In our next installment of We Predict! we’re going to talk a little about something old becoming new again!
We Predict we’ll see an increased number of these beautiful arrangements! The Composite Bouquet!
The concept behind the composite bouquet is to start with one single flower as the center of the bouquet. Then petals are individually wired and layered in around the center flower.
It creates a large and singular looking flower.
Composites are typically made using roses. But can be creating using a variety of gorgeous flowers. Here’s some examples:
Composite Bouquets can also be called Glameria. Here’s a little history!
Almost forgotten, the composite-flower bouquet dates from the early 20th century. Unable to source the wide range of colors and year-round availability found in today’s hybrid roses, florists used this ingenious method of constructing huge ‘roses’ from the petals of gladioli. Then called ‘glameria’, these oversized blooms were worn by themselves on a hat or as a corsage, or several could be fashioned into a bouquet for the bride with an unlimited budget.
And here’s the part you’re all waiting for. What’s out?
