The Boutonniere |
|
Whether Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a wedding or anniversary, there
are plenty of occasions to celebrate using specialty flower arrangements.
Here’s how to make a boutonniere for a dress or jacket lapel.
Supplies:
- Florist tape (available at most florist’s shops or craft stores)
- clippers
- 1 chive blossom (a rose makes a great alternative)
- a sprig of fresh ivy
- a sprig of fresh rosemary, the top of which is trimmed into
a point
Method:
Gather the chive blossom and sprigs of ivy and rosemary into a small
bunch. Using florist tape start taping the bunch together close
to the blooms and graduating down toward the bottom of the stems.
Snip the stems of the flowers so they’re nice and short. Continue
twisting the florist tape past the end of the shortened stems into
a point about a quarter of an inch past the bottom of the stems.
Add a nice pin and then place onto yours or your partner’s dress
or lapel. |
