An Unusual Bridal Bouquet – Floral Design

This page documents the making of a bridal bouquet outside the usual conventions. The photographs also show some stages of its construction: a bouquet of considerable size, but with a structure designed to remain light enough to carry.

A bouquet is not designed only for the final image. Shape, proportions, weight, movement, season and its relationship with the dress all need to work together. The choice of flowers and construction technique therefore depends on the specific project rather than on a model to be repeated.

It is an artisan piece that requires a balance between the idea, the materials and how the bouquet will actually be used during the day.
