Branches and Roses

This bouquet comes from our new floral book and was one of the quickest and easiest bouquets to make.

I wanted to give a small drawing of the mechanics below. The main part of the construction of this bouquet is first, make sure the oasis is placed a good measure higher than the rim of the container. Next, secure the branches into the oasis on both sides before beginning the design.

Too, you will want to add the roses before other ingredients as they will help to hold the branches in place until you have the other items added.

As I brought the branches around, I left a few to drape down in front of the vase, as shown to the right.
