Hanging Bouquet
Materials:
Large raffia fibers
Floral shears
Floral wire (optional)
Ribbon (for hanging)
Flowers:
- Lavender flowers
- Goldenrod stalks
- Pale pink fescue grass
- Larkspur blooms
Instructions:
- Gather your materials and choose a variety of lavender flowers, goldenrod stalks, pale pink fescue grass, and larkspur blooms in different sizes and stages of bloom for visual interest.
- Cut the raffia fibres to your desired length, keeping in mind the final size of the bouquet. You can use a single long piece or bunch several pieces together for a thicker look.
- Start assembling the bouquet by placing the larger blooms, like the goldenrod stalks, in the centre. Arrange them to create a base and establish the overall structure.
- Add the lavender flowers, distributing them evenly throughout the bouquet. Fill in any gaps with the wispy pale pink fescue grass, allowing it to cascade naturally.
- Tuck the delicate larkspur blooms in between the other flowers, adding pops of colour and a touch of elegance.
- Secure the bouquet by carefully wrapping the raffia fibres around the stems at the base. You can twist the raffia to tighten and create a stable bundle. For added security, use floral wire to further secure the stems.
- Tie a ribbon around the raffia fibres to create a hanger. Choose a ribbon colour that complements the flowers in your bouquet.
- Hang your beautiful handmade bouquet in a cool, well-lit location away from direct sunlight
