2. Wiring Cymbidium Orchids

3. Using Cowee Picks


Cowee Picks extend the length of flowers and help them stay secure in bouquets.




4. Green Roses


Green roses are newer varieties introduced in the last 10 years. They add wonderful color to this modern bouquet.





5. Hot Pink Roses


The contrast of the Hot Pink roses against the cool green of the orchids and Jade roses will create a bouquet that is stunning.






6. Hot Pink Gerber Daisies


The hot pink Gerber daisies used in this bouquet are of the miniature variety so to keep the heads in reasonable proporation with the other secondary flowers.




7. Wiring Viburnum


Viburnum should be wired and sometimes attached to Coween picks for added stability when inserted into the OASIS foam.





8. Filling in Mass Flowers


Mass flowers can be helpful in filling in holes and help hide the mechanics without the use of greenery.





9. Hypericum Berries


Hypericum berries add a lot of interest and texture to this bridal bouquet design.






10. Light Pink roses


Light pink roses give some depth color contrast against the other more vibrant colors of this design.






11. Button Pomps



Button pomps are a delightful member of the chrysanthemum family and have become extremely popular as a filler flower.






12. Creating the Faux Hand Tie


There are several advantages to using a florist foam bouquet holder, while still achieving the look of a hand tied bouquet.






Decorative Wire Wrap


Decorative wire is so much fun to use and is one of the newest products in the florist design industry.






14. Bridal Bouquet Jewelry


Bridal bouquet jewelry is frequently used to create a bouquet with instant glamour and sparkle. Here are some great ideas using bouquet jewelry by Lomey.
