Review #7 - Hand Bouquets

Assalamualaikum. 

Kali ni nak review pasal hand bouquets untuk semua events dari akad nikah ke bertandang. Semuanya D.I.Y dari fresh flowers ke brooch. Memandangkan sikit je nak cerita pasal hand bouquets ni, so I pukul rata bagi habis review semua hehe.

1 -  Akad Nikah

Just guna pink roses dan buat yang simple saje. Memang nak yang macam tu je plus masa dah tak mengizinkan I buat yang lebih complicated. Banyak lagi hantaran nak dibuat kan on that day. So, yang simple menjadi idaman hati.

Rose tu I beli satu bundle ada dalam 20 kuntum, 2 kuntum I sendiri dah patah kan, so tinggallah 18 kuntum je. Tak besar, tak kecik untuk I yang kentot dan buntal ni T__T

2 - Bersanding - Kemasik, Terengganu

Totally love this one. Fully baby's breath. Tak besar pun bunga ni. Just nice je. I nak something yang boleh bagi effect lembut since baju I memang simple saje. Al-maklumlah beading sendiri kan.

3 -  Bertandang, Taman Botani Putrajaya

I guna 25 brooches yang I beli dekat Kenanga, artificial hydrangea beli dekat SSF dan letak je lebihan ribbon. Yang ni paling awal siap sebab tak guna fresh flowers kan. Ingatkan dah terkubur idea nak D.I.Y hand bouquet ni sebab tak jumpa cari brooch yang dalam budget. Tapi sebab nak sangat, cari sampai jumpa. Akhirnya..masa wedding boleh senyum lebar hahaha

 

Brooch hand bouquet for rental..atau ada yang nak tempah hand bouquet lain pun lai lai..=)

Baby's Breath

Assalamualaikum...

Hari ni I nak share betapa I dah jatuh hati dengan baby's breath flower. Bagi I bunga ni nampak soft je. Eventho tak banyak pilihan colour macam bunga-bunga lain, tp still I suke=)

I nak share sikit wedding decos and hand bouquets menggunakan baby's breath

Cantik, kan?;)

So, I google tips to do the arrangement..then I jumpa kat SINI

10 Baby's Breath Dos and Dont's

• Do buy one, three or five flowers (odd numbers always look best) beautiful flowers and ask for a little foliage to go with them.
• Do separate the baby's breath by cutting apart the longer branches.  Tuck these smaller branches into large gaps between the flowers. This will give the arrangement a more balanced and elegant look.
• Do make sure the baby's breath is fresh and the flowers are white. Old baby's breath  turns brown and may have broken flowers. This makes the entire arrangement look old.
• Do add it to arrangements that are more traditional or romantic in style. Use it when you want that "just picked from the garden" look. Use baby's breath with light-colored roses, carnations, lisianthus and alstroemeria.
• Do try using other fillers such as solidago, caspia,statice, wax flower or hypericum berries.
• Don't use a truckload of baby's breath with a few flowers thinking it will make your arrangement look like you spent more money on it. Trust me.  It won't.
• Don't use an entire stem of baby's breath. It's too big and will overpower the flower arrangement.
• Don't just grab the baby's breath and stick it into a floral arrangement or bouquet.
• Don't insist on putting baby's breath into every floral arrangement. It will do more harm than good. Because it is used so often n cheap floral arrangements, it can make a perfectly beautiful bouquet from a florist look like one you picked up at the corner store.
• Don't resist the urge to think outside of the baby's breath box. A flower arrangement of just small vases of baby's breath for a baby shower is a sweet idea.

Kalau ada yang baca blog I ni dan pernah/tengah/akan buat anything guna this flower...do share with me ya!=)
