How-to: Create a Fringed Bouquet

Posted by George Worman on 26th Jun 2018

For this fringed bouquet we decided to reuse a fringed ring from a previous project as the base which can be found here

Whether you're having a traditional wedding or a non traditional festival wedding, we think this quirky and personalised wedding bouquet will add a truly unique touch to any wedding. So why not have a go at making your own fringed bouquet using fresh flowers or artificial flowers from our wide range here at Country Baskets?

What you will need:

Fringed Ring

Floristry Stub Wire

Stemtex Olive Tape

Hot Melt Glue Gun

Clear Tape

Anaphora 4ply Yarn (find in store)

Cardboard

Paper

Fresh Flowers/Artificial Flowers

Step One:

To begin, Wrap a small cluster of stub wire in stemtex. Make sure you leave a section of wires exposed at the top for the next step.

Step Two:

Insert the exposed stub wires into the centre of a circular piece of card that measures around 23cm in circumference and bend out the exposed wires to create a frame. Tape in place to secure.

Step Three:

Create the handle for the bouquet by wrapping the stub wire in yarn and secure using a glue gun.

Step Four:

Using a glue gun, glue the handle onto the fringed ring base.

Step Five:

Glue a piece of card or fancy paper into the centre of the fringed ring. This will create a base for the flower heads to stick to.

Step Six:

Add some accessories to the design by hanging pompoms from the ring.

Step Seven:

To finish the design, tie a pompom or two to the ring and start building up the floral arrangement by sticking flower heads to the card/paper base using Oasis floral adhesive.

And there you have it! An untraditional wedding bouquet that is perfect for a festival wedding or any wedding that requires a unique finishing touch.
