How To Make A Rose Composite Bouquet

Rose is the most used flower for this bouquet, besides gladiolus.

A composite bouquet or a glameria is a single bloom bouquet carried by brides who love the old English style.

First, we have to prepare...

• 4 white roses

• artificial leaves

• floral wire

• floral stem

• spanish moss

• a strand of pearls

• a strand of wrapped rose petals

• copper wire

Now, let's start making...

• Take one full bloom rose. This will be center of the bouquet. Take the floral wire and insert it into the rose stem and bend on both sides. Put in a bowl of clean water to maintain its freshness.

• Take the other 3 roses and separate the petals piece by piece and put them in a container of water, too.

• Next, we have to bend the wires to the shape we need. Here, is a picture I took of the wires I've already prepared. To do this, you need to take about 20 cmof floral wire and bend it into two. Leave 1 cm between the two legs. Then, take the pliers and bend the 1 cm part a bit.

• While holding 2 pieces of petals overlapping each other, take a shaped wire and poke it at the bottom of the petals. Take another wire and insert from the back of the petals. Then slightly twist the end of the wires, just like what I did here.

• Do the same with all the petals while leaving the ready ones in the water.

• When that's done, take the center rose and attach the wire petals to it one by one. Tape the wires together using floral tape when it's too much to handle.

• Keep on building until it has become one big rose.

• Put artificial leaves at the sides to make it look like a real rose and secure the leaves with copper wire.

• Most people would tie ribbons to this bouquet but to add more interest to it, I added a string of pearls and wrapped rose petals to the glameria stem and secure them with copper wire also.

• As a finishing touch, I add a bit of spanich moss to the pearls just to give it more volume.

And that's how I did my own rose composite bouquet.
