantly, symbolizing humility and constancy, which is important for marital relations.
- Delphiniums look no less beautiful in the bouquet. The most common instances of blue, blue or purple tones. Blue delphiniums personify love feelings and are the guardian of marriage. Already based on this, it makes sense to include them in the bridal bouquet.
How to do?
In order for the bouquet to retain its freshness until the end of the holiday, it is necessary to collect and preserve the plants in a certain way, which should become part of the composition. To achieve the desired result, you must follow a number of rules.
- Wildflowers do not usually sell in the store. Therefore, their collection will have to attend to in advance. It is best to do this the evening before the wedding.
- To bring the plants home fresh, you can not hold them in your hands throughout the collection and hike back home. From the warmth of the hands they will deteriorate faster. Therefore, going to the meadow, you need to take with you a basket or some other container in which the flowers will not hesitate.
- In the process of collecting the selected plants should not tear. It is better to cut them obliquely.It will prolong their lives.
- You can not collect wild flowers in the afternoon sun. It is better to do this in the morning or evening.
- For the flowers to stand up to the deadline, they need to be divided. For example, daisies with cornflowers can “live peacefully” in one vase, but dandelions and poppies should be arranged in different capacities.
- To increase the resistance of flowers, their stems for half a minute, immersed in hot water and pruned again. In a vase, cut fertilizer can be mixed with fertilizer and put flowers in a refrigerator.
It does not make sense to inquire just in case the processing of specific colors. If, for example, poppies have enough processing in hot water, then the cornflowers need to completely free the lower part of the stem from the leaves and shoots. In processed form, they will be able to preserve freshness for about seven days. Delphiniums with an empty stem can even better take water from a vase if they are “plugged” with a piece of cotton. Because of this, they will remain fresh for almost two weeks.
From the delphinium
When hand-writing a bouquet with wildflowers, you can first practice in this matter. It is advisable to determine in advance the field where flowers can be collected. This "experimental ground" will serve as a source of material for experiments, and only then for the final version of the bouquet. When composing bouquets, you can use different flowers until you find the very composition that can reflect the character of the bride, match her costume and the overall style of the wedding.
With a delphinium, for example, you can arrange a bouquet in blue tones. The composition in this color should tell about the patience of the one that it decorates, that the girl herself is always ready to help, but also needs care less.
To create a blue-blue bouquet, besides the delphinium, it is good to choose lavender, bluebells and other flowers in similar colors. The combination of blue and blue with white tones will look striking.
In order for the plants to be distributed evenly in the composition in the bouquet, they need to be applied to the stem in a spiral. To achieve this, it is necessary each time to put them against each other. When completing the flower arrangement, it is important to apply various accessories so as not to make the bouquet “heavy”. Sometimes it is enough to wrap the stems with a blue ribbon or arrange a bouquet with an organza of the appropriate color to make it look complete.
The form
It is important to ensure that the composition of wildflowers tends to a certain shape (for example, rounded or oval). Otherwise, instead of a bouquet, you can get a shaggy broom. The type of composition from meadow plants can be specified using a wicker basket. If it is supplemented with ribbons or beads, this may be enough to highlight the floral beauty. You can choose a round or square basket or a heart shape. It all depends on the ideas of the developer of the bouquet. You can also set the shape of the composition by wrapping the flowers with thick paper of a neutral shade.
