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 walking down the aisle, especially gentle and romantic.
When is it appropriate?
The bride’s wedding bouquet of wildflowers is used mainly in the summer. At such a time, these plants are available, and it is strange to hold a bouquet of daisies or delphiniums in the midst of winter. Elegant floral decorations "from the fields" are best suited for a wedding in a country style or in a rustic. Such a bouquet is the best way to emphasize the modesty and spontaneity of a girl who is getting married.
Wildflowers in a wedding bouquet are quite rare in comparison with traditional ornaments of roses and gerberas. But in the bosom of nature the bride with such an adornment will look natural. Her image will be remembered for a long time by everyone invited.
Which flowers to choose?
A bouquet of wildflowers can be variegated, and sustained in a certain color.
- To design a wedding bouquet of wildflowers, you can choose daisies. 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 floral design.
- Cornflower can be selected as the main “component” in the bouquet. He personifies fidelity and joy. To him in the company it is good to pick up other unpretentious wildflowers 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 it has already turned into fluffy white (in this case, it requires special treatment so as not to “grow bald” ahead of time).
- For a bouquet in a rustic style, cotton is quite suitable - white downy flowers. They will emphasize the femininity of the girl and serve as a backdrop for other plants included in the composition of the wedding decoration.
- The poppy makes a very impressive impression and can be the basis of a wedding bouquet. Emphasizes the passion of nature of the bride. It goes well with white, blue and blue colors.
- Sunflower is a symbol of joy and a happy life. Also fits well in a wedding field bouquet, creating an optimistic mood.
- The bell looks very elegant in the bouquet, symbolizing humility and constancy, which is important for marital relations.
- Delphiniums look no less beautiful in a bouquet. Most often there are instances of blue, blue or purple tones. Blue delphiniums embody love feelings and are a charm of marriage. Already on this basis, it makes sense to include them in a wedding bouquet.
How to make?
In order for the bouquet to keep fresh until the end of the holiday, it is necessary to collect and preserve 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 are not usually sold at the store. Therefore, their collection will have to attend to in advance. This is best done on the evening before the wedding.
- To bring plants home fresh, you can not hold them in your hands throughout the collection and trek back home. From the heat of the hands, they will deteriorate faster. Therefore, going to the meadow, you need to bring along a basket or some other container in which the flowers will not be remembered.
- During the collection process, selected plants should not be torn. Better cut them obliquely. It will prolong their life.
- You cannot pick wildflowers under the midday sun. It is better to do this in the morning or evening.
- In order for the flowers to survive until the due date, they must be divided. For example, daisies with cornflowers can “coexist peacefully” in one vase, but dandelions and poppies need to be arranged in different containers.
- To increase the resistance of flowers, their stems are immersed in hot water for half a minute and pruned again. In a vase, you can mix fertilizer with the cut flowers and put the flowers in a refrigerator.
It is not without reason to just in case, take an interest in processing specific colors. If, for example, poppies have enough treatment in hot water, then in the cornflowers the lower part of the stem must be completely freed from leaflets and shoots. In processed form, they will be able to maintain 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 wool. Thanks to this, they will remain fresh for almost two weeks.
From the delphinium
With your own hand drawing up a bouquet with wildflowers, you can first practice in this matter. It is advisable to determine in advance the clearing where you can collect the flowers. This "experimental training ground" will serve as a source of material for experiments, and only then for the final version of the bouquet. Composing bouquets, you can use different flowers until you find the very composition that can reflect the nature of the bride, match her costume and the general style of the wedding.
With the delphinium, for example, you can arrange a bouquet in blue tones. A composition in this color should say about the patience of the one that he adorns, that the girl herself is always ready to help, but she also needs custody no less.
To create a blue-blue bouquet, in addition to the delphinium, it is good to choose lavender, bells and other flowers in similar colors. A combination of blue and blue with white tones will look catchy.
In order for the plants to be distributed evenly in the composition during the connection process in the bouquet, they need to be applied to the stem in a spiral fashion. To achieve this, it is necessary each time to set them against each other. At the end of the flower arrangement, it is important to use various accessories so as not to make the bouquet “heavy.” Sometimes it’s enough to wrap the stems with a blue ribbon or arrange a bouquet with an organza of a suitable color so that it acquires a complete look.
The form
It is important to ensure that the composition of wildflowers strives for a certain shape (for example, round or oval). Otherwise, instead of a bouquet, you can get a shaggy broom. The appearance of the composition of meadow plants can be set using a wicker basket. If it is supplemented with ribbons or beads, this may be enough to emphasize the floral beauty. You can choose a round or square basket or a heart shape. It all depends on the idea 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 hue.
